Two Little Ladies Get Their First Apple iTouch For Christmas 2008

[trolldad4president]

@D4rkSilhouette I got a fucking toy hotwheels car. I didn't get a game system until age 11

[MissMiniature]

@theweeegeeee No, I'm pretty sure i'm not, I got one for passing my GCSE's I think thats reason enough,.

[D4rkSilhouette]

Guess what I got for Christmas at their age? A Nintendo 64 game and clothes, and I was more than thankful for that. Spoiling kids is just pathetic.

[janetsosweet1974]

thats impressive they can pay there own bills wait how old are they now?

[MrMonster00001]

I cant wait 4 christmas because this year if imm good enough I will get an ipod touch! I ♥ ipod touches

[MrMonster00001]

I cant wait 4 christmas because this year if imm good enough I will get an ipod touch! I <3 ipod touches

[mulacmarketers]

Through the years, the girls have continued to read the comments here and marvel at the mentality of some who can't even communicate without profanity and that's been perhaps a better "learning" experience than even the iTouch itself. In the end - our daughters will continue to achieve greatness because - no one has ever told them they CAN'T! Thank you to all who get this and have left positive comments - I'm sure you've also made a difference in a child's life!

[TheWeeegeeee]

@mulacmarketers Anyone who left positive comments on this video needs their heads checked. Ok so first of all its not call an Itouch. Its an Ipod touch. Why would you buy something you don't even know how to use or even spell correctly for that matter?

Also no little kid needs expensive electronics, they break them and take them to school where they are broken or stolen, and have you even begun to think about the true meaning of christmas? or are you still all about the commercialization of it

[mulacmarketers]

Our youngest has gone on to win talent shows in singing and dance, and will be singing God Bless The USA at a Thanksgiving benefit dinner for a little girl who died unexpectedly when she was about the age of our oldest daughter in this video. The oldest won division champion ribbons at the fair this year for her photography and is eying a new Nikon digital camera with replaceable lens that has so many buttons, I don't even know which to push... (cont)

[mulacmarketers]

UPDATE FROM MOM: Wow - I can't believe 3 years have gone by since this video was taken. The girls have grown into mature young ladies, and despite the naysayers - NEVER lost or broke these original iTouches and have them to this day along with our older daughter who has since got an iPhone as well with her own money this time! Both have their own blogs, products and now make enough monthly to cover their own iPhone bills. (cont...)

[TheHuskeyaTTack]

ok i thought it was lipstick when i didnt use sound now that i did i mean card

[TheHuskeyaTTack]

i like the smallest one because after seeing her sister get a ipod she got more exsited about her lipbalm/chapstick/lipstick.

[destineystar3]

they deserve them! they are sooo sweet! (: aww. ♥

[clp1394]

@lettuce2017 eh dumbass they don't make a 36 gig it's 32 get your shit together before you try 2 look bad

[benitezwendy23]

wow the lil girl wif the hannah mmontannah pjs thought she didnt get an iphone lol

[MegaTutorialTV101]

Guys just shut the fuck up, ya their iPods who cares if they are too young they are two happy and healthy kids that are getting iPods. There are thousands that do this I'm 14 and already have had 4 itouches, 2 nanos, and I'm on my 2nd iPhone I payed for all of them.

[randomdisastertd]

Get a life it's not up for debate. They got iPods... Ok.. If they have money enough to do it, do it. Jesus Christ calm your nuts save your money and maybe you can buy your own one day and quit hatin so damn hard.

[blackhygene]

i bet there broken already lol

[12345ilovecandy]

wtf lettuce2017 that is like 3 years ago who gives a shit what you got you fuckin liar

[kissandtellist]

a little to young for those i'm still 11 and don't have one but i'm getting it for christmas

[pikach55]

IPOD TOUCH LADY!!!! NOT ITOUCH!!!! They are so ungrateful i would stab myself from excitement if i got one which i probably will so goodbye world

[ToriiKaiSugiyama]

Sorry, little shitty kids don't deserve an iTouch, the can't even comprehend what it is

[lati1040]

i dont have a problem with little kids getting phones or anything but you should of given them barbies and doll houses not iphones because wat r they going to want when they re teenagers

[iTzTrooper]

I have to agree with nickjluva97. Although, they are children and getting an electronic like that makes me wonder what they will get in the future. I do note that we are in an era with many electronics so when I was that age; I expected a couple of toys not an electronic device like this.

[shetchler]

what the heak you gave your kids a ipod touch thet are spoiled rotten they don't know how to do it gosh you are sick

[fr0sth4x0r]

@shetchler looks like you're upset you didn't get an ipod touch for christmas.

[Saraha1998]

Omg guys! Seriously is it ur choice what their parents want to give them? Stop acting like that! Like you haven't got something really exciting when u were little so shut the crap up and get over it! No one cares about ur opinion if ur gonna be rude!

[PRETTYLITTLELIARFAN2]

even though there really young it really matters if there really smart if they can understand it and can learn from that device

[alexatocool117]

lol they must be rich to get itouches at that age

[NKProductions100]

aww soo cute enjoy!!! :D merry christmas...your never to young for an itouch! xx

[kirsten275]

IM SOOO JALOUS OF YOU GUYS :'(

[kirsten275]

OMG I WISH I GET ONE FOR THIS CHRISTMAS I REALLY WANT ONE SOOOOOOO BAD I GET SO EXCITED WHEN I THINK IMA GET ONE LOL IM 12 AND MY BROTHER HAS ONE BUT OMG I WANT ONE SOOOOOOOOOOOOO BBBBAAAAAADDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD­DDD

[superblara]

well my opinion is that yes once you give 8 and under bad choice cuz they los it break it damage and other stuff my sister had a shuffle lost it i nano with camera lost it and the ds i lost all of these things thats why we should not give kids 8 and under eletronics like this

[mirdyn45]

iPod touch et non iTouch :@

[azone221]

NOT ITOUCH ITS IPOD TOUCH

[webcamfan2569]

@azone221 SAME THING ITOUCH IS SHORTENED FOR IPOD TOUCH?!

[SOLE1PRODUCTIONS]

they are gonna be hot when there older.

[emmj88forever1]

I think they are a bit young to get those but whatever it's not my call to make

[emmj88forever1]

they are a little young to have an ipod touch but whatever its not my call to make

[blackphone101]

Wow these little girls are like 5!!! I don't even think they will no how to use it, the one on the right couldent even open the damn bag!!! Woooowwwww an iPhone?? Ahahh brat..

[Dm0ney831]

ok there fucking seven these comments really pissin me off ok if u were seven and got somthin good would u like assholes saying shit like this to u..excuse my languge but u guys need to get a lifeeeeee..... and your daughters r havin a good time like me and my itouch...HATERZZZZZZ

[enjoiyourenjoideck]

@Dm0ney831 fuk u.......excuse my language

[ButteryAssToast]

wow so spoilt, how can she know what an iphone is but not paint? gen z have ruined brains????

[AmongTheParonormal]

OMG!!!!!! Are you kidding me!!!!!!!!!! Why couldn't you just get them a doll house or something!!!!!!! The one in the purple is like 4!!!! And the other is probably 7!!!!!!!!! That is beyond outrageous that is unbelievably stupid and mindless!!!!!

[christianx478]

wut do these kids need with this?? they r way to young to even have like an mp3 or ipod shuffle let alone an itouch that's like twice the price of an mp3 or ipod shuffle. I have wanted one for so long(still don't have one) and these little girls get one! what would they use with it.. acutally do the ystill use it? I think no. Such a waste of money. They either broke it or hardly ever use it. That's just my opinion

[oliviaax81]

BLESSS YOU.

[XXxXMCR4EVAXxXX]

aww bless them :)

[3clubkinz3]

i understand the girl with the pink getting it but the other one seems to young

just sayin

[Lilouch12]

um ok ik i shouldnt judge your parenting but getting your kids something THAT EXSPENSIVE might make them think they can get anything later in life :/

[mike2moto]

ok other comments VVvVVvVvvvVVVvVVvVv you guys should be happy for them instead of "oh wow im 16 and saving up for one this is sooo unfair"

[suediederich]

I LOVE IT!!! Congratulations, not only on having two beautiful, intelligent and creative children, but also for showing what love, attention and commitment can do for everybody!

And how wonderful of you to share your family's Christmas joy and fun with all of us, too!

BTW - we home-school our grand-daughters - I applaud your commitment and your success in all areas!

Many, many blessings -

Sue

[ekhope]

they r to young to have that

[nethdaniel552]

lol wen she said bags the first time i laughed

[volunteermm]

Dear hearts. You only have to consider the source of those comments to be able to put them in perspective. I know many home schooled children who are the envy of their peers. I was educated in the 50's and 60's and would not trade my education for one of today's for anything.

Has Marina's "Color Pick" video really been seen 131,000+ times? That is absolutely amazing. Keep up that kind of success, it seems like the right thing to do.

[nethdaniel552]

wow like these kids know how to work the shit

[jdnamb]

@nethdaniel552

Well, "these kids"have their own internet business. When it comes to working the equipment (much better term,don't you think), they maybe could give you a run for your money. What were you doing at their age?

[pianoalysse1]

Shutup,be nice you fool

[TheGazzMan01]

Hi Steph, Greg & girls. I love the joy in this video. Cherish it while you still can. They grow up way too fast. I remember those times. Both my kids are now adults.

Incidentally, my son asked his girlfirend to marry him this Christmas morning and she said yes. So, it's a double celebration today for us.

Merry Christmas to you all. Lovely video!

Gary Simpson

PS: Pay NO attention to those sad, misguided fools below. Their life manifests the way they think. Very sad individuals indeed

[dbaMarketingMethods]

Thanks for the Christmas cheer! I liked 'hearing' your video most. I saw it last week. I'm sure you've had fun learning about all the ipod features, too. I don't get all the 'controversy'! Not to worry... when kids or adults are anti-spirited about your gifts, ages, or anything else... Your parents are a special pair. You only have one night left now until this year's surprise and I bet it's good... like the two of you! Enjoy! Go to bed early and sleep in! Merry Christmas! --- Michele in FL

[Hackbridge1963]

I can't see the problem myself. Technology should be taught to children in school, but it isn't. When children reach a certain age and they don't know much about technology, who will they blame? The younger children get to know about technology the better I say.

Perhaps what is upsetting people a lot is that they can't afford to buy these items? If you know Stephanie and Greg, actually work for their money and I wish I was like them.

[jcorona7]

Ah yes! The little ones are so precious and priceless. We can learn so much from children as far as boldness, dreams, etc. Unfortunately, most grown ups decided to let the system and society turn them into the "living dead" with only hope of despair.

Take care & God Bless,

Lohn Corona

[ginadcarr]

Thanks for sharing. I think it is great that you are teaching your children such wonderful life skills at an early age.

Yes, the life of an IMer is challenging at best.  Thanks for the continued encouragement and support.

Gina

[ltate1959]

I don't really understand some of the comments. The girls looked excited. Christmas "squeals". It's been a long time. I hope over the year they had fun and learned something along the way.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Loralyn Tate

[bizopps]

Hi Stephanie, Greg & the girls,

Merry Christmas!! Outstanding!!

Imagine where we would be today if our parents had taught us "Wealth Education" instead of "Go to school, get a job" which is what I was taught. I'm sure your daughters got other gifts such as toys. People should see that this is just a short video of just one of the valuable "teaching tools" that will help them achieve their dreams.

Thank you for sharing and keep up the great help & support that you give to us.

[James1Howard]

Wow, great presents. I have to say looking through some of the comments I see a lot of envy more than anything else.

We have just bought our 6 year old a laptop for her birthday. Hell I don't even have one, but it is for her to do her maths and english on as she enjoys doing it on the pc. She also likes playing games on it. This is something she can and does learn on as your daughters will from the gifts.

[No1oldcoot]

I am really getting old!

I have always thought Christmas was a time for gifts and joy.

I viewed the video and thought "children getting what they wanted for Christmas". How sad were the comments.

I learned a long, long time ago that gifts at Christmas were unique. They were a representation of the generosity and care of the giver.

I see two children receiving very welcome gifts - others see tools(?), miniature entrepreneurs(?) and business builders(?).

I hope I saw the truth of the matter.

[rsonline50]

Thanks for sharing this video. It's so great to see that look of surprise and amazement in kids eyes.

Wishing you a very Merry Christmas and a very prosperous New Year. Love your newsletters - keep them coming

[geneii2]

One BIG difference the naysayers don't see is these girls are home schooled. Homeschoolers are sometimes light years ahead of others. I never would have had a computer when I did except we were homeschooling our son. Back then people woild have said he was "not ready" for that. Bottom Line: I think Stephanie and Greg are more than capable of teaching their girls how to use these tools. Seems a lotof the negative comments are from jealous people.

Geneii2

[steveparady]

Kids live in different world than the one we grew up in. I'm sure by now they could teach me how to use an Ipod Touch! (I have no idea!)

[ADDIElilqueenie]

Hi Stephanie,

As someone who has watched you go from a struggling marketer to a successful one over the past few years, I think it is brilliant that you are educating the girls this young to be miniature entrepraneurs. I read your email today and was very touched . It is so true that others around us have no clue as to our committment to online marketing.

I for one am honored to call you "Friend"!

Thanks and a Merry Christmas to you, Greg, and the girls!!

Best,

Adrienne Lee/ADDIE

[hartmannfranziska]

Thank you for the share of this joy of your daughters. I wish you and your family happy holidays and that this happy moments are enough to cover the rest of the year. It's also as IMer not always easy to take care for both sites af the life.

[keltrehai]

I find it fabulous that you are teaching your daughters how to be creative and build a business from such a young age!! YAY to you and YAY to them - way to go!

[chugeniv]

It's not about the gift - It's about the Joy We Bring To Each Other!

* The Best Of The Season To All *

[mulacmarketers]

From Marina - I think a lot of the comments here show that age has nothing to do with maturity!

[netkickstart]

So true! And how ironic, apparently you're too young for the iTouch but not for being cursed at?! Huh?

Anyway, I hope you all have just as joyful a Christmas this year as was captured in that moment.

[netkickstart]

@netkickstart My "So true!" was in response to Malina's comment about age and maturity.

[netkickstart]

@netkickstart Oops, I meant Marina. Time for me to walk away from the computer. LOL.

[Saraha1998]

@mulacmarketers This video was really cute I'm getting one soon :)

[MimiSkitty]

@mulacmarketers YOU WIN!

[mulacmarketers]

I continue to be amazed at the reactions received here, but perhaps more astounding is that so many people just don't "get it!" My husband and I believe that if you put tools for success (physical AND emotional) into a child's hands they rise to the occasion and our daughters are living proof. This gift has proven to be an excellent learning tool as well as provided hours of age appropriate entertainment too. It's a shame and a little scary people have such little faith in our youth today.

[MimiSkitty]

@mulacmarketers I think your daughters were old enough here to be able to understand. I think it all depends on how you raise your kids. But I do thing a kid that's 3 years old is a LITTLE too young. ^^; I've seen a few of those on Youtube. Hahah.

[MimiSkitty]

@mulacmarketers ACTUALLY, after watching another clip on here, I have to say that I change my mind. :)

Any kid can use these as long as the parents teach them well.

[TheNMTD]

@mulacmarketers there is no such thing as a iTouch its iPod TOUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[magicman726]

@mulacmarketers awwwwwwwww there are so cut i wish i had an itouch for christmas lucky hahahahahaha lol

[MissMiniature]

@magicman726 I got one for just wanting one. :) its just an Ipod, ask ur parents for one :L

[TheWeeegeeee]

@MissMiniature You're everything thats wrong with this world today. You think that you can get whatever you want just by asking for it, no discipline or work needed to earn it. You're fucked up kid and I guarantee one day you're gonna be livin on the streets with a homeless do you found and in order to survive you're gonna have to stab the dog to death, skin it for warmth and eat its insides so you don't starve. This happen

s to exactly 98 percent of people who get whatever they want.

[fredrules10]

they get iphons or ipod totch and there like 4 yr old and ones like 8 im 11 and and i dont have a ipod or i $hit @ssmunch

[ZoZBabyFB]

giving 4 yr oldz iphones?

[Hackbridge1963]

@ZoZBabyFB It is a GIFT? People get them.

[first2middle]

im not tryin to be rude but how old r they???????????

[HYD134]

Im jealous. So very, very jealous.

haha lol. good for them :)

[102shauna]

WTF they got iphones there not even 8 yet and there getting those.

[Americanboy09]

everybody who is writing negative comments should just shut the fuck up .yall a bunch of hating ass ppl....so wat if there mom bought them ipod touches ....its there mom and she choose to buy it for them WITH HER MONEY!!!....if yall so mad then go buy one and be happy .............yall fuckers digust me man .....................

[pepper12343]

what! You have twitter, and what about the games!!!!!!! DO U EVEN PLAY GAMES ON THEIR PLEASE TELL ME YOU DO!!!! OR ELSE WHY WOULD YOU GET THAT!!! How do you even understand what tracking sales is? And why do u need money, my parents said they will buy me anything i want until i understood how to use money better, because I used to have trouble with math. And so when I was 9 I started to use my own money.

[nickjluva97]

watch how these little douchebags get like a mac next year!!!! AND BY THE WAY THE ONLY REASON THESE IDIOTIC PARENTS UPLOADED THIS WAS TO BRAG! "oooo looky i got my kid an itouch what did u get urs a barbie dreamhouse"

[TheRonald1000]

Those ipods are such great learning tools! I have one and it has definetly broadened my knowledge! Hope you guys have fun!

[cancungirl08]

Who is stupid enough to get their kids who aren't even 8 yet ipod touches....they aren't even going to know how to use them!!!!spoiled brats

[depticonfan321]

spoiled little bitches what they ganna use it for their asses.

[nickjluva97]

omg ARE YOU PARENTS SERIOUS???? TENNAGERS ARE EXCITED TO GET AN ITOUCH ! HOW OLD ARE THEY 5? I REALLY CANT BELIEVE THIS WHEN THEY GET OLDER IF U KEEP GIVING THEM THESE THINGS THEY WILL BE SPOILED BRATS HOW THE HELL DO THEY EVEN KNOW WHAT AN ITOUCH IS BUT REALL IM 12 AND IM GETTING 1 THIS CHRISTMAS THEY ARE LIKE 5!! I AM ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTED REPLY I WANT TO HEAR UR OPINION !

[mulacmarketers]

From Marina - I'm the older sister (7) in the video. My mom and dad have taught my sister and me that there is nothing we can't accomplish and we value and appreciate everything we earn. I track my online sales on my iTouch, build my twitter followers, and make money online selling my own inspirational audios. Just think what I might accomplish by the time I am 10!

[nickjluva97]

really? really ? who do u think ur fooling pretending to be a 7 year old that actually KNOWS the meaning of the words that you used and what kind of 7 year old can make money online ! personally thats probably illegal!

[ClaireF93]

haha!! ya dude come off it like, i' m 16 and saving up to buy one!! ughhhhh this is irritating!

[VahDhaKidd]

OK Marina's MOn Shut The FUCK up spoling your kids like that they didnt even know wtf that contraption is .

[Dm0ney831]

@mulacmarketers do yo thing and be a legit wooommenn...

[qwerty123jamie]

@mulacmarketers your 9 and you have a freakin twitter and ssales?! what r u?

[lettuce2017]

@mulacmarketers first of all these words are not from a (7) year old ur probally the stupid dad or mom who decided to buy them i pods. second of all the stupid story about them tracking shiet don't mean they can do more than an average person ad all that sounds like u made it up.and i hope there i pod get destroyed by tomarow!!!!!! (FYI IM NOT JELOUSE CUZ I GOT THE NEW I POD TOUCH 4G 36GB AND IM ONLY 11)AND U DON'T SEE ME BRAGGING ABOUT IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!

[Hackbridge1963]

@nickjluva97 People are entitled to give exactly what they want to their OWN children! If your parents can afford an iTouch or iPhone, that would be brilliant ( I can't afford one myself) but I ain't bitching about anybody else getting one. Have a great Christ mas.

[enjoiyourenjoideck]

@nickjluva97 i am also disgusted !!!!!!! those spoiled son of a bitches !!!!!! i bet they broke it the next day

[SOLE1PRODUCTIONS]

@nickjluva97 honestly dude at the age of 12 you should be buying ur own, get a job make money and you can afford an ipod touch. In six grade i bought my own macbook and printer is 7th grade i bought my ipod touch in 8th i bought my mom and dad an ipod touch in 9th grade i bought my PS3 and in 10th grade I just bought the iphone 4. You my friend are in the stage where you are becoming a young adult and are still be spoiled. Get a job for christ sake. I made $240 at the age of 12.

[nickjluva97]

@SOLE1PRODUCTIONS actually i just bought myself my own macbook pro and im in seventh grade so yes i do know how to earn and spend money so thank you

[nickjluva97]

@SOLE1PRODUCTIONS btw a job at 12? yea ok id like to see that happen im 13 and i still cant find a job and no my parents DONT spoil me they give me stuff on holidays thats it. So please dont say im spoiled until u get to know me i do a hell of a lot and dont get payed for it all day every day i help my cripled mother. and no im not a dude im actually a girl : )

[SOLE1PRODUCTIONS]

@nickjluva97 just because youre a girl doesnt mean im going to go soft. you need to show respect to others. and quite frankly, ure just jealous of these girls. and besides you get things on christmas, so do these girls. Its the same thing except this family has money.

And im not surprised you have no job. I was seeking someone to higher, it wouldnt be you lol i wouldnt even bat an eye.

[SOLE1PRODUCTIONS]

@nickjluva97 lastly yes i do have a job. I moved to Japan from canada at the age of 8 when I reached 12 I got two english classes, a foreigner teaching english in japan is on high demand, and their is no restriction in age because its private (i go to their houses)

the first class I teach is a college student and the second is 6 second grade kids... 4 boys and 2 girls. so please dont assume "until u get to know me." as you would say

[lila120424]

@nickjluva97 ur just jealous because u didn't get an ipod touch when u were in the same age as them so just *STFU* =P

[nickjluva97]

@lila120424 IT WASNT EVEN INVENTED WHEN I WAS 5. THEY DIDNT EVEN KNOW HOW TO OPEN THE CASE .There's yours and the parents proof about "MATURITY" . When they reach at LEAST 5th grade talk to me then.

[lila120424]

@nickjluva97 too bad i cant talk too u when they're in gr5 i can only chat c|:

[nickjluva97]

@lila120424 oo and by the way arent they SOOO mature with their PRINCESS pajamas??!??

[webkinzlover143]

Thats stupid there have phones at like 4 NO FAIR I DONT HAVE A PHONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol

[GamerzUtube]

how would they use it if they cant even open the case?

[1love2008falife]

I love your little girls they just made my day..especially 2:44-2:50 played over and over is hullarious...lol...phone ha

[cardnal008]

way to young

[ThePinkKiwi]

They are way to young to have an itouch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! nice(sarcasm)

[mulacmarketers]

Well, they've taught me more about how to use my iPhone than I've taught them...

But since they got theirs, they've tracked stars as part of their homeschooling astrology lessons, built monetized Twitter accounts, and read books on the kindle app. Not to mention they track sales of their own online products at Enlightened Children Series ...

So our real reaction is that be it 8 or 80 - age is no barrier unless someone else makes it so.

[ashkanrabbani]

you are so lucky i cant even get one i am 14 years old i hope you enjoy your i touches

[LeToaste]

cute ;) Im getting one either tomorrow or after tomorrow. Hope your girls have fun :)

[xoxoLexiLuv]

[Sparky12311]
