IPod/family question? Help?

Ok, a long time ago my uncle bought me a ipod nano when I was in middle school.It fell in the water and broke on accident and I haven't told him about it. Im in high school now and my birthday is coming up and he's asking me what I want for my birthday and I want an ipod touch but he'll probably ask about my ipod nano? What do I tell him??? I don't want him to get ticked off?
