The conversation went like this:

“I really want a new iPod.”

“But you have an iPhone.”

“But I don’t want to drain my battery all the time.”

“Well get one.”

“I want an iPod shuffle.”

“So get one.”

“I want one of the old school ones, though, that had the click buttons. I don’t like the new ones without the click buttons.” (I’ve been known to lose headphones. And if you don’t have fancy headphones, it appears you cannot use the new one…shame.)

“So get one.”

“But I don’t need one. I shouldn’t spend the money.”

So Jeff got me two, instead. Used and new, one that might work, one that will work. (Turns out, they both work. This girl just became the proud owner of two patriotic second generation iPods.)

Meet my new iPod(s). There names are: “she paints me blue” and “she’s a red star.”

Bonus points if you can name the songs and artists of said names.

(Thank you Jeff, for delightful options and a new bff at the gym and in the car.)
