Acorns for $.50…I guess it’s the price you pay to live in the suburbs.  When I say acorns, I literally mean acorns.  Why the heck would I buy acorns let alone just one for $.50?  I’m still asking myself that very same question.  Over the weekend 3 sweet little kids rang my doorbell with their adorable, innocent smiles on their faces asking me to buy some acorns.  No offense, because I really do like the kids and the parents of the kids but for god sakes why would you let your children go door to door selling useless annoying acorns? I thank my parents to this day that they never made me go door to door hawking crap nobody really wants.  $7 magnets…$30 wrapping paper etc.

So anyways it was one acorn for a penny, ya right like I’m going to be the cheap neighbor and just give a penny.  So, instead I act like the big spender and give the kids $.50….but, I still only get just one acorn.  Man these kids are good.  They not only suckered me into buying an acorn, something I could just as easily picked up in any backyard myself, but I get suckered into overpaying for it. These kids are going to be the next Bill Gates, Tom Golisano…
