typical ipad conversation these days


  • Jacket: Look at my booty.
  • Me: I see it.
  • (shakes butt in the camera)
  • Yep, that's you're butt.
  • Read me a book.
  • Ok, I've got 'Harry the Dirty Dog' right here when you're ready.
  • (still shaking butt in the camera) Read it to my butt.
  • I'm not going to read a book to your butt. (put my fingers up to the camera and make pinching gesture)
  • SQUEAL.
  • (more pinching gestures)
  • (reciprocal pinching gestures)
  • Are you ready for the book?
  • I want to play a game.
  • Ok, what game do you want to play?
  • I spy! I spy something........................BLUE!
  • Ok, in your house or in my house?
  • MY house!
  • Well, all I can see is the ceiling so you're going to have to move the ipad.
  • (turns ipad upside-down and camera goes black)
  • Now I can't see anything.
  • (turns ipad back to the ceiling)
  • Jacket can you put the ipad on the stand like I've shown you all?
  • (hands ipad to grandma) Hellllllo Rebecca!
  • Hi Grandma! How are you?
  • Great honey. You look nice this evening.
  • Aww, thanks so much. All I can see is your boobs again!
  • (laughs and moves ipad so that it points back to ceiling, hands it back to Jacket)
  • Hey, Jacket if you open the stand...
  • I SPY SOMETHING BLUE!
  • (just start randomly guessing) Is it, the shirt?
  • YEAH-YA! (she's said 'yeah' like this for almost 2 years)
  • Wow, cool!
  • How did you know?
  • I have no idea.
