Shortest Argument Ever

"I found the camcorder I want to buy," I said, knowing we were about to have an argument. It costs more than he would want to pay. We've had the exact same conversation every single time I've ever wanted to buy any kind of technology. TheBF always thinks I can find a "good enough" product that costs half as much as whatever it is that I want to buy. He's really only like that about technology. It drives him crazy how quickly technology depreciates, and that annoyance makes him "thrifty" when it comes to that. Most of the time he wins this argument.

He made a face. Here it comes... He said, "That camcorder will cost a lot less in a year..."

"It's my first son. You aren't going to win this argument." I looked him in the eye.

He hesitated. I repeated myself. Then he nodded his head and said, "Okay, I can see that you've made up your mind."

I smiled, "You're a very wise man."

"Sometimes it takes me a while, but I figure it out eventually," he said.

I am so like TheBF I hated to see two years ago people pay $400 for a Blue-Ray player when they are $69 this year. We paid $350 for a small camcorder but small today five years later (after our son) are as small as a phone. Get something small as I saw all over Disney World women just pull them out of their tiny purse and record. I was soooo jealous of how tiny theirs were and so easy to use! I even see women recording their kids in stores with those "flip type" cams.
Glad you Won so quickly!
 
I know that there will be something better next year, or cheaper, but that's a whole year of memories! And I care a lot more about having the pictures and the video than I do about how much less the camera or camcorder will cost next year.

TheBF wisely recognized that the only way for him to win this one was to concede quickly. He's a very smart man. :smile:
 
He is a very smart man indeed. lol

I agree, it's your first, and you will wanna to record every little moment.:smile: He will thank you once the little guy is here.:biggrin1:
