Gideon pitched a minor fit this morning.
He wants an iPhone by Friday.
He needs an iPhone.
I'm reminded of a time when I was 4, in a department store shopping for school clothing with my grandmother.
That was back in the day when they let 4 year olds enter kindergarten.
Starting kindergarten at age 4 was no favor to me.
I believe it's why I perpetually feel "behind" everyone else.
Or perhaps it was a favor.
I try harder than many.
Anyhow, back to the department store, with my grandmother, school clothes shopping.
I pitched a minor fit.
I wanted a bra.
My grandmother refused.
She said I did not need a bra.
I relented, but insisted that I better get a bra by second grade.
I hate to break it to Gideon, but I did not get a bra in second grade.

when you get the Iphone for Gideon please make sure to get a good international rate plan so he can call me regularly.....
ReplyDeleteFreaky! Starting kindergarten at 4 is another thing we have in common.
ReplyDeleteI didn't ask for a bra at 4 though. I was busy making myself dizzy twirling in a circle in the hopes of turning into Wonder Woman, like Lynda Carter. I remember twirling in my parents' basement, watching Lynda, and wondering what the heck I was doing wrong. I twirled with such gusto, and yet... and yet...
I did the Wonder Woman twirl too, and like you, nothing happened. Probably because deep down I knew I was really connected to Princess Leia.
ReplyDeleteRauan, I'm surprised he hasn't texted you yet with my phone. He texted Bruce last week while I was sleeping.
I did the Wonder Woman thing, too, but then realized I was the Bionic Woman.
