post 43 stories about my wife (read all 7 entries…)
At the Apple Store 3 years ago

My wife wants an iPod, and actually, she wants me to buy a new one so she can have my current one. I’m waiting for a newer generation that will probably have more memory, and keep telling her that we’ll just get her a new one, but she wants mine. It is a long-standing discussion.

We went to the Apple Store over the weekend, so I could look at the newer macbooks, and we passed by the iPod display.

I picked one of the new video models up to show her (tempt her) and I looked through the folders on it to see what demo pictures they had.

It was perfect. I couldn’t believe it. There was a whole folder of cute baby pictures. We’ve been in high baby mode due to the recent birth of our nephew and as I scrolled through the pictures did all the voices of the babies as they tempted her to purchase the iPod.

“Oh, look how cute I am, don’t you want to buy me?” I said in my high-pitched pretend baby voice.

It was hilarious. I enjoyed it too much.

Then I went to see if there were any demo videos as she put one of the display’s earbuds in her ear. And wonderful! There was a Coldplay video and as I started to play it, continuing in the baby voice I said, “oh, look, it’s Coldplay. You loooove Coldplay…”

It was ridiculous and fun, and we were both thoroughly entertained. We do have a good time together…

Just curious

if the tempting worked and she got the iPod. Or if she has yours yet? :)

That was a truly cute story that has made me grin from ear to ear!

P.S. Thanks for giving me cheer number 4000!!

Well, I guess it worked.

I ended up buying her the video iPod to use for her new long commute (which ended up being very short, long story).

And she offered it to me to use after my Pod kaputzed, for my new long commute (which is still long), which I steadfastly refused to do, as I might just sorta ‘take it’ after that…

But then quickly she took back her offer after I explained that it would involve me copying over everything she had loaded onto it (though I explained this would be easily reversed). It was a cute follow up showing she is actually a little attached to the little bugger, though she still hasn’t used the video feature.

You’re welcome for the cheer as well, and thanks for the bombing you gave back!
