Yes, my husband did go by the store today for an iPad 2. The AT&T store was supposed to get in a shipment, but alas, they had not. They could order one for him… that would come in two weeks. No thanks, he said. He’s going on a business trip overseas and he’ll simply buy one when he returns.<\/p>\n
He didn’t want to deal with the mall lines, so he came home without one, much to the distress of my children. “The iPad 2 came out today<\/em>?” the little one asked with wide eyes.<\/p>\n “Yes, it did,” he said.<\/p>\n “And you didn’t<\/em> get one?”<\/p>\n “No,” he told us. “And, you’ll be disappointed to hear that the St. Patrick’s Day version of Angry Birds came out.”<\/p>\n “I want to play it!” yelled the boy.<\/p>\n “Too bad,” I said. “Daddy is going out of town.”<\/p>\n “So? Can’t I still play it?”<\/p>\n “The iPad goes with Daddy,” I told him.<\/p>\n “Harumph,” both kids said.<\/p>\n “You can play it when I get back and I get my new iPad,” Adam told them.<\/p>\n “Who gets your old iPad?” they asked.<\/p>\n “I do,” I said to their disappointment. Until…<\/p>\n A thought occurred to me. “You know,” I told them, “just because Daddy’s going away doesn’t have to mean anything. Daddy isn’t the only one with a credit card.”<\/p>\n “So?” asked the boy.<\/p>\n “So, we have a whole week to go buy us a new iPad 2. And then Daddy<\/em> is the one stuck with the old iPad.”<\/p>\n And, once again, I am the most loved parent.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Yes, my husband did go by the store today for an iPad 2.
