Story Time

Once upon a time, a little Ditz got a phone call at her place of employment from her Matriarch. Momma Ditz is a pretty good shopper, and Momma Ditz likes to get presents for her Little Ditz and Ditz-siblings.

Here is the dialogue:

MD: I am at Winners [obviously], and they have IPOD CASES on sale. Do you want one?

LD: No, what do I need a stupid case for? What do they look like?

MD: I have your brother on the other line, I'll speak to you later.

Now, before we continue on this journey, let's recap the facts:

• Mother hung up on Ditz.
• Brother Bear is clearly more important.
• Mother is buying Ipod CASES.
• CASES FOR IPODS = STUPID FABRIC BAGS FOR IPODS = USELESS GALORE.

Flash forward a few hours.

Ditz goes home and enters her kitchen. What does she see? 2 IPOD DOCKING STATIONS on the kitchen table.

Momma Ditz comes home with Brother Bear not too far behind.

LD: WHO ARE THESE DOCKING STATIONS FOR?

MD: Brother Bear and Kiddo. You said you didn't want a case.

LD: THIS ISN'T A CASE, THIS IS A DOCKING STATION. I NEED ONE OF THESE.

In brief summary of the aftermath: Ditz whined. Momma offered to go back and fetch another one. Brother Bear informed that Kiddo can use her karaoke machine as speakers. Kiddo wasn't home yet, so Ditz snuck docking station into her room before Kiddo could see it existed. Ditz got a docking station. Ditz wins.

Moral(s) of the story: Momma Ditz doesn't know the difference between a case and a docking station. Ditz wins at life. As usual.
