My entitled Aunt and Uncle freak out when my parents say they're going to buy him a tablet to use for university,

0:06.2

claiming that it would be a massive waste of money and that my brother would never use it for its intended purpose.

0:11.6

And after dealing with this level of scrutiny and judgment,

0:14.5

my family was utterly blown away when we found out that my uncle and aunt had not one but

0:19.7

two iPads in their possession, resulting in my mother shutting them down in a

0:23.9

glorious fashion. Here's what happened. Okay so this happened back in 2011. My uncle

0:28.9

who's my mom's brother and his wife were always the kind of people who would complain about anything that people would do with their life.

0:35.6

And back in 2011, my brother was graduating high school and was about to start university.

0:40.9

By that time, my parents were deciding if they should buy him an iPad so he wouldn't have to carry heavy books around or if he needed to take pictures of the board.

0:49.0

Maybe he could use the iPad and browse the information while studying or he could use the iPad instead of a computer.

My dad at the time told my uncle about his predicament because he had never used an iPad while he studied and he didn't want to waste a couple hundred dollars just for it to be treated like a toy or for it to not even be used at all.

1:11.0

My uncle and aunt immediately flipped over and started saying that buying an iPad

1:15.3

or any kind of tablet was a waste of money and that my brother wouldn't even use it.

1:19.7

Well, my brother was upset. He wanted his iPad. He thought that carrying an iPad and a notebook around was better than carrying a bunch of books, a calculator, many notebooks, and sometimes a laptop around.

1:31.0

Anyways, a couple of months passed and we are in November.

1:33.8

My brother started university in September, and if this is relevant, in my country, unless the

1:38.6

university is in another state, people usually stay with their parents while they study.

1:43.0

In November, we went to my uncle and aunt's apartment to celebrate my cousin's birthday,

1:47.0

and at that moment it was her second birthday.

1:50.0

My cousin is about to get fussy until my uncle gets a tablet out of nowhere and gives it to her.
