i want a computer for christmas but i don't know how to ask

[Philly_McGee]

I have to share a computer with my brothers, so I get like no time on the computer. I have tried asking my mom, but she said no. I think my grandparents would buy me one, but how do I ask?

When you're at their house and sitting at the table, perhaps bring up stuff you learned about computers in school, and then say "It'd be so cool to have one".

As I said to my kids for major purchases:
"You come up with 1/2 the money, I'll put up the other 1/2."

Mum whenever I go to use the computer Its full of porn - its so distracting.
Your Brothers will then be banned from the computer and it will be all yours.
Your brothers will then beat you up for being a tell tail.

Money does not grow on trees there may be many reasons you may only have 1 computer to share with your brothers
To try and undermine your parents if so devious. ;P
