But in reality, it didn't take me seven years to learn. I've just perfected the art of getting my way.
Example: I told Kasey this evening that I want a new camera for Christmas, but I don't want to buy it myself. Because let's face it, playing Santa for yourself just isn't as much fun as when someone else does it for you.
Anyway, he made a pointed glance at my camera and asked, "Don't you already have a camera?"
"Yes, but I want a new one."
Then I went into detail about which one I wanted and why and how much it would cost Santa.
He just stared at me. At which point I pulled out the big guns.(no pun intended) "You have 8 guns that all do the same thing, so don't tell me that I can't have 2 cameras."
He turned around and walked out of the room because he knew all too well that I had won this discussion. A few minutes later he came back and said, "When we go to Costco tomorrow you can show me which one you want."
Yessss!! I love when I get my way!

I think it's pretty funny. I've never had to resort to such tactics.
Nice when husbands have expensive hobbies! Well I don't know if guns are expensive...but looks like it worked to get a new camera. Nice!
You are SUPER right! Playing Santa for yourself isn't always fun! But I'd rather play Santa for myself then get something I'll never use like a gumball machine (no joke, he really dropped the ball on that one) So the art of hint dropping is a GREAT gift to employ! I have 2 cameras, and 2 computers, and 2 personalities, all the good stuff comes in twos MWAHAHAHAHA!
You go girl!!!!
Ha ha. Boys and guns!
