I love how real your son is with you... It made me laugh a couple of times... Like when he would say, buy, buy, buy, or, "I love one and need one" or something like that! lol! I would say, yes, get him one, but 400$ dollars is I guess no laughing matter... I just love the realness!

He surely deserves it after that, right? Haha.
