So something Aaron has been trying to teach me since we got married is the difference between needs and wants. If I ever feel like I need something (clothing is a great example) Aaron asks me if I need new shoes or if I just want new shoes. Its a common occurrence around our house. So the other night we are sitting watching tv and a commercial comes on for this little number, the Colgate 360 tooth brush. Wow, this is a cool tooth brush, I think in my head. It has a brush on the back too so you can brush your tongue and cheeks. I go over it in my head- okay my current tooth brush is fine but this would really help me to better clean my tongue and cheeks. My mouth is important and I want to make sure it stays clean. And actually I'm saving us money by lowering the amount of dental work that I will need done because this will keep my mouth so much cleaner (Right? Right). I've got the argument all prepared in my head.
"Aaron" I say, clearing my throat, "I need that tooth brush."
"Oh really sweetie, you need that."
This was easy, I haven't even gone into my arguments. "Yes, I will use it all the time to better clean my cheeks and tongue, I'm so bad about that now but if I had THIS tooth brush I would do it."
"Oh really, are you sure about that?" (What's going on here...)
"Yes, I'm sure."
"Haley, you have that tooth brush."
Ha, ha... sure enough I do and I didn't even know it. I have started using it to better clean my whole mouth :)
Just a little look into what being married to me is like. Bless my sweet husband.

TOOOOO funny! Haley - that is seriously too much.
And so funny that this is what y'all do because pretty much I NEED everything - no wants, all needs.
My arguments always consist of eating out though. And it's kind of hard to explain to my man why eating out is a need.
You nerd. That's funny!
Haley, I was laughing so hard reading this! You are too funny. I love that you "prepped" your arguement beforehand. :)
oh my word, it's so late and I just read this and it made me laugh out loud!!! haley, I've missed you so....and glad that you're back in the homeland to make me laugh!!
LOL...what a blonde moment.
So funny. We are still having the need vs. want conversation all the time. And it's always me getting the lecture :)
PS. I'm obsessed with that toothbrush. I bought another cheaper brand once just to see, and I quickly realized that there was nothing out there to rival the 360. I've had to learn a lot about need vs. want too...
We've missed you! Especially with you slacking on your blog. You look so pretty in your pictures. I mean, you always look pretty, but you look especially pretty in the pics. I have so much I want to talk to you about. Hey and PS. Is the Elder (Derik?) Spitzer's waterslide?? Is he home? He is, right?
Love you!
Ok, 1. Haley, I feel your pain with the whole needs vs. wants speeches.
2. Jono and I could totally picture you guys having this conversation. haha.
We miss you guys! And give Jo a hug for us!
hahaha I love this story!
