Desperation

Something I desperately wanted when I was younger was a Nintendo DS. I was  dying to get one of them into my hands and would do anything to do so. I asked my mom for one every single Christmas, literally. It was almost as if I fell in love with it the first time it came out, and I automatically wanted one. My cousins and I used to compete on who had the coolest and newest things, so when they got one I wanted it even more. At first, my mom was hesitant about getting me this gift because of the chat rooms it has. However, I was ruthless and pressed her everyday to get me one. Her motherly ways were no match for my many acts of desperation. I left notes all over the house, on her mirrors, and even in her car. Once I hid a picture cut out of a Best Buy ad on her toothbrush. Eventually, she became fed up with my ways and gave into my burning need for the Nintendo DS. Therefore, that Christmas I unwrapped a new pink Nintendo DS, and the wait was finally over.
