my silly pops

the past weekend my dad called to ask if i still had the digital rebel he had passed down to me a while ago.  i let him know i had sold it to a friend & it's now making a home for itself in the bay area.  the reason my dad is calling because he wants this:

Canon50d

The Canon 50d just came out and is 1400bux.  he's waiting til it goes down before he picks it up.  then he is proposing that the XT that he gave me for graduation can be given to his brother in new jersey.  This would leave me camera-less!  But then we had this conversation.

pops: So we can give your Tito Joey the Rebel XT that you have.

me: uh huh (thinking, well what am i going to use?)

pops: You know I really like my XTi.  It's small and the pictures come out nice.

me: Well then you can give me your 40D then. (me smiling from ear to ear)

pops: WHAT?!?!

me: You just said, you like how the XTi handles.  I don't want to put you out by having you part with something you like!

pops: i can hear you smiling over the phone right now...

me: well?

pops:  well this will be in the future when the price goes down

me: okay pops

so i just brokered a camera exchage with my dad.  hahahahah.  he will buy the 50d.  i will give my XT to my tito joey.  dad will give me his 40d.

And all is right in the world.

it pays to be in a camerabug family
