Yard Sale
Image via WikipediaToday, I am sitting outside watching a few tables at a community yard sale.
Usually, I must admit, I am a ‘throw it out’ kind of gal, but I suppose this is somewhat better for the environment.
The last time I participated in any sort of junk sale was when my parents moved out of their home and into an apartment. I hope I don’t get wrangled into anything like it for another 10 years. Tire kickers and bargain hunters are not my favorite people to deal with.
What I was quite pleased and pleasantly surprised to discover, however, is that my 5-year-old son is a natural pitchman. He was as happy as a clam selling toasters and jewelery to unsuspecting passers-by. I had no idea he could be so assertive and bold. And he asked for the sale every time.
He came home with enough money to buy a few Lego sets, and enough confidence to make me feel incredibly good about the whole experience… tirekickers and all.
