For Valentine's day, we bought ourselves a Kindle Fire.
Aside from being the best V-day gift ever (because dancing Friday night was painful when you only practice once a year), we unhooked the WI-FI, cleared out our stuff, and passed the iPod on to Maggie as an early birthday present.
We told her about the decision while we purchased the Kindle.
"Maggie, Mom and Dad are getting a Kindle, which does everything that the iPod does, so we will not be needing the iPod anymore."
*Her eyes get big and she smiles*
"So we are looking for what we should do with our iPod. Are there any ideas you have about that?"
At this point, Tim steps in front of Maggie and confidently determines the solution.
"You will pass the iPod on to me, right???"
*Melissa's in tears laughing, Maggie's learned how to give a crusty for the first time in her life, Ami raised her hand for another (obvious) alternative, and David just shook his head.* Not knowing how to respond without crushing Tim, he just said,
"Nice try."
Tim's bewilderment was palpable. He was completely sure - even when we were speaking directly to Maggie - that it would be his.
Sadness ensued.
Except for those with the Kindle or the iPod.
