A YOUNG COUPLE were in their honeymoon suite on their wedding night. As they were undressing for bed, the husband, who was a big, burly man, tossed his pants to the bride and said, "Here, put these on."
She put them on, but they were way too big.
"I can't wear your pants," she said.
"That's right," said the husband, "and don't you ever forget it. I'm the man who wears the pants in this family."
His new wife looked puzzled but then smiled sweetly. Then she flipped him her underwear and said, "Try these on."
He laughed, "Hell," he said, "I can't get into your panties!"
She replied, "That's right, and it's going to be that way till your attitude changes."
Moral of the Story: Setting terms and conditions is a power move, but never forget that those whom you set such conditions with have power moves of their own.
