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
