Indulgence

So, the Nintendo DS Lite repair went pretty much the way Olof had feared. That is to say, not well at all. And because I’m the kind of mother who’s raising my kids to demand instant gratification at every turn, I took myself off to the electronics store this afternoon and bought another new one, so the little darlings wouldn’t have to gaze yearningly at Olof while he plays his. Those yearning gazes get me every time.
