The Thing About Yard Sales...

The thing about yard sales is this:

You sell off all the crap you bought at the yard sales you went to the year before…which is actually crap you owned the year before that when, in a moment of clarity and honesty, you said that not only did you not play with or use these particular items anymore, you haven’t even looked at them in a decade.

Then, the next year, in a fit of nostalgia you go to yard sales and buy it all back only to have, the next year, another moment of clarity and sell it off…

…and the cycle continues, endlessly.

So, remember, the next time you’re at a yard sale and pick up Stratego and say in a moment of wistful remembrance:

‘Stratego. I used to own one.’

Chances are: You used to own THIS one.

And that’s all I’ve got to say about yard sales. – (saw Forrest Gump recently)
