Doorbell rang earlier today, my first thought was “who is it now!?”; local church trying to tell me of some special program they are having for new members, college kids trying to sell APC house alarm systems, new siding so I don’t have to paint ever again… The only time the door bell rings is when someone is trying to sell me something I do not need.
Open the door expecting to tell whoever it is that I do not need what they are selling only to find this little girl about 6~7 years old looking up at me. Ok – not what I was expecting and after a few seconds to regroup my thoughts I try and say a nice Hello.
Can see it in her eyes, a big guy looking down at me and after a couple of seconds the conservation goes:
Her – you want to buy stuff?
Me – what kind of stuff?
Her – some card stuff, some kind of wrapping stuff, and some other stuff.
Me – is it Christmas stuff?
Her – I think so, the school wants us to sell this stuff. There candy stuff also.
Me – Ah
Her – no one wants to buy this stuff though.
Me – lets me see you your catalog.
About this time my wife took pity on me and helped me out, she a bit less intimating to smaller children.
A lot of stuff in that catalog.
