A `psuedo` parent

What to do,what to say?.. My lady`s youngest wants all the things I assume those going on 16 wish for. A new phone,a new laptop. She is not stupid,she knows her mum cannot afford it.

I`m thinking-try to get a job in your summer holiday. Earn a few pennies and when you get to 16 this old fart might just match penny to penny for your birthday. Which is just after the schools go back .

I could buy her both yesterday-but I still think one has to learn life is not easy.

Have you seen what a top quality laptop costs???

Yes I`m soft-I`ll buy her something upper mid range-enough to see her through school.

Saving time. The late Peter Sellars was reputed to have said when asked `Why did you take an instant dislike to me`

It saves time.
