Garage Sale

I did my very first garage sale today. My neighbors have been talking about having one for a little while now and this weekend was the time. I mostly helped Becky because I didn't have much to sale. It was pretty fun, but a lot of work mostly for Becky because she had so much stuff. I didn't make very much, but then again I didn't have much to sale. However, Becky made a ton. It helps to keep things in the attic for 10 plus years and then purge. She was happy. We now have sunburns ...gotta love the farmer tan. I think I'm good on the garage sale thing for another 10 years.

Oh get this, some lady in a new Escalade tried to steal from us. She had a hand full of dresses and she told Becky "I'll be right back, I owe you $6". She took the stack of clothes to the car and Becky noticed that she had way more than $6 worth of stuff. She she stopped her and said "Miss I need to see what you have because some of the dresses are my neighbors and I need to know how much to give her." Becky took the stack out of the car and she had the few small dresses that she was going to pay for and then she had 4 of Caite's old dresses that she was trying to get away with. So Becky said, "the big girl dresses are more, so you really owe $20." The lady just said, "Oh never mind then, I don't want the big dresses." What kind of crazy person in a fancy car steals from a garage sale? That made me mad.

The other funny part was all the Mexicans who came out. They pretend not to understand English and the prices and just offer you basically nothing for everything. That turned pretty quick when I started speaking their language and not playing their game. Some of them were nice, others annoying, some just made me mad. I don't barter.
