“So I’m thinking about buying a camera.” I mentioned to my wee niece, Willa.
“You mean the kind that doesn’t have a computer attached to it?” She asked.
“Yes,” I said, “the other kind is called a laptop, and the camera is sort of secondary.”
She had no idea. “But how will you document our rich and loving relationship?”
I wasn’t sure. “Maybe we could get someone to take our picture.”
She asked about rocking the boat and trying to fix something that ain’t broke.
I mentioned picture quality.
“Schmality!” She squeaked.
Don’t tell her we took a trip to Best Buy today.
Don’t you think I deserve some sort of medal for not chewing on that pudgy little face? This kid is seriously cute.
And you’ll still have that laptop around, you know, to take pictures with when you grow nostalgic for simpler times.
As for me, I’m still sad you never bought a lanyard for your laptop.
I really should have followed through on that lanyard suggestion. I hate to be disloyal, but I am enjoying a camera that fits in my pocket.
Darling! The baby AND the conversation 🙂
