Imagine the surprise that hit the parents of a 17-year-old boy when he came home in a flashy Porsche. They knew his part-time job at Pizza Hut couldn’t possibly pay for such an expensive car. Confused, they demanded to know how he got it.
One day, this 17-year-old kid who works part-time at Pizza Hut pulls up in his beautiful Porsche. When his parents see the fancy car, they are stunned and immediately ask him where he got it.
His parents, shocked by what they see, wonder, “Where did you get that car?”
“I bought it today,” the teen replies nonchalantly.
His mom gets really worried and asks, “Young man, with what money? You can’t afford a Porsche; we know how much those cost!”
“Well, it’s used and I got a great deal,” the boy explains. I just paid $20 for this one.
“Who would sell a car like that for 20 dollars?” his mother asks in disbelief.
The boy responds, “The lady up the street.” She just moved in so I don’t know her name yet. After delivering her pizza order she asked if I wanted to buy her Porsche for $20.
The boy’s parents can’t hold back their anger and curiosity; they hurry over to their new neighbor’s house ready to demand answers. They are surprised to find her calmly arranging flowers in her front yard.
“I’m the dad of the kid you sold a sports car to for $20,” he says boldly as he approaches her. You need to explain this!
The woman looks up from planting flowers and says calmly, “Well this morning my husband called me.” I thought he was on a work trip in Florida but turns out he’s gone off to Hawaii with his secretary and isn’t coming back.
“What does that have to do with selling our son a Porsche for $20?” his mother asks confusedly.
The new neighbor smiles widely and replies, “My husband told me to sell his new Porsche and send him the cash,” pausing briefly before continuing. So that’s what I did!
