iPhone4

Were you one of the silly people up at midnight clicking away trying to order a new iPhone4 over the 'net? I was. It was silly.

Couldn't get through between midnight and 1am so gave up. Tried again at 6:30am and still couldn't get through. Finally managed to order one at 7:30am.

I was very surprised to see the expected delivery date of 2nd of August considering they stated the phones were already on back order. I think that means the paltry initial allocation from Apple had run out but we all know that was deliberate so they could say in the media that they'd sold out. No company in their right might would deliberately under cater with such a hot product. I presume Apple has plenty of iPhones tucked away and will delivery them rapidily once the hoo har settles down.

That's my hope at least.

I'll update you all as to how far past the 2nd of Aug it is when my phone actually arrives.

I'm also still waiting on my 2in1 microSIM which they promised by the 29th of July!

Oh well.

Is Sexy a Bad word/

My son came home the other day with a new phrase, 'Sexy man'. I can only assume he's heard one of his teachers at kindy talking about someone and decided to repeat it. That or perhaps from a song? I couldn't get it out of him (who can at 3?) but I guess it doesn't matter.

Now, I never wanted to be parent to use the phrase "you're too young" though by any stretch he is to be using that phrase. I would much prefer to give him a real reason as to why daddy thinks he shouldn't use that word. I feel I get a much better response from him when I give him a solid reason he can understand rather than a brush off.

The "you're too young" just seems like a cop  out or makes me feel like a lazy parent.

I guess my issue is trying to articulate to a 3yo what is bad about the term sexy, at least coming from a 3yo but I just couldn't do it on the spot.

I just feel my argument of 'just because' doesn't hold enough weight and as a parent I need to give solid reasons for 'no' if I want them to have any affect.

Do you have any ideas? Comment below on what you think.

Thanks.
A new Dad
