Sprung!

Saturday, 15 November 2014

Yesterday Jett and I were doing some errands in town while Zali swum.  We happened to walk past a Smiggle shop (colourful stationery that the kids love) and here is the ensuing conversation: 

Jett: Can we go in there and buy something?
Me: No, we don't need anything
Jett: But you are having a spending spree
Me (looking at the only item - a sieve - in my shopping bag) A spending spree ? But  look I only bought this sieve, and this is for Granny!
Jett: Well you and Daddy are having a spending spree
Me: Daddy?
Jett: Yes, the other day he bought a laptop AND a tablet
Me: huh?
Me: really?
Jett: Yes. 
Me: huh! Where did he buy them from ?
Jett: From home, on his computer
Me: (thinking he was probably just browsing and not buying) But did you see him actually hit the 'buy' button?
Jett: Yes definitely.  It costed (sic) a whole lot of money.
Me: huh. (dialling Jon's number)..
Me (to Jon on my mobile phone): Hey get this, Jett just said you bought a tablet and a laptop. That can't be right can it?
Jon: uh - sorry can't talk now got to get the pizza dough on.. [dial tone]

Me: hmmmm…

So. When I got home it turned out that Jon had in fact purchased a tablet, but not a laptop - Jett was confusing that with the Windows 365 subscription he'd got for us all. Anyway - remembering that the last time that Jon made a secret laptop purchase it was for this Macbook Air, which, as I happened to be at home to intercept it when it arrived, has been mine ever since. I guess I just need to clear my schedule for next week and I'll have a tablet as well.. cool!
