Stipulations.

The past few days, Taylor has been talking non-stop about the Apple TV.  

He's been talking about it for awhile...but it seemed like it was all he could talk about lately.  

Before leaving to take a test on Saturday morning (lame, right?) he asked me,

"How mad would you be if I came home with one?"

I was about to say, "I don't care at all."

But then I thought better and said, "Alright, let's make a deal.  You can get one if..."

And then I set a few stipulations.

I figured I might as well take advantage of the situation ;)

So, there were three stipulations:

1. He had to go grocery shopping with me that evening.

2. Anytime I cook, I'm free of doing dishes. And vice-versa.

3. I am allowed to take it away if he doesn't obey stipulation #1 or stipulation #2.

He fell for it like a little kid.

He quickly agreed. 

Then with a big smile on his face, he kissed me and skipped out the door.

We are now a proud owner.
