Want, Want, Want! Why I’m Taking a Cue From My Toddler

July 19, 2014 by meandmeg Leave a Comment

So, I want a new bag. More specifically I would like a tan colored bag that I can wear; lately I have really been wanting to be hands free.

After a little shopping around, I think I’ve found something I like. Now the problem is, how do I get it?

I don’t know how things run around your parts, but if I come home with a purchase over twenty dollars – I usually have some explaining to do. And unfortunately, said bag runs well over twenty dollars.

Don’t get me wrong, I am not complaining. I love my life; I just love buying clothes too, but my husband likes saving and worrying about tomorrow. He’s so silly.

I think I’ve come up with the perfect solution. I am going to take a page out of the kids’ book and ask for it five thousand times until Wizz has no option except to relent. It’s perfect.

I started the campaign yesterday, here is a little snippet of how I have been implementing my plan thus far:

Husband: “Hey babe, do you want me to grab Jax from the bus?”

Me: “Yeah, thanks. Oh and buy me that bag I want while you are at it. Thanks.”

Husband: “What time do you have to leave tonight?”

Me: “Well since you want me to go buy myself that bag, I need to leave around 5 pm.”

Me: “Can you grab a few things on your way home?”

Husband: “Sure, what do you need?”

Me: “Fresh rosemary, lemons, 2% milk, and that new bag I emailed you. Just pop over to the mall for that.”

I have high hopes for this plan. Kids are really successful with it, so I think I can harness some of their power and get what I want.

What do you think ladies? Do you employ any tactics to get what you want?

About meandmeg

Leigh and Meg are sisters with six kids between them. They love laughing, and dont care if you laugh at them or with them. They started their blog, Me & Meg, because they are excellent bad mothers, and want to brag about it.
 
Additionally, Meg cant remember anything as shes always partying and Leigh, well she has a pea size brain and cant retain much. Meg drives a van which is totally dodgy, while Leigh drives an SUV - so much better. Needless to say when they go out they take Leigh's car. Furthermore, Leigh is very excited to be part of ModernMom.com. She thinks she is that much closer to meeting her DWTS favourite, Maks.
 
Cheers.
