But, that's what you wanted...

This year for Christmas, we got Maranda an iPod nano. It's bright pink and we had it engraved for her. She's been talking about wanting an iPod since last Christmas. So, this year that was her "big" present. She was very excited when she opened it. However, she also wanted a Nintendo DS Lite (new type of Gameboy) and she didn't get it. It costs around $120. This wasn't a big deal until we went over to a friend's house. Each of their two daughters got one of these Nintendos and they were playing with them. They each had some game where they had virtual dogs that they could pet, feed, take for a walk, etc. Remember those Tomagachi things? It's like that. But, the Nintendo DS Lite has bluetooth technology so, if both people were playing this same game and stood next to each other, one person's "dog" jumps from their Nintendo to the other so the dogs can play together. This is kind of cool, but not $120 cool especially after having spent $200 on the iPod. Now, she's sad she didn't get a Nintendo DS Lite and says she'll NEVER have enough money saved up to buy one herself. Even though she's got $50 left from Christmas money and Easter will be here before you know it. I guess you just never have everything you want. That sucks.
