The Little Negotiator

Today Monkey was fortunate enough to be with us as we realized that the local Disney Store is going out of business and therefore, many of the toys there are on sale.  We ended up getting him the Handy Manny toolbox which he hasn’t let go of since (including during his nap).

Then just a little bit ago, as DH and Monkey were getting ready to go the grocery store …

DH:  We can’t take the toolbox to the grocery store.

Monkey:  TAKE toolbox to the grocery store!

DH:  No, how about we take ONE tool.

Monkey:  How about we take TWO tools?!

DH:  How about ONE tool.

Monkey:  How about TWO tools!

DH (using reverse psychology?):  How about we take TWO tools?

Monkey:  OKAY!

The boy drives a hard deal.
