Wife Approval Tip #5 - her illness, your opportunity

in

Having your wife under the weather can be quite a chore, especially if you have to look after the kids as well. Fetch me this, go get me that, wipe my nose, scratch my feet – it can all get a little tiring. However, the wise Dadget-lovers amongst you will sense a fantabulous Dadget purchasing opportunity.

A sick wife is a helpless wife, and any temporary illness is a perfect time to ask approval for the Dadget that would ordinarily be out of your reach. I especially recommend selecting the ‘drowsy’ variant of any medication so that she’ll be even more amenable to your request.

BONUS TIP: Pregnancy is the golden period for Dadget authorisation as you’ll have 9 months of weakness and vulnerability.

“Here’s another Lemsip, darling.”

“I love you so much. You’re taking such wonderful care of me, and our baby boy. I’m so pathetic when I’m ill.”

“Don’t be silly. I’m just happy that I can be here to help…and I’m also happy that you’ll be at home all day tomorrow for my package. Our new HD camcorder is due to be delivered.”

“Oh, you ordered one of those? Well, you deserve it after everything you’ve been doing for us both. You should get yourself that new military torch you’ve been wanting, too.”

“Even with a string of snot hanging from your delicate nose, you are still the most beautiful flower in the whole wide world.”
