"Hey Johnny, happy New Year! I just talked to your grandmother and she said she got you an iPad identical to the one I got you for Christmas! She said she had to save for so long, but decided that since she loved you so much and how adamant you were about having one of these she could forgo some of her medications, phone bill and cable bills during the fall just to afford the $600 tablet you liked. I'm surprised you didn't tell me you ended getting two of them! I know we have grown apart these past few years and I understand you couldn't make it home this time, but this didn't stop me from feeling you should get an iPad either. So tell me, what are you going to do with your two iPads? Love, Mom"
"Dear Mom, I was so desperate for money I sold them on Craigslist. Unfortunately the internets are so cutthroat these days I had to ask just $450 for the two iPads...sorry I didn't call you, I couldn't bare to tell you I had to part with my gifts. -Johnny"
