ohana That *must* be a long story, 'cause it still doesn't make perfect sense, but it's a little clearer than it was before.
Vacuum cleaner = cute name for laptop.
Reminds me of BIL. One Christmas his DW *really* wanted some diamond studs. BIL decides to play nasty trick. Takes their 4-year-old DS shopping with him for a DustBuster, telling him "We're getting Mommy some diamonds! See! This is the diamonds she really wants for Christmas! Now, you gotta promise not to tell her!!" Of course BIL realizes his DS has never once in his life kept a secret. DS whispers to his mother later that same evening that he and Daddy bought her diamonds today!! She's elated!
Fast-forward to Christmas morning. DS giddily takes his mom the box with "diamonds" in it. She opens the box and DS is like a kid on Christmas morning (no, really?!?) jumping up and down, just estatic..."See, Mommy! We got you diamonds! Look, it's your diamonds!!"

She is not sure what to say, but is now crushed. All this time she thought she was getting diamond earrings and her mean ol' DH had told their son that this *hand vac* was diamonds!!
After everything else was open, and she was sure there would be no earrings, BIL pulls an ornament out of the tree for her to open. Of course, there were diamond earrings in it. BUT, to this day, if you want the DustBuster in their house, you have to ask for DIAMONDS!!!!
