4/13

I see a yard sale my parents are having with our neighbors.  It's always fun this time of year because we all get together for a few days and have a huge sale.  Normally everything goes fine, but today I had an odd experience.  A man bought something for $5, he handed me 5 ones and left.  I took the money over to where my mom was sitting, by our little cash drawer and set it right next to her hand.  She was talking to an old couple who were buying something for $2.  The old woman then reached down and picked up the 5 ones I had just laid down and tried to hand it to my mom to pay with.  I saw this and reached for it and said "oh, no, I just put that money there it's from another customer."  The woman and her husband spent the next 5 minutes arguing with me that she had taken that money out of her purse and put it there and i was trying to scam them.  Even the guy behind them in line stood up for me and said yes I had just set it there.  They finally paid with other money and left, but 20 minutes later they came back to say that they didn't want what they had bought anymore since I had stolen her money.  They literally stood there yelling at me for something I hadn't and would never do. My dad finally came outside and told them to stop speaking to me like that and to get off of our property.  I'll definitely remember that experience for many yard sales to come.
