这几天，娃儿一直惦记着一个被他误删的App。
我答应他，等有空的时候把旧iPad找出来，我们一起研究一下，再重新下载。
今天突然想起了这件事，于是就把iPad拿去充电。没想到电充得超级慢。
我很好奇这是几几年的iPad，仔细一查才知道，居然是2015年的，难怪已经不能升级了。
于是，我又顺手查了一下最新版现在多少钱。本来还想着，怕娃儿等不到感恩节折扣那一波了，没想到最近居然碰上父亲节优惠。
跟娃儿商量好后，我们决定买蓝色的，很快就下完单了，还顺便让他自己挑了个保护套。
娃儿很开心，开始期待他的新iPad。
晚上，我突然想起来，好像刚才没说清楚，这个iPad到底是谁负责付钱。
于是，我决定捉弄一下他。
我问：
“Baby，你要花自己的钱买iPad吗？”
娃儿看了看我，淡淡地回了一句：
“我以为你说你买给我的。”
听到他这么回答，我还能说啥呢。
只能顺着他的意思：
“嗯，那爸爸妈妈买给你吧！”
娃儿听了，也没说什么。
到了晚上，我发现手机快没电了。
我说：
“Baby，你帮我把power bank拿过来吧！”
他马上就帮我找了出来。
递给我的时候，突然来了一句：
“我以为你又要给我一个银行账户了！”
我心想，这幽默的反应也太快了。
只能笑着回他一句：
“That’s a good response.”

Tingma’s Parenting Diary | 284. A Humorous Kid
Over the past few days, my son had been thinking about an app that he accidentally deleted.
I promised him that when I had some free time, we would find the old iPad together and try to download it again.
Today, I suddenly remembered, so I put the iPad on the charger. To my surprise, it was charging incredibly slowly.
I got curious about how old it was. After checking, I discovered that it was from 2015. No wonder it could no longer be updated.
Then I casually looked up the price of the latest iPad. At first, I thought he might have to wait until the Thanksgiving sales, but it turned out there was a Father’s Day promotion going on.
After talking it over with him, we decided to get the blue one. We quickly placed the order and even let him choose his own protective case.
He was very excited and started looking forward to his new iPad.
Later that evening, it suddenly occurred to me that I had never made it clear who was actually going to pay for it.
So I decided to tease him a little.
I asked,
“Baby, are you going to use your own money to buy the iPad?”
He looked at me and calmly replied,
“I thought you said you were buying it for me.”
After hearing that, what else could I say?
I could only go along with him.
“Well, then Mommy and Daddy will buy it for you.”
He didn’t say anything else.
That night, I noticed that my phone battery was running low.
I said,
“Baby, could you bring me the power bank?”
He immediately went to get it for me.
As he handed it over, he suddenly said,
“I thought you were going to give me another bank account!”
I couldn’t help laughing. His sense of humor and quick wit were just too good.
All I could do was smile and reply,
“That’s a good response.”
