My brother is getting married here in a couple of weeks. I have been telling my husband since the first of the year that he needs new dress clothes for the wedding. Knowing this was going to be a challenge for me I started early with the little innuendos. The thought/action was planted in his head almost weekly. I attempted several trips with him to the stores but it always ended with him throwing a hissy fit (grown man version). I put my thinking hat on to try a different approach. Maybe a compromise?? So i offered if he got nice new dress pants and a great shirt he would not have to wear a tie. Now mind you my husband is a sweatshirt, jeans and baseball cap kind of guy. He hates to dress up let alone wear a tie. God forbid he might look good. Ha!
Well crunch time was happening here. We were getting down to 2 weeks till wedding. I told him we were going shopping on Sunday. He started with little excuses making up crap he had to do. I said no. It needs to be done. We are not leaving the store with out some new clothes. It did not look like we were leaving the house either. Deja Vu was happening all over again. We are going on 12 years of marriage and believe me this little dance we were doing was not the first time. Than the light bulb went off in my head. Ice cream!! He loves ice cream. He was acting like a kid so I will treat him like a kid.
In the end I got my way and he got his ice cream. He is going to look so handsome in his new clothes. (I just need to remember to use the ice cream thing a little sooner but to not overuse it. He may catch on.)
