Mine! Mine! Mine!

Big Kid spent the entire evening circling my new laptop, eyeing it greedily.

"The screen is so bright compared to my other laptop," I said to Mr. Ashley.

"I can turn dat down for you. Do you want me to turn it down? It's real easy, I'll do it," Big Kid piped up.

"No. You can't touch this computer ever. It is only for my work, not for playing. But will you turn the monitor on my other laptop up for me? I don't know how."

"No. I dest want to help wif your new computer. Dat's da one I like."

Yeah, I bet. Back off vulture. It's mine. I got something nice for once.

I'll have to hide the fact that I have the ability to get on the internet anywhere, or that my phone can now get online, or his little brain will just explode with the possibilities.
