Negotiations

Apparently Alexis has taken a page out of Tim's negotiation book and is really going to be a great negotioator some day. This is the conversation we had last night.
A: "Mom since I was so good today how many stickers can I have?"
(this was really strong, assuming that she could have a sticker and also not asking for a set amount...let the negotiation begin)
M: "Well Lex I will let you have 2."
A: "How about three?"
M: "No Honey I said 2 only"
A: "Ok how about four then:
Totally her father's child!
M: "Babe nice try but you are going in the wrong direction"
She did settle and was satisfied with 2 but I have a feeling in a few years I may be in some trouble!
