a new ring of hell

We received a surprise package the other day. It was a gift from my in-laws- an i-sight camera for the computer. So, yay. New technology, right? Not so much. I am sitting at my laptop screwing around while Jason sits at his computer w/Henry on his lap “video chatting” with the in-laws. I might die. Seriously. This is the second time this has happened today and they have a stupid mechanical parrot that repeats everything they are saying but garbled and even crazier than they are. They are talking over each other and counting and asking dumb questions and singing dumb songs. Now one of them is turning on and off a flashlight and on and off and on and off and talking about how it’s going on and off and on and off. Come on people, my kid is not retarded. I know I could leave the room but I sort of don’t want too and sort of can’t. I also know that this should be a nice thing and that I am easily annoyed and ungrateful and bitchy and whatever. But that dying thing. It seriously might happen. Pray for me. Update: Jason just asked me to gouge his ears out with scissors. At least I'm not alone. Oh, and Henry really does like it. Maybe he is retarded.
