Crazy.......

Some of you may know that I had a Garage Sale today. I haven't had one of those in forever. And it really went fairly well.....I made a lot more money than I had really anticipated. But what gets me here to writing about it is this.

I was going to try and sell some of my furniture inside so I had an excuse to redo my living room. Lots of people were interested in coming inside to see what I had to offer. No one was really interested.....I could tell. A hispanic family drives up - mom, pop, several kids - and just walk into my house while I am showing another family the furniture. I thought this was odd.....yes I have things inside for you to see but no I do not have a sign outside that says please feel free to come and go as you please. The family I am currently talking to decide they aren't interested.....they knew they weren't even before they saw it.....so I begin to focus my attention on the family that just barged into my house. While I am in mid sentence with them.....it sounds like an earthquake just hit the house.....like the ceiling is about to fall in. And I look up above their heads to my upstairs and there I see it. Their children have taken it upon themselves to RUN up my stairs as fast as they can and then RUN back and forth the hall upstairs really fast, going in and out of every room that I have up there. The couple didn't even flinch. The wife had asked me a question but I didn't even hear it. Some how the kids ended up back downstairs rumaging through gifts I had bought for my friends children......really pissed me off. So I turned and looked at the kids and said....GET YOUR GRIMEY STINKY LITTLE HANDS OFF MY STUFF AND GET OUT OF MY HOUSE......TAKE YOUR PARENTS WITH YOU! Okay.....maybe I didn't say that.....maybe I didn't say anything at all.......but I did think it...and maybe they could sense it.....because they left...kids in tote....without any of my furniture.......
