How Much For the 8 Year Old?

The crude hand lettered sign alongside the street said Kids Sale. I did not stop to check them out since I’ve already gotten two of them grown and am too old to do it again…

    Me, too. In fact I am not certain that I would take them even if they were free. And this from a person who never passes up a sale!

    Sounds like a “Ransom of Red Chief” deal to me. Don’t fall for it!

    Yeah, I guess I’d be a little leary too. But we’ll never know what wonderful bargains were possible, will we Winston? YOU DIDN’T STOP!! Heck, even if YOU weren’t in the market…think of what a GREAT Xmas or birthday present that would be for someone who was so inclined. I hope you’re not going to be kicking yourself later.

    Hey, maybe if the outcome of the game had been different…you would have been in a totally different mindset. Sorry about the game. Hugs….

    Wise move. When they reach the remaindered rack, they can be a bad bargain.

    Here in Wichita, there’s a small resale shop with a sign in the window reading “Youth Sale.”

    That sign pulls in various ways. But the store always seems to be empty.

    Hmmm, seems the first thing they sold was the apostrophe. So here’s a special offer, buy the dozen: ”””””” and get one free ‘ ;-)
