Kindleness

How to buy your mom a Mother's day gift in 10 steps.

Step 1: Find an ad for the Kindle on your desk, along with your mom's Best Buy rewards card. Subtle.

Step 2: Go to Best Buy with Luke and specify which one you want. Purchase a badass cover complete with book light. Make sure to get a gift card so she can buy books. Make sure you use the rewards card so she can get her points, haha.

Step 3: Realize halfway down the road that you got the wrong one.

Step 4: Irritatedly turn around, go back in, and get the right one.

Step 5: Get excited, driving home in your brand new car with an awesome gift for your mom. Life is amazing.

Step 6: Bring it home, intending to wrap it for Sunday.

Step 7: Get real, and watch mom tear open the package as soon as you come in the door with a Best Buy bag. Giant smile on her face.

Step 8: Listen and watch as she looks it over and exclaims and giggles with glee at all the cool features.

Step 9:  Linger around in case she needs help setting it up even though she insists on setting it up herself. Be surprised at how little help she needs.

Step 10: Hopefully get to borrow it some day ;o)

I love being able to do neat things like this for my mom.
