Anjali (7 years old), on her way home from the pool:
“Mommy, for my next birthday, can you get me Google glass?”
“Wow! Google glass. Bunj, do you even know what Google glass does?”
“Yeah, it takes a picture if you blink. But it doesn’t have that any more because of security issues. But they do a whole bunch of other things that I don’t know about.”
“How do you know all this?”
“I watched a bunch of videos about them. So, can I have it for my bat mitzvah?”
“We’re not Jewish. We don’t do bat mitzvahs.”
“Okay, can I have it for my sweet 16? Please mama, they’re the awesomest things in the world… (Pause)… other than you.”
