That'll Cost You One Penny


As Anders and Kuba were going to sleep last night Anders reached across and took a hold of Kuba's hand.  Anders is and has been a hand holder since he was a baby.  Kuba immediately took his hand away.  Anders said to Kuba  "I just want to hold your hand."  Kuba said "That'll cost you one penny then."  Anders said, "No, I don't want to pay you a penny to hold your hand."  Kuba  "Then it'll cost you $1.00.  It's up to you - pay me one penny and hold my hand, or don't hold my hand and pay me one dollar."   Smart kid, and great negotiator.   Anders in the end agreed to pay the penny and did get to hold Kuba's hand as they fell asleep.  Yet another win win in the negotiating life of my boys.
