FLAT SCREEN

Grandpa and Nana Roderick came up today from Carlsbad to take Hope shopping for her birthday. After the shopping trip they came back to the house for a short visit and chat.

Scott and his dad were talking about purchasing a new flat screen and the conversation went something like this:

Grandpa: We're looking into getting a new flat screen for the loft.

Scott: Great . . . what are you looking for?

Grandpa: Maybe a Sony or Vizio. Costco and Best Buy have good prices.

Scott: You know that you only get the screen for those prices . . . you'll have to buy the extras.

Grandpa: What extras?

Scott: Brackets, cable, speakers.

Grandpa: Brackets and cable we already have.

Scott: How about speakers?

Grandpa: It comes with everything else we need.

Scott: Check on that . . . I think you have to buy speakers separate.

Grandpa: What? We have everything in the flat screen package.

Scott: Dad, I think you have to buy speakers in a different package, a sound system.

Grandpa: It's with the flat screen.

Scott: Just check on speakers, you know sound.

Grandpa: I'll talk to the salesman about other stuff . . . I think it's all with the package.

Scott: Yea, yea . . . just check.

I don't know why they need speakers. Grandpas hearing aid is always turned off when he comes to visit us.
