ok... my dad asked me what i wanted for my birthday, its next month. last year, i got an mp3 player, its not an i pod, its just a basic small mp3... well, like a month after my b day, i asked him if next year, if i could have an i pod. well, thats all i really want for my birthday this year, and i dont know if i should ask for it, because he'll just say" i gave you one last year, and you dont need 2"
so what do i do? should i tell him i want an i pod?

When I was a kid, I'd ask my dad for $5 for something. H'ed reach into his pocket and pull out a quarter.
Then I'd say, "But I need $5."
He'd pull out another quarter and say, "Well now you're 50 cents closer."
The point is, he wants you to be modest. If you want an IPOD then earn the money and buy one.
He's not supposed to give you a Cadillac when you want a car. He can give you a Yugo.
You make the best out of what you have. And ... don't push it in the dad department. He knows you want an IPOD, but he doesn't want to spoil you too much.
Besides. You already have an mp3 player, why would you need 2?

Yeah just tell him you want an ipod because its better than an mp3 player. Try to explain how much an ipod is better than an mp3. I think he'll get you it. Tell him the difference between the 2. Then maybe he'll consider getting you an ipod. Best of luck to you!!!

Just tell him. He will probably remember when he hears you day it again. Happy birthday.
