My grandad is so awesome
We just had a fight about the iphone and how he believes I HAVE to have one. He said I should give my blackberry to my mum, and that he’ll buy me an iphone because its beautiful and I deserve it. He also said he’s going to buy himself one, but first he’s going to go to the library to learn how to use a computer. He’s the cutest little man in the world. Bless him.
