The bats are a bargaining chip. Similarly, if your new wife comes home some day and says, "Your gun safe is full so you can stop buying anymore guns.", you either surprise her with a bigger or a 2nd gun safe and make sure you show her how much extra room you've got now.
Bargaining Chip.
You can always tell her:
You:" my first wife I divorced used to nag me about how many guns I had"
She: " you never told me you were married before, how come you never told me you were married before, that is something couples should talk about, my feelings are hurt now, you never tell me anything, how can I trust you, you should have told me you were married before, was she skinnier than me, when were you married before, was she prettier than me, I demand to know when where you married before "
You: " I wasn;t.....".
