My daughter was close to celebrating her birthday, and I was at a loss as to what present to get her. Knowing her, I figured she wouldn’t like dolls as much, thinking she’s too old for them, but I knew no other presents she’d like. My wife had no ideas so I had to find something good on my own, and take responsability in case it was a failure.
Browsing all the toy shops, supermarkets, and other stores, didn’t offer any results. I didn’t have a lot of money either, so I was looking for something good and cheap. Just when I was losing all hope, something grabbed my eye. It was nice, seemed like fun, and was really cheap.
The polite salesman provided all the details I wanted to know before making my purchase, and I was satisfied by the time I left, with the sansa shaker 1gb mp3 in my pocket. To be sure it worked, I gave it a try on the way back home, and had so much fun using it that I decided to go back an buy another one, only this time, for me.
After making it home in time to catch the birthday party, I wrapped the player nicely and handed it to her. She was very excited and I could see she liked it a lot. I showed her how to use it, and how to upload songs on to it, and she never let go of it afterwards. Not even when I asked her if I could borrow it for a while.
I revealed to my wife my player, and she called me crazy. She doesn’t know a thing about technology. Buying it has been one of the best decisions I’ve taken, and I’ve been using it ever since, even at work. There’s always time to listen to a song, no matter how busy I am.
