Granny Wants a Discman
I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving. We had a nice time at the Ex-Boyfriend household. My 85 year old grandma came to spend a few days with us and we ate our body weight in Tofurky and apple pie. My wife asked my grandmother what she’d like for Christmas, and she replied “I think I’d like a discman. I have a walkman but I can’t find tapes for it any more.”
“I don’t think they make those any more,” my wife said “But we can get you an mp3 player.”
“How many CDs can I listen to on that?” Grandma asks.
“All of them,” replied my wife, trying to suppress a chuckle “every CD you now own and ever will own. Plus the mp3 player won’t skip and it’s really small, it will fit in your pocket.”
“Because I have about TWENTY CDs” grandma says, suspicious that perhaps her overwhelming collection of music won’t fit on the mystical mp3 player.
“I think we’ll be able to make that work” my wife assures her.
Later we showed Grandma our iphones. I really can’t wait til I am 85. I bet by then iphones will have a teleportation feature. The future is neat.
That’s adorable. She’s going to be amazed at how tiny the mp3 player is! I really liked your grandmother.
