Why the weasel?
Because I am always trying to weasel my way out of things, weasel other people into doing things for me, weaseling information out of people, etc.
Case in point, just last night, which reminded me of my symbol...
My guy was over, we were lounging around talking, and I started giving him a much-needed hand massage. He does medieval foam fighting and his hands and arms get sore. Within minutes he was very relaxed.
Him: "I think I've gone stupid."
Me: (joking) "So about that silk you said you'd buy me for my ballgown..."
Him: "How much do you need and how much is it?"
Me: (laughing) "I don't really need silk."
A few minutes later, still massaging his hands...
Him: "I adore you."
Me: "How much? Because I'm still thinking about that silk..."
Him: "How much do you need and how much is it?"
Me: "I do not need more fabric!"
A few more minutes pass, still massaging his hands and arms...
Him: "I think I died."
Me: "You died? How long until they lock out your credit card? Because... silk..."
Him: "How much do you need and how much is it?"
Me: (laughing) "Nooooo..."
Him: "I will buy you silk."
Weasel with massage superpowers: 1
