Dear Mom and Dad,

Since the start of the school year I have wanted a laptop. I want a laptop because it is great way to do homework, edit my photography, and do all kinds of things! It is great for homework because if your teacher can't read it you can show her the typed version of the homework. Please try to realize why I need a laptop so bad by the end of the letter! I understand that you think I would not use my time wisely, however, I would only use it for homework and only when it is okay with you. When my friends are playing football outside I won't be sitting in my room playing a game. You explained to me it is not something a 12 year old needs, but, I know ten 12 year olds with laptops. I'm sure that they don't spend all day on their laptop and I won't either. You said that I could use the other laptop to do all sorts of things, but the other computer has all of Dad's work documents on the laptop. Also there is a sale for students getting a laptop, $949, dropping the price by $50. Thank you for considering getting me a laptop. You, the best parents in the world, will hopefully give me a very Merry Christmas.  Love,  Your son Morgan
