Yard sale was too literal
I thought that I was just messy as a child, but it turns out things only get worse with age.
As an adult, I especially feel like it’s impossible to keep my household decluttered. I don’t know what to do with all these accrued belongings, so I usually just try to tuck it away out of sight. At a certain point, however, it’s time to purge. That’s exactly why I threw a large yard sale last month. I thought I could get rid of some of my own stuff, acquire a quick buck, and disinfect the home all at once. I didn’t realize that people would take “yard sale” so literally. Apparently, that label gives people the impression that EVERYTHING in the yard is honorablegame. This is how my a/c component was sold to a random person, and my associate and I were left with no central cooling system whatsoever. You see, I ran out to get more change for the currency box, leaving my 17 year outdated child in charge. It took longer than expected, and when I returned to the sale, I realized pretty hastily that the home was feeling warm and stagnant. I turned down the thermostat and just went back outside to help with the sale, thinking nothing of the A/C situation. At the end of the day, my associate and I all packed up and went back inside the house, at which point I found the indoor air temperature to be ungodly hot! My buddy and I were all quite baffled and worried, since all my associate and I wanted was to relax in comfortable cool air. That’s when my daughter’s aggravated voice rose above the chatter, stating “If you didn’t want the home to be hot, I don’t know why my associate and I had the central a/c for sale.”
