I'm working on convincing the man I married that having a 2,800 dinar gold set is an absolute necessity. This morning I tried on the new dress and shoes and paraded around the living room in them for him to see.
'That gold set I saw would be just perfect with this, wouldn't it?' I asked. (Using question tags is a popular trick that salespeople use because the other person will usually respond with a yes.)
'Hmmm...' he replied, eyes still focussed on Aljazeera.
I pretend I'm a model on the runway... stopping to do a spin every time I get in front of the TV, making sure to point out the slit that goes way up the back of the skirt and the fluid movement of the chiffon.
'You know that gold set I saw has emeralds in it. Emeralds would look perfect with this dress, wouldn't they?' I ask, making sure to use another question tag.
'It's 9am on a Friday morning. The shop isn't open yet.' was his reply. I smile and go change back into a house dress. He hasn't said 'No.'
The game has just begun... I hope I win. I will keep you updated.

It will not work... you have to capture your husband's attention... he was gazing at Al Jazeera and I don't think he was aware of his surrounding.
ReplyDeleteWhile not saying no doesn't mean it is a "Yes", he probably wanted to change subject by ending it!
You should try cooking him his favorite meal... and then when you sense he has enjoyed it, give him the news... and watch his reaction.
Cuisine Tactics... lol... the way to a mans heart is through his stomach... uuugh..
ReplyDeleteToday he is off at the farm dealing with Egyptian workers... Mesri = misery... he will come home in a bad mood... sigh...
Time to think about what to cook for lunch...uuugh

It sounds like a scene from "I LOVE LUCY" --- LOL
ReplyDeleteGOOD LUCK!
ReplyDeleteI can hear him saying after you buy it "I NEVER SAID YOU COULD BUY THAT!" These guys never listen!
First, you are SO funny! Just imagining the scene is hilarious (and sexy).
ReplyDeleteSecond, my personl advice (it would work for me) is the cuisine technique suggested. Maybe threatening not cooking these delicious meals!
Keep us updated.
LOL that was funny, even though I am not a gold lover but I know how essential it is for our Libyan weddings..:o(.. so GOOD LUCK again!
