"ipod" by Michelle U.

We used to own this old beat up blue van where one of the doors didn't work, the a/c was broken, the windows didn't go down, and the radio was missing. we used to call it the calorie burner because it would always be really hot and all u could do was sit and sweat. Talk about a luxury car right? anyway that's when it started. all my cousins came over to visit and we went out to eat, it was boring and hot i couldn't even listen to music and they come and, pop! hello i pod! it was the best thing id ever seen. i could listen to music and i would forget about the heat. Pretty cool, i know right?
Everyone had one, they would flash it in my face constantly. so finally i asked for one. "mom can i have an i pod?" she laughed and went back to cooking. so next i went to my dad. "dad, can i have an i pod?" he laughed and turned away. it was too quick to give up hope though. i just kept saying to myself that they never said no and i mean usually they just went to "ha ay michelle, Que piensas? we don't poop money." Think Positive Michelle.
I could picture it already. Me and my i pod, walking down the street. i looked so cool. id be listening to music and someone would go "oh hey can i see your i pod, i wanna see what kind of music you have." and id go "oh yea i JUST got it."
I couldn't wait until they wanted to get me one so found an excuse to go to target the next day. right away i went to the electronics section. my plan was to make them feel bad for me. So the whole time i stood in front of this big glass cabinet full of XBOX's, games, radios, and last but not least, i pods. I just stood there and looked and looked and looked. what did i get out of it? A back ache oh and lets not forget some lady staring at me constantly like i was planing on stealing something. My plan wasn't successful but i got some paper for school out of it.
For a while i carried a CD player and about 4 Cd's. i called it "vintage". To this day i still don't own an i pod. but now when my parents ask me for something i laugh and turn. dang does that piss them off. thats way better than owning an i pod!.
