I haven't asked for anything for Christmas or my birthday since I was like 9 or 10. I'd always tell my mom that she didn't need to get me anything so I usually got something similar to what my slightly younger brother wanted for Christmas. And since his birthday is the day before mine, it was pretty much the same story there too. That was always fine with me, I don't like having "stuff". Then like a week before last Christmas we were at this big family gathering and a little cousin of mine showed me his mini that he won while playing one of this ridiculously impossible arcade games. I idly mentioned that they were pretty cool, and I liked it better than the full sized ipad.

Christmas came and I got it. The card said "Finally". She was more happy than I was.
