Caleb was messing around while I was experimenting with slow shutter speeds.

For Real?

Yesterday, we went to Best Buy during the "Tax-Free" weekend. In my opinion, the tax-free draw is just a bunch of hype. Why don't we have an "Income Tax Free" paycheck? I think that would go a lot further for everybody. But, I digress.

As we were wandering around Best Buy, we stopped by the Rock Band 2 setup for the Xbox 360. Molly and Caleb were playing through "Livin' On A Prayer" by Bon Jovi when we noticed that the game was on sale for $99. Personally, I've had a lot of fun playing Rock Band but I never felt like it had reached a good price point for me. Well, that changed this weekend.

So, while Caleb was sitting on the stool in front of the drum pads, I pulled the box off of the shelf behind him and announced to him and Molly that I was going to buy it. "For real?" he asked excitedly. "Yes," I replied. Then, he cocked his head to one side and gave me his best "I don't believe you" look and said, matter of factly, "For real." Again, I told him we were buying it. Even after the Rock Band 2 box was in the back of the van and we were pulling out of the parking space, Caleb asked again, "Are we really getting it?" It was hilarious. I guess he was half expecting me to say "Just kidding!" and walk back into the store and get my money back.

Anyway, Joy and I thought it was particularly funny that he just couldn't believe we were getting something like that.

Well, I have to go and keep an eye on Sophie.

Goodnight!
