Whats for sale?

A couple of weeks ago, I came home from work and found the kids and a couple of their friends set up to sell.

They set up a little card table and bring out all of these toys and whatever else they can find.

Its kind of cute to see them get excited about selling something, but I think they need a lesson in targeting their audience.


I see 2 naked dolls....one of which is Raggedy Ann. I'm glad no Barbies were present and I'm glad Raggedy Andy wasn't naked either.

Then there are all of these truck toys that have probably been buried in a backyard, wheels don't turn, etc..

Then there is the mystery candy that is older than dirt and looks like it was pulled out from underneath a dresser or couch.

Then there is everything else and they try to flag down cars that are turning into the cul-de-sac and pestering adults to come look to see if there is something they want.

The funny thing is that in the end they come and ask us for money to buy stuff from their own sale. This is truly one of the only times as a parent that you'll pay for something, just to turn around and throw it away when the kids aren't looking.
