I was just sitting here trying to think of something to blog about when I had someone knock at my door. Seems in the 'hood it's a common thing for strangers to walk around and knock on doors.
This time it was a young boy. I opened the door and he flung this paper up in my face with great force and went on and on about burgers, milk shakes, and other things from Dairy Queen I didn't quite catch. I was quite mezmerized by his overly enthusiastic spiel. Apparently he was trying to sell me $150 worth of DQ coupons for twenty bucks. His sales pitch was so full of vigor that I was almost convinced that I had twenty bucks to buy one of those coupon sheets from him. But, alas, I had to reject him and send him on his way.
I give the boy major credit though for walking around the ghetto trying to hustle the rest of the hustlers that live around here. It takes a big 'sack to do something like that 
I remember those fundraising projects in school. We always sold things like candy bars and stuff…
Thanks for the comment!
That’s pretty funny that a kid is trying to hustle you.
I hated doing Fundraisers…..I always got real nervous just walking up to strangers asking them to buy overpriced crap……
Yeah, me too. Though granted, I liked it better when they actually answered the door. I hated it when you would go up to a house, with the shades open and the TV blaring from the living room, then when you ring the doorbell, they shut the shades, turn off the lights, turn down the TV, and act like no one’s home. I mean, christ, I may have been a 10 year old selling door-to-door candybars, but I wasn’t stupid.
LOL. I’ve been known to not answer the door even though I have the stereo blasting, the kids are screaming, and I’m sitting in full view through the front window
