Good evening swaggers,
Within a week I expect to be adding to this thread describing how much trouble I am in with the wife.
Like most guys, I enjoy watching a bit of tv or DVD's after long day working and do enjoy a show without too much interruption.
I have a wife who likes to comment on everything and anything regardless of the subject whilst I desire to watch a good movie in peace and quiet.
To add to this burden I have a 11 year old son who is constantly asking me for pocket money.
I thought about this hard, had a man to man chat with my 11 year old son on a business proposition and I think I have found a way to kill 2 birds with 1 stone.
This is for real.
The deal is I will pay my 11 year old son a weekly pocket money allowance, if he jumps in for me and answers all the questions my wife likes to bombard me with. By doing this I don't have to answer mindless boring question after question when watching TV, my son keeps her distracted while I zone out, and he gets pocket money for it. This deal actually started tonight and has been going well for the last 1.5 hours.
I expect sooner or later the wife will find out about this arrangement and my son and I will be in it up to our necks.
I look forward to that first expression on her face when she finds out ( always does), and once again I will be dirt.
Cheers
Campfire
