Spousal approval

I believe in including my wife in all decisions. Sometimes I just need advice. In this case, I knew my wife was dead set against me getting a motorcycle and I could not get one without her approval.

Now on several occasions she has expressed how concerned she is about the environment and how we need to leave a decent planet to our children. So I used how to get what my wife wants to get what I want.

One supper I said that I was concerned with the environment. I said that I had been doing some research and a vehicle for running to work and the store to save gas would help. My wife liked the idea. I told her I have been looking into electric vehicles and they seem pretty good. My wife asked how much. I said between 6 and 8 thousand. She said she could support me and we should think about buying that kind of car. I said the vehicles I was looking at weren't exactly cars.

She asked what I was thinking. I said an electric motorcycle. She said no. I said she had already agreed to an electric vehicle and that I should get to choose. She tried but couldn't argue, so we started talking about when the right time would be financially to buy one.

She later noted my sneakiness.
