iron man

The following conversation ensued after I discovered the Iron Man Deluxe Helmet on Amazon.

moye: i really want one.
moye: it fits over your head and plays the audio.
B: hahaha
B: I’ll get it for you if you promise to wear it all the time.
moye: what’s all the time?
moye: like in the shower?
B: at least once a day.
moye: for how long?
B: and you have to put your arms out like you’re flying.
moye: yeah but for how long? like 5 minutes?
B: how long is the music?
moye: there’s no music. it’s just sounds.
B: oh, I thought it would be a theme song.
B: iiroooon maaaaan wooo wooo irrrroooon mannnn fly fly
moye: you never answered my question.
B: yeah, like 5 or 10 minutes.
B: depending on what scene you’re acting out.
moye: who says i’m acting out a scene!?
B: that’s part of the deal!
moye: what!? no you just said i had to wear it.
B: you have to whoosh around like you’re saving the day.
moye: no, i get to whoosh around like i’m drunk.
moye: this deal is OFF.
B: aw
moye: how sad. i really wanted it, too.

I guess you can’t have everything you want in life. And there’s no such thing as compromise.
