Now THAT'S a master negotiator.
 

He'll be a successful attorney someday! (I think...)
 

"Well, if you must..."

Madam, it is you who is the master negotiator!
 

hahaha LOVE it. My younger one still has comments like that sometimes, and I love it.

My older son has become a master negotiator. I'm married to a lawyer and the daughter of a lawyer, I'm tired of arguing all damn day with everyone about everything!
 

Six. And that's my final offer.
 

Bwhahaha! Oops!
 

ha ha ha...Aw. He is too precious.
 

It's the new math system. He's just getting a head start...
 

what economic crisis?
 

I hope you didn't cave, let them get away with doing more than asked is setting a bad precedent. Hahaha!
 

My daughter used to do that all the time. I LOVED it!!
 

i like that you don't do the you have to eat it all thing. i was forced to eat my veges when i was little and it did not turn out well for me. i remember sitting at the table for hours and that horrible panicky feeling when the oven timer went off and i knew i was about to get a beating for not eating. i have been told by a cousin that i have even vomited and been forced to eat that (don't know if it's true or not, i hope not) the emotional damage was heavy. i can't even smell most veges without being physically sick even today. just watching somebody eat broccoli makes me gag.

so to make a looong comment short - good for you for not forcing the food issue. if parents don't make a big deal out of veges, eventually the kids will outgrown their dislikes and even love most foods.
 

I am acutally a little jealous of those supreme skills, ha ha.
 

I got my picky eaters to try salmon, which they had immediately declared disgusting and not to be considered. I simply served it. They ate it, or not, and for once I didn't argue with them, just, okay, as you like. Then, about a week later, I served salmon again (having happily in the meantime eaten the other leftovers for lunch while they were at school.) Mild grumbling ensued.

The third time, all four kids simply accepted it as oh, yeah, salmon, okay, and they ALL ate it! Without a single complaint! I was going silently, whoa, if I'd known it was THAT easy...!
 

That is cute!
 

Hah!!!
The negotiating thing is all in the girl's arena, hands down. We've got a chief negotiator here too.
 

Young Padawan has much to learn
 

hahahaha. i seriously want to hug your kid. i love him, i really do. i bet he is the CUTEST thing ever.

merry christmas, love.
i hope you have a good one!
 

I would like to trade my hershey's kisses for asparagus!

Wait ..... I think that was backwards ???

Happy Holidays!!!!!!!!!
 

that is SO funny because my now 5 year old does that...all the time. 5 is his favorite number for negotiations also. i'll say...we're leaving in 10 minutes, for example. and he'll reply...no mommy...we'll leave in 5.
have a happy and healthy holiday season!!

Has he been negotiating mortgages for the last couple of years?
 

That is great! I wish you and your family a happy holidays and a merry Christmas.
 

HAHA! Enjoy it until he gets a handle on his negotiation skills.
 

i love how he thinks... but that won't last long ;-)
 

ROFL!!!
 

Whatever you do, when the time comes, do NOT let him buy his own car, go with him...lol
 

ouch...he's got a lot of learning to do *s* my daughter does the same thing and it drives me buggy!
 

I would keep that going as long as possible ;)
