Do you remember which store? They are not lucky. They are 7, 9->10, and 10->11. They go to one of the hardest schools in the US that gives them ~2hrs of HW each night. They have daily chores on top of that as well. They've been busting their asses for quite a while now to earn the things we provide as parents. One of those things we provide is the occasional bigger ticket items like a cell phone the 10->11 old received right when school started. The occasional game, toy, etc. ... and ofcourse in this case, boys are getting new consoles+Pokemon. Something they've been talking about for over a year. My daughter's bday (7yr old) isn't until April. But she'll get boy's DSi and we'll get her a game for it for all her hardwork as well. Then if she continues to keep with her responsibilities so well, she'll earn a 2DS in April. Hopefully by then they put out other colors. So no. They are not lucky. The work hard and earn their way just like everyone else in the world. |
Oh they're lucky, lucky that they have parents as level headed as you that's awesome.
