One day in November.
Aiden: I wish I can get a new computer. It’s laggy when I play games.
Mom: oh? How many of games are laggy?
Aiden: Half of them, maybe less than half. Some are my favorite games.
The following Sunday, on the way to Chinese school., with his friend Ryan.
Aiden: I wish my parents can get me a new computer.
Ryan: wow. That would be great. How much your parent need pay for that?
Aiden: I don’t know. Maybe one thousand?
Across November and December. Occasionally, ——
Aiden: Mom, when can you get the new computer? What timeframe? Can we get one before Christmas?
Mom: I find one in Costco. But it’s out of stock now.
….
Aiden: Mom, I find a game which does not require a fast computer so I can play before I get the new computer.
Mom: Is the game in Roblox too?
Aiden: Yes. But mom, I still need the new computer. I Will want to play those favorite games.
….
Aiden: how is the computer? Last time you said it’s out of stock, how is it now?
Mom: still out of stock. I will check Costco every day.
…
Aiden: do you think we can get a computer by mid January? How long usually Costco gets restock? I will research…(google).. there is no answer for that.
On December 18th(Monday), the computer on Costco online is back in stock and on sale. Mom immediately placed an order. At snack time at night—-
Mom: the computer is in stock in Costco today.
Aiden: yeah! Will you go Costco? ..oh, you bought online? When it can arrive?
After mom confirmed that it would arrive on Thursday, Aiden was so excited that he ran from the dining table to the sofa, jump on, cheering: Finally I can play my ** game!
On December 21, after school, in computer room.
Mom: any difference you saw?
Aiden: ..some cable on my desk?
Mom (pointed to the desktop): touch the button.
Aiden: Oh? You got a desktop? I thought a laptop. How much does it cost? Oh.. (the lights in the box) is it RGB?
On Friday, early release. We invited Ryan to play at home.
Aiden: I got a new computer! Do you want to see?
Ryan: sure.
