Father's Day is right around the corner and children of all ages are scrambling to find the perfect gift for Dad's special day. One area father is hoping to hit the jackpot.
Thomas Lane, father of two girls, ages 10 and 5 has been dropping unsubtle hints for the past three months about his desire to get a $350.00, 120 gigabyte Ipod Classic as a present from his children. "I've told everyone it's the only thing I want." Lane went on to say how he certainly deserves to get it with all the screaming, fighting and general carrying on he has to deal with on a day to day basis. "I'm like, worth it, you know? Besides I'm sure they have enough saved up in their piggy banks to cover it. I've seen those birthday checks the get from their grandparents."
Lane has owned an 80 gigabyte Ipod for over a year and is rarely seen without it. Lane's wife Lou Ann is attempting to take a more pragmatic approach. "He has one already for God's sake. I can't for the life of me imagine what he could possibly want with another one. I already told him that we could go out and eat at the Outback and I'd buy him some credits on iTunes or something. What more can I do? Those things are way too expensive. It's just plain ridiculous."
Lane acknowledges the uphill battle, however he says that should he not receive the Ipod, things around the house will, 'not be pleasant' for some time to come and that he will be decidedly 'grumpy' unless he gets his way. Lane also alluded to a series of passive aggressive behaviors that would result such as turning the air conditioner up to 80 degrees instead of 78 during the day and 'forgetting' to wash the car for at least two weeks. "It's time I got some respect around here", Lane said.
