Five Buck Steal

If you want an incredible bargain, just knock on our door. Carlos put his toys and our two trucks up for sale for ONLY $5! Cheep!
Awhile ago, Carlos found a cassette Walkman by the wash where teens skate. It came with an MTV dance cassette and a radio. Unfortunately for Carlos, the MTV dance music is hardly appropriate for young ears, but even worse is the one and only station that comes in loud and clear. It's a bad attitude rap station. He had it blaring yesterday and Karl heard how foul it was. Karl had to take the Walkman away. Try explaining this to an 8 year old!! We explained how it's important to be careful what we let our eyes see and ears hear. God wants us to have pure hearts, and that starts with what we allow into our minds. Of course, he thought what we were saying was not a good thing to put into HIS ears! He was so mad that he took out a bunch of his toys and wrote up the sign you see above. I asked him why he wanted to sell his things (and OUR trucks!), and what he would do with the money, but all he could think of was that he was mad. So here's the sign translated: FOR SALE by Owner. $5 Cheap. Call (our number) La Canoa. Blue Toyota. Red Toyota. Carlos!!
This morning he put all his toys away. He's not mad anymore. Just sad. We'll have to buy him a CD player, or put better songs on his MP3 player. Hopefully that Five Bucks will go a long way!
