Reason #1: “I iron better than you.”
The wife, surprised, asked, “Who told you that?”
Helen replied, “Your husband.”
Reason #2: “I cook better than you.”
The wife asked again, “Who said that?”
Helen calmly responded, “Your husband.”
Reason #3: “And I’m a better lover than you.”
The wife, now shocked, asked, “Did my husband say that?”
Helen smiled and replied, “No, the gardener did.”
Rather than getting upset, the wife paused, taking in Helen’s bold, clever response. Laughing, she said, “Alright, Helen, how much do you want?”
This story is a fun reminder that confidence, humor, and knowing your worth can turn even an awkward conversation into a positive outcome. Sometimes, a little wit can go a long way in negotiations!
