Sometimes money isn’t a big enough currency. Cold hard cash might be nice, but it’s not what this Mama really wants!
After a night with precious little sleep I will trade you just about whatever you want for a Grande Chi Tea Latte.
Hubby, he can name his price for a back rub with no strings.
Kids want extra time at the computer? They “pay” for it by being quiet.
He’s willing to take the kids to the Dentist so I don’t have to. Now I owe him the world. (I’m ridiculously scared of that creep in the white mask Dentist guy)
If Hubby needs a big favour from me he knows what tricks to try; dangle a love letter in front of me, build a big fire in the fireplace, sit and chat about vacation plans for the future, dream with me about all that is to come…..I’m freakin putty in his hands. Pathetic.
Does this mean my currency is coffee, backrubs, quiet time and love letters? Uh, Yep, all that and chocolate.
You want to negotiate with me?
Turns out it’s pretty easy, I can be bought.

Consider yourself blessed, after twenty years together my husband is still clueless about the little things I like. The upside? He buys me some pretty fantastic gifts thinking that’ll make me happy when a Mars Bar will sometimes do… 😉

I hear that, my friend. Totally and 100% hear you!
And for a chai tea latte, well, there isn’t much I wouldn’t do! Cheers!

I’m with you – I can be bought too. And it’s usually the little things.
Foursons says

DH and I negotiate all the time..”Oh you want to go skiing with your friends? Well I will see your ski trip and raise you a Spa weekend for me…”
Norms says
Love the honesty!! Truths all around! I’m the same way. 🙂 Twenty bucks in a card is great, twenty bucks @ starbucks for coffee makes you a GOD/GODDESS in my book. 🙂

Teri M says
