Humor Post #128 from Dr. Crankenfuss, The World’s Awesomest Raving and Rapping Middle School blogger –

Today I’m going to tell you a story. It’s how I tried to get either an Xbox One or a PlayStation 4. They both seem kind of awesome so I’d be satisfied with either one. Maybe my mom will go along, I thought. After all, I AM her only son. And it IS holiday time. Wouldn’t a mom want to please her only son?

What happened is detailed below. In all its gory details.

WHICH PRESENT DO I DESERVE TO GET?
I’M SURE MY MOM WILL BE FINE WITH IT
by Dr. Crankenfuss

In case you haven’t noticed
There’s a world wide war
It’s the forces of the Xbox
Vs. PS 4

It’s hard to stay cool
Or reach your gaming goals
When all you got goin’
Is an old console

You can’t miss those ads
They’re on all the sports
Makes me kinda feel like
My life is falling short

Don’t wanna be out the loop
Don’t wanna be out of touch
But why’d they have to make
Those darned things cost so much?

I told my mom I love her
But I’d love her even more.
If she would just shell out
For a PlayStation 4

She didn’t appreciate my comments
So I promised to sacrifice
“I won’t complain anymore,” I said.
“I promise to be nice.”

That made her start to laugh so hard
She held her sides in pain
I knew my case was hopeless
I didn’t ask again

But I learned a valuable lesson
Don’t talk too much smack
Don’t make promises you can’t keep
You’ll give your mom a heart attack

I decided I shouldn’t be greedy
And not ask for too much
I’ll just concentrate on moving up levels
In the free app — Candy Crush
