No, no Ashley you're not slow. I too had to watch it 2nd time for it to make sense. I mean I got the gist the first time but it was after the second time I viewed it, did it really click.
And yes, may I also chime in and say that you're story was hilarious? You are quite the comedian.
Oh, I am so envious of anyone who is getting RAYD on DVD. I'm waiting (impatiently, I might add) for it come out in the theater here in the States.
