Scene: Marinka and her 13 year old daughter are at home. Â Talking.
Mommy, what would you like for Christmas?
An iPad.
No, I mean, from me.
An iPad.
I can’t afford an iPad!
Why not?
I don’t have enough money.
Oh.
How about something I make myself?
Sure. Do you know how to make an iPad?
NO.
Oh.
Do you like anything else besides iPads?
Yes.
What?
Altoids.
I can’t give you Altoids for Christmas!
Can’t afford those either, huh?
No! Altoids are not a gift.
Ok, I’ll think of something between Altoids and iPads.

Ok, I got it.
What?
A shower cap. But not a shower cap that you get for free from a hotel. Â A sort of fancyish shower cap.
You really want a shower cap as a gift from me for Christmas?
No, Â I really wanted an iPad and Altoids.
So you want a shower cap?
Yes.
Why can’t you just put a plastic bag on your head.
Believe me, I’m considering it.

Hahaha. Perhaps you can ask for a fancy plastic bag.
I hope my kids are as funny as yours when they grow up. I want an ipad as well, but I’m told with great excitement that I’m getting a new clip for the dog’s leash and IT’S RED. May I borrow your plastic bag when you’re done with it?
I guess buying her an economy size pack of maxipads and drawing an “i” on it won’t work?
*Laugh*
I’m getting a bottle of liquid soap from my own bathroom closet that I bought myself at the grocery store a couple of weeks ago. Oh and it’s wrapped in SpongeBob paper.

What is it with these kids and not being able to afford iPads for their mothers. Damn economy.

You sweet girl so deserves an iPad. I don’t know why you are keeping it from her.
LOL. I have missed reading your blog. Shame on me. That is funny.
I’m not really sure that a shower cap is the median between Altoids and iPads. Perhaps a knock-off pashmina?
