Patience is not his virtue

1:13pm
6yo son: "Mom you know all those toys you have in the box that you were going to get rid of?"

Me: "Yes"

6yo son: "Well, I want to sell them in the front yard, because Devon and Jordan have alot of money and I want alot to."

Me: But, honey I was going to give those away to people for free"

6yo son: "Well, if they dont have any money I will give it to them, but if they do they can pay up"

Me: Snicker...O.K.....go ahead"

1:16pm
He sets up the toys in a straight row on the sidewalk in front of our home and proceeds to wait.

Me: "So honey, what are you going to be selling them for?"

6yo son: "One hundred and ninty nine dollars, so that I can buy that go-cart"

Me: "Oh my, you may want to start out at 25 cents and work your way up."

1:20pm
6yo son: "Mom no one has come yet, were are they? Do you think I should stand at the corner, wave and say, Toys for sale over here"

Me: "Um..no honey, just wait a while and someone will show up, you must be patient.

1:24pm
Me: "Honey why are you in here, you need to be watching your toy sale."

6yo son: "Oh, Im done with that, no one showed up. There has got to be a faster way to earn a hundred and ninty nine dollars!"

Me thinking to self: well there is but its usually not legal.
