Last Saturday I received a call from my Dad while he was at Costco. This is how the conversation basically went:
Dad: Brian, it's your Dad. Do you think Mom would like an iPod for her birthday?
Me: No. If she does, I have one that I can give her.
Dad: How about a GPS?
Me: Dad you guys don't really go anywhere. Why are you asking me what she wants?
Dad: Well, you talk to her.
Me: You talk to her more.
Dad: Not really.
Me: Well, maybe that should be you're gift than.
Dad: How about a big TV? LCD or plasma? Samsung's a good one, right?
Me: Gee Dad, I don't know I haven't really been researching it.
Dad: I should have just brought you with me to Costco.
Me: Dad I'm in Salt Lake City.
Dad: Are you going to a concert or something?
Me: No. I'm going to a friend's house.
Dad: Oh.
When I showed up the next day to help celebrate my mom's birthday, sure enough there was the 46" Samsung TV. Glad I could help. :)
