Blueberry

Simple joys of parenting.....
Last night......

Son: (trying hard to concentrate on his homework) "Mum, can you please upgrade my handphone or not?"

Mum: (painting her toe nails) "Hmmm? Upgrade? Whatever for?

Son: "Can or not? Like some PDA phone or what."

Mum: "Why can't you use my old LG phone? It's a PDA what."

Son: "I dunno.... how about like...... Apple iphone?"

Mum: "Huh! For YOU?!"

Son: (head down, still writing) "Or maybe a Blueberry."

Mum: (head down, still painting) "Blueberry, whatever do you want a Blueberry for? You need to check many emails issit?"

Son: (Silent)

Mum: (Silent)

Suddenly, they look at each other and realise what they've just said.
Both burst out laughing at the same time: "OK! Can!"

(Note: Son relates conversation to Dad later and Dad says even Blueberries are expensive. He promises him a 'strawberry' instead)
