Do You Have a Bridge to Sell Me?
// 12.20.06 // Filed under: My Daughter, My Son, Thriving
I was recently at the mall doing some holiday shopping. As I passed a kiosk in the center of the mall, a handsome young man approached and asked about my nails.
I typically rebuff these approaches, using my children and my harried attitude to protect myself against their persuasive ways. Because, truthfully, I am an easy target. And that day, the handsome young man with the very sexy accent had me at “hello.”
He massaged my hand with a sweet-smelling cream. He buffed my thumb nail to a glossy shine, and he guaranteed that glossy shine would last two weeks. Two weeks! With no nail polish! And even through the dishes, baths and diaper changes! He even complimented my eyes. When PHAT Daddy caught up with me, he said I was “giggling like a schoolgirl.”
So, yeah, I bought the Onsen Mineral Treatment package for my hands and nails. But not until I haggled with him a little. He first offered me the very special two-for-one deal. I was hesitant because it was really a lot of money for some cream and a nail buffer. So then – shhhh! – he put his finger to his lips and offered me the deal that he surely would offer to no other giggling schoolgirl: The coveted “three-for-the-price-of-one” deal! I handed over my credit card.
So, do you have a bridge to sell me?

On another note, we were at the bookstore and my daughter picked up a bunch of Backyardigans stuffed toys. When it was time to go, she had a hard time putting them down. I told her I’d buy her ONE. Seeing her dismay, her brother offered to buy her another one with his own money, as a gift. Is that sweet or what? Here she is, enjoying her new “guys.”

I don’t have a bridge, but I am willing to part with my secret and invisible diamond tiara for a fair price.
And once again, Leia and my Meg are clearly the same child…as are our boys. You’re scaring me.
So, I must conclude (as per your sixth weird thing about you in your prior post) that the guy was a professional hand masseur, yes?
Oh gosh, an impulse buy is not so bad every so often.. That’s how we got our nail art kit, which makes very fancy flowers and designs on those polished nails. I am also the proud owner of a few other items that I’d rather not disclose.
My daughter is 15 and I recall similar shopping incidents when she was Leia’s age.
You’re a terrific mom !
YOu are too funny! Problem is, I am sure it wouldn’t have happened if he had been a nice and attactive woman. There is so much power in a killer smile and sexy accent…he must make a mint!
Consider it a holiday gift.
That was a nice thing your son did.
It wasn’t the 3 for 1 deal you paid for!It was the attention you got from Mr. Hottie, and it was well worth it! I’d pay good money to have a hot guy rub my hands and tell me my eyes are pretty! WOOHOO!
What a sweetie pie that Luke is!
How is it that ALL of those kiosks have the Sexy Euro Guys working there? Seriously. Do they import them JUST to sell hand cream?
Your daughter is adorable!! My mall kiosk story involves the Rainbow Art set, a very convincing lady with an Australian accent who made it look so easy, a purchase, and getting it home to find that we couldn’t duplicate what she had done, at all.
So, is your thumb nail still shiny?
Please oh please submit this post for the upcoming CoH! I need more posts for my “gotta laugh” section, and this one made me smile
P-p-p-p-p-p-lease?!
A good move…those backyardagins (or whatever they’re named) are adorable. And there’s never any harm in nurturing a giving spirit between siblings.
I totally bought the Seacret nail stuff from a kiosk too! I haggled him down to $15 but I never thought about 2 for 1 Or 3 for 1!!
It was the shiny nails that got me!!
We all love the Backyardigans too. You can find a lot of them here.
