iPod

GUESS WHAT?! I'M REALLY EXCITED BECAUSE FRIDAY NIGHT I GOT AN IPOD NANO!!! AND NOW I CAN'T STOP TYPING IN ALL CAPS!!!

SO AS OF NOW, I HAVE 76 SONGS ON IT. I ALSO GOT AN ARMBAND THINGY THAT YOUR IPOD FITS INTO SO YOU CAN RUN WITH IT.

WHAT IF I'M SO DISTRACTED WHILE LISTENING TO MY IPOD THAT I DON'T SEE A PERSON OR CAR OR POTATO OR SOMETHING IN FRONT OF ME AND I TRIP OVER IT AND FALL INTO THE CONSTRUCTION ZONE ON THAT ONE STREET AND GET JACKHAMMERED? (IS THAT A WORD?)

BUT THAT'S JUST A WORST-CASE SCENARIO. (EXCEPT WITH MY LUCK, IT BECOMES A LOT MORE LIKELY TO HAPPEN.)

SO ANYWAYS, I LISTEN TO MY IPOD ABOUT 14 HOURS A DAY. (THE OTHER TEN HOURS I'M SLEEPING AND IT'S CHARGING.) HOWEVER, I DON'T THINK MY PARENTS ARE AS PROUD OF THAT FACT AS I AM:

Mom: Kim, if you listen to that iPod a lot with the earphones in, you'll go deaf.
Kim: WHAT??????
Mom: I said, IF YOU USE THOSE EARPHONES A LOT, YOU'LL GO DEAF!!!
Kim: WHAT?!?!
Mom: (pulls earphones out of Kim's ears.) TAKE A BREAK!!!
Kim: First of all, ow. And second, fine.
Dad: If you listen through earphones a lot, the risk of ear infection goes up 700%!
Mom: ...
Kim: ...
Dad: What? It's true.
Kim: Okay, fine. I'll just take out the earphones, turn the iPod up really loud, and we can ALL listen to it!!!
Mom: ...
Dad: ...

OKAY, SO MAYBE IT DIDN'T GO EXACTLY LIKE THAT.

P.S. THAT FACT ABOUT EARPHONES INCREASING THE RISK OF EAR INFECTION? IT'S TRUE.
