Bargaining...Christy Style

This saturday when I went to visit my sister, Christy opened the door and greeted me "Hello Madam. What can I do for you?" I was totally perplexed and then realised that he was role playing. He was a shopkeeper and I was a customer who had just walked into the shop. So I played along.

Me: Hello... What do you have?

Christy: I have gold, silver, diamonds.

Me: Wow! Show me your silver.

Christy (handing me an aluminium plate): Here, take this silver plate.

Me: How much?

Christy: 10,000 rupees!

Me (pretending to be aghast): Nooooooooooo... I will you 100 rupees for it.

Christy: Ok. Take it.

well.... obviously my family is really not good at bargaining...
