PSP Envy
My sister Kelly drove up from L.A. today and we all had dinner at my sister Hannah's house. I noticed that my nephew -- Kelly's six-year-old son -- seemed incapable of putting down his Game Boy Advance. I knew Kelly had recently bought the boy a PSP so I asked Kelly why the boy was still playing with his Game Boy. "He doesn't like the PSP," she replied. I suggested that she give it to me. "Ask him," she said, gesturing at the boy. So I asked the boy if he wanted to give his uncle the PSP that he never used, and he looked at me like I was fucking crazy. "Why would I do that?" he demanded.
In the event that somewhere down the line the boy wants my help with the correct way to throw a football, or what he should major in college, I won't forget this.
