IPAD

Tara came in with her typical after bedtime question de nuit.
Mommy?
Yes, Tara.
When you were little and you um got braces, is that when you got your Ipad? (Tara and Em steadfastly call the Ipod, Ipad.) (Em's orthodontist is offering a free Ipod with braces.) (Em can't wait to get braces for the Ipod.)
No, Tara I got it a few years ago at Christmas.
Oh.
Good Night Tara.
Night Mommy.
I didn't have the heart to tell her that when I was her age there were no Ipods. We didn't even have VCRs or touch tone phones. That would blow her little tech mind.

You're right Bec - they found something that makes it worth it for kids. Unlike when we were all younger and the only reward a braces-wearer received was ridicule and a calendar-date for the next tightening. :)
