I caught my wife lurking!

Tonight, I was putting my daughter Maggie to bed.
20 minutes later, I come out and see my wife looking at Matthew's hot stamp TH&C's in the M2M!!!
She wanted to know what the deal is with them, so I pulled out some of the hot-stamp Paulsons I got from Harlequin, along with otherchips to describe the stamping and logos used by Paulson, ASM, et al.

Then I showed her my Chinese New Year's brass chips from Hollywood Park and told her how much they appreciated since I bought them.

I think we have a new convert on our hands.

So do you we have a new fan of poker chips now?

Well if she can see the spark in chipping then you have a pure ok on every chip purchase from now on.

Congratulations on the wife conversion. Most people think it's an urban legend but when the stars are aligned just right, it can happen.

There is definitely something wrong with this picture. If you all knew sparky's wife and how much she dislikes poker, and even what poker chips represent as gambling, this is amazing. Now I only hope that she does not see this post....lol

Maybe she's come over to the good side because her little baby loves playing with poker chips so much? Maybe all that money I spent on custom ASM's getting shipped to his house may have paid off just a bit. Next thing you know, sparky will be building a flipper top poker/dining table!

Just wait though until we get this little darling out on the golf course someday....If Mrs Sparky then decides to take up golf because her little girl is spending too much time with daddy and uncle Mike on the golf course, who knows what would happen.

Sounds great...there must be a catch...wives always have an ulterior motive (even when they don't have a plan yet, they can always use the information later somehow)...

Just what I was thinking. I've learned not to show my wife anything I collect. The reply is always the same, "Wow, that's nice. . . How much did you pay?"

My philosophy is "Don't Show; Don't Tell".
