"We"

Our seven year old grandson Luke and I have been "borrowing" Grandpa's iPad the last couple of months to play a couple of games we like.  It's been kind of a him-and-me thing.  I've been telling him that we have to be really careful with the iPad, because it has all of Grandpa's important work information on it.

About a month before Christmas, Luke said, "Grandma, maybe you can ask for your own iPad for Christmas."  I laughed and said that an iPad was way too expensive.

However, on Christmas morning, Luke was looking closely at a package I began to open.  I wasn't thinking of anything in particular as I tore at the wrapping paper.  I opened the box, and there it was.  Luke was literally screeching.  "GRANDMA!  WE GOT AN IPAD!"

Thanks to my husband's generosity, and in willful disobedience to a rule we had made about how much money to spend on each other this year, it was indeed an iPad.  Several times during the day, Luke would come to me and say, "GRANDMA!  I CAN'T BELIEVE WE GOT AN IPAD!"

Yes, Lukey boy.  We got an iPad.  Merry Christmas to us!
