everything we want we have to make choices  this year we chose to get you things that  
42
403160
8360
06:51
could be useful and help you grow the computer was  a big investment and we thought it would make you
43
411520
10280
07:01
happy we know how much you wanted  that phone but we've already given  
44
421800

472320
7800
08:00
so much things that will help him  and make his life better he needs  
51
480120
6040
08:06
to learn that sometimes can't  get everything he wants right

08:12
away um yeah you're right  he's been given a lot this
53
492320
