Next Time, I'll Ask for Two Pianos!


Someone, please buy this $200 piano.  I found it on Craigslist and asked Corey if we could have it for the new house.  He said no and argued that it would be silly to buy a piano right now since:

A) Neither of us plays well.
B) It's difficult to move.
and C) We don't need one. 
 
I thought these were unreasonable arguments but Corey rarely puts his foot down so we will continue to be a piano-less couple.  Darn!  I knew I should have started the negotiation by asking for two pianos! 

I still think we'll get one at some point since I want our children to at least learn the basics like I did.  I am dropping the issue since I've already been yapping about it to Corey since I finished work so I thought spreading the word would make me feel better.

I may not be getting a piano this week but that's no reason that some other lucky person in the GTA shouldn't cash in on this great deal!  The seller is in Oshawa and they seem quite reasonable.  If I were you, I would paint it lime green and name it Pianigans... like "shenanigans"... or maybe I'd just leave it black and pretend we're a respectable couple who doesn't name furniture: Your choice.

I always wanted my very own piano.

I had one growing up and have always wanted one for our own children to play one day. :)
Why do you have to ask a man if you can have a piano? You work. Buy it with your own money.

MaryAnn, when I lived alone, I would have purchased that piano without a moment's hesitation. Now that Corey and I live together, we communicate before making any large (financially or just sheer size) purchases. I tend to have a very strong (maybe a tad bossy) personality so I make an extra effort to consult my more easy-going partner so that he doesn't feel steamrolled. ;)
