The face of amazement when Santa brings you what you want
Ja really wanted an ipod... Dropping hints like I was a natural blonde. But, apparently he really didn't think he would get one. Ja understands the difference between wants and needs, and this is not a need--- he has an MP3 player-- it's just from TWO Christmas's ago, and that makes it a dinosaur; an antique. But I cut down on my lunchtime shopping and began to save my twenties and fifties. Course, I told Ja, just a few times, that it really was too expensive, and we have things, like our new windows, to pay off. So, I waited to a week before Christmas to purchase his new toy, and then Radio Shack didn't have any!!! I didn't want to cough up the money, waited too long, and now I'm sweating! I work over 50 hours/ week and don't have time for a wild goose chase. So, then that night, I'm over at my cousin's to babysit her two little ones and I'm telling her the story. Well, wouldn't you know... her husband just got a New ipod as his bonus and now he has two!! So, he comes home that night and makes a deal with me (deal--- do you still call it a deal, if you know you're really coming out way ahead???). If they didn't pay me for babysitting that night, and we'd babysit once more, I could have his ipod. HELL YES! So..... come Christmas Eve, Ja opens his big box of goodies- only to find first, my ipac (I know--- two re-gifts), then Southwest air tickets to meet up with our best friends, 4 other couples, in Dallas for a weekend of fun (thanks to the money I saved!!), and then... as the pic. shows.... found in the bottom of the box... his ipod. Classic face--- you can see the 6-year-old Ja spilling out!! -em
