There’s nothing quite like the feeling of heading home after a great night out unwinding with old friends.
On the bus ride home, I whip out my smartphone out of habit to pay my respects to Him (?).
I already have a chic “Black” retro console cherished in my drawer.
But on the screen, I saw its soulmate—a brilliant ‘Blue’—sparkling at me.
“Huh? Wouldn’t Blue look amazing sitting next to Black?”
Suddenly, an angel and a devil start fighting inside my head.
👼 Reason: “Hey, look. You already have the Black one at home. One is enough.”
😈 Emotion: “No way, this isn’t for playing; it’s for the collection. You can’t resist the Black & Blue combo.”
Maybe it was the booze talking? My fingers slipped. I’ll just add it to the cart. No, wait, I need to think about this month’s credit card bill. Delete. But hey, keeping it in the cart doesn’t cost anything, right? Add again.
I swear… I only put it in the cart. Then I got home and passed out.
Overnight, the retro consoles magically multiplied.
Is this a dream? Or real life?
“Wait, what happened?!”
This is definitely a supernatural phenomenon. Was my console at home lonely? Did it use some kind of magic to undergo ‘mitosis’ behind my back?
There is no way I hit the checkout button. I was just holding my phone…
“My left hand was just for support!”
It must have been perfect shooting form… I mean, checkout form. I absolutely never ordered this. (I’m dead serious).
Well, what’s done is done. I have a new family member now, so I have to embrace it.
Look at those brilliant colors… Man, my taste (or rather, my left hand’s taste) is impeccable. This color coordination is perfection.
Now, let’s get you to your new home.
I open my treasure chest (my drawer). Peace of mind finally arrives as the new friend settles in.
I’m afraid of what color will tempt my left hand next, but for today, I’m just going to enjoy this brilliance.
Today’s Lesson: Opening a shopping app while tipsy is riskier than leaving a steak unguarded around a dog.
(But I was happy, so it’s all good!)
