13 year old: Dad, can I have an MP3 player for Christmas?

Me: I’ll do you one better. I got an old iPod. Let me find it and see if it works.

It fk’n works. And now she’s clowning me for my playlists from 20 years ago.

Next step. Go back in time and get Napster.

I am “they should outlaw advertising patches on jerseys” years old.
