Non-Cork parents/child:
Child: Mom, Dad, can I get an iPad? All the other kids have them.
Mom/Dad: Sit down here sweetheart. See Mommy and Daddy love you very very much. You're super. Yes, you're our super awesome little champ. But right now sweetheart we're...... well we're financially challenged. (Chokes up). Since the global downturn Daddy's not getting the same salary we once enjoyed. It's not that you don't deserve it sweetie pie. We love you sooooo much. And I'm sorry if we're failing to live up to your parenting ideal. Perhaps if we invest our money wisely we can become better parents and buy an iPad for our special little champ soon. Is that okay buddy? Do you still love us? Is your self esteem adversely affected?
