almost two years later ...

and still an idiot.  
The conversation:

him: Mom and Pop are getting a new laptop with a webcam. Do you have a laptop with a webcam? I know that there's also Skpe. I was thinking for beeka's birthday that a webcam would be good.

me: A webcam? Ummm. Is this the conversation that I had with you almost two years ago - about viewing/talking on webcam due to the distance?

him: [no comment...silence]

me: so are you saying that if beeka has a birthday party no one in your family is planning on attending AGAIN THIS YEAR? Besides, my laptop is dead and has been for two months now - it's not a priority in my book.

him: oh, is he going to have a party? When would it be?

me: Well his birthday is in a few months and usually people have kids parties on the weekend! I think it's far enough in advance and being on a weekend someone could make it this time.

him: oh well you will have to let us know and we will see what we can do? But if you get a laptop maybe I can pay for the webcam?

me: [sigh]

him: is there a problem

me: Thanks, good bye. Have a good day.

[i hang up the phone]

me to myself: idot!
