master negotiators

after an extensive search (and the only person who actually met our criteria) jason and i have found a babysitter for cashel.  she is a tulane university student (catherine a.k.a."cooper") home for the summer and while she hasn't yet sat for us, i have a good feeling about her....and i'll actually be here when she sits refreshing my memory/learning physics for my upcoming jaunt into private school education where parents-pay-bookoos-of-$-to-send-their-child-to-this-school-so-the-teacher-better-know-what-the-heck-she-is-teaching!  anyhoo...she came over to meet us last saturday and cash was nothing but smiles for her.  what a charmer.  before she left i had this conversation with her:

robin: so i know your rate is a range.  what are you looking for for this job?

cooper: oh, yeah, i don't know...i normally get $10.00 an hour.

robin: oh...we'll pay you more than that!

cooper:  oh...ok.

robin: we'll why don't we both think about it and we'll decide later.

cooper: oh...ok.

after she left, jason called us both "master negotiators."
