Am I Trying To Brainwash You? (An Open Letter)

Am I trying to brainwash you?I admit I was a magician in my younger years.  But I never did much with mental magic (tricks that make you think I am reading your mind).  And I never really got into hypnosis (although I do love a good performing hypnotist – nothing like a person barking on stage!).

Which is why it cracks me up when people have accused me of trying to brainwash their spouse.

I used to deny it.  Swear that I was doing nothing to brainwash, hypnotize, or manipulate anyone (or their spouse).

But I gave up.

So, today, I have a confession.  Yes, guilty as charged, I am trying to brainwash your spouse.  But you may just like what I am doing!  (Or you may not, if you don’t believe in commitment, growth, security, concern for family — things like that.)

Here is my confession — for anyone and their spouse that is concerned I am “brainwashing.”  (And trust me when I tell you that you seriously overestimate my skills on that one!)

My confession is below:
