When I was a child and my sister was going to start school, she got a school bag which was red and very pretty. I was really envious. I wanted one just the same. Even though I wasn’t starting school that year, my parents bought one for me too. It was blue, not red, but to me it was just as pretty.
Then finally, when it was time for my first day in school, I was very proud of my lovely blue bag. Time had gone by and the pretty blue bag wasn’t ‘trendy’ anymore. My classmates noticed and started teasing me for having such an unfashionable bag.
If this had happened when I was a little older or something similar had happened today, I would have been sad, but tried not to let on. Back then though, life hadn’t hurt me as it has now, so I replied, quite calmly:
“You don’t like my bag? I do.”
My mean classmates lost their stride and never mentioned my bag again. I loved it just as much even though my classmates probably didn’t. Probably, I say. I’m guessing they didn’t care about the bag. They probably just wanted to be mean, but that didn’t work.
I’m seeing a connection between this little story and the so called ‘funny’ stories about Apple products, hinting that Apple users are idiots. So I say, just like I did then:
“You don’t like my pretty new iPhone 6+? I do.”
