“You’re not having any more Angry Birds trainers – they fall apart too easily.” I said.
“Okay.” He said.
“What about these ones – I can practice tying my laces?” He said.
“Okay.” I said.

Are you sure?

D: [singing]
Hey, I just met you
And this is crazy
But here’s my number
So call me maybe?
And all the other boys
Try to chase me – not ‘cake’ me, not splat some cake in her face!
Me: We can play that song in the car if you like – I downloaded it.
D: What’s ‘downloaded’?
Me: On the Internet. You click on a file that you want, like this song, and then it sends that file to your computer or phone – after you’ve paid for it.
D: How can you pay for it on your phone? Is there a little hole where you can put your money in?
Me: No. You know what banks are – where people keep their money?
D: Yes.
Me: Well, after you’ve clicked on the things you want to buy, the website says “We’re going to take this much money out of your bank account – is that OK?” And then you say “yes” and you’ve bought it.
D: How can they know that you’ve said “yes” – can they hear you?
Me: No – it’s a button that you click on – “yes” or “no”.
D: I’ve got that on my iPad [innotab]!!! Sometimes, when I ask for a new page it says “Are you sure? If you have a new page you will lose your art.” And I press on “yes”, because I think it’s really rubbish. Not all the time though. Same sort of message though, isn’t it? Lots of things use it.
Me: Yes – it’s an “are you sure?” question.
