Of speakers and in ear earphones and I-P-O-D or something

Recently I had my son and his family over for dinner.
He has twin sons, both aged 12. Now anybody who is a grandfather of 12 year old in today's day and age
knows deep inside that a 12 year old chump knows more about the facts of life than him.
By facts of life I mean
1 How to work a cell-phone without reading the manual and make Grandpa look stupid in front of his
friends.
2 How to wear new high tech jeans that seem to hover just above the private parts.
I believe they are called all-rise or low-rise or whatever..........
[At this point one of my grandsons had something to say and I quote
"DAMN IT GRANDUDE!!!!!! ALL RISE IS NOT A PAIR OF JEANS BUT A SONG!!!!#$&&$@*$!!]
Point taken....
3 How to interrupt Grandpa while he is imparting sex-ed to their younger cousin...
4 How to correct Grandpa while he is imparting sex-ed to their younger cousin...
5 How to replace Grandpa's gold-rimmed glasses with girly pink ones without him knowing......
The list is non-exhaustive..........
Anyway, my son gifted me 2 high-fidelity [dunno what it means] speakers, an IPOD[which is
apparently a device the size of my wallet and can hold thousands of songs....wonder why the name though?]
and "in-ear earphones" of a very creative company.[At this point one of my grandsons had something to say and I quote
"DAMN IT GRANDY!!!!THE NAME OF THE COMPANY IS CREATIVE...AS IN A NOUN NOT AN ADJECTIVE!!!"]
Now, I know what you are thinking...........why would anyone name their company Creative????
I was astounded by the quality of the speakers they looked smashing. Would have been great if
i would have been able to work them though.The ipod was great and surprisingly after banging it a few times on my desk i
managed to play a few songs on it. The in-ear earphones sounded great the first few times I tried them
but after exposing them to my ear wax five times they started malfunctioning and
strangely as if expressing their feelings through song the ipod started playing obscene songs.
Technology reached a new high that day............
