Neighbor kid came over and wondered if I had some extra sandwich bags, she wanted quite a few. Turns out she was filling them with gravel and said she was going to sell them at the family garage sale for $5 each. I felt bad to rain on her parade, but told her that no one was going to pay $5 for a bag of gravel. She looked disappointed for a second and then said “OK… $2.50!”
I never buy those $10 charity candy bars. For one, I can get them at the grocery for $2, for another the charities pay $5 each and get only $5. If I want to donate to a charity I’ll give it right to the charity itself. Both I and the charity will be ahead.

If Broomy had been sitting on a cactus, she may have been more sharp!

Does Flossie have naturally curly hair? Man, would Freida (from “Peanuts”) be jealous!!

If Nerwin was selling candy, he wouldn’t be as clever as Flossie. (He’d eat it himself.)

She has the money, just not common (cents) sense.

The way chocolate prices keep rising, $50/bar is not so improbable!

That was not very nice.
