Standing strong against peer pressure

I think this was a logical shift in conversation:

We were talking about peer pressure. Specifically, it was about friends pressuring you to drink alcohol. Sarah said, "I've got a strong mind and there is no way someone could get me to do something I don't want to do. If I decide when I am young, then that is the way it's going to be." (I wonder where she got these ideas...)

She contined, "I already know what I'm going to name my children when I grow up and no one can change my mind. Emily, Katie, Anthony, and Mark..."

Chris said, "Don't you think your husband should have a say in that?"

Sarah's response shows her vast understanding of marital compromise, "If I have more than four children, he can name the rest of them."

(By the way, I know Sarah very well and I'm guessing right now: No he can't. He may make suggestions, but the approval process will be extremely rigorous.)
