A peculiar conversation this morning.
Wife: I think I'm addicted to buying cloth nappies. They're so cute.
Me: Well we do have rather a lot. But they're not really for you, they're for the baby so that's ok.
Wife: You know how some people can't stop buying just one thing? Guess how many handbags [friend] has got.
Me: I dunno, maybe a dozen?
Wife: 83!
Me: Well she does like to coordinate, although I don't see how she'll ever use 83 of the things. Anyway, I just buy bike stuff.
Wife: Yeah you do. You should buy more bike stuff.
So... as justification for my wife buying the baby a couple of extra nappies, I am being encouraged to buy 83 handbags worth of bike stuff...
