Stealing a bit from the Olsen twins

Quite like the Olsen twins in the epic "Brother For Sale" movie that we all loved as children, I've come up with a great way to make money thanks to a lovely 10-year old British girl. And by "we", I mean probably only me, Tess, Kathryn, Lauren, and maybe Stephanie.

Clearly, I'll be more successful, and B&T will go for far more than a measly $3,500. Also, as members, readers, and subscribers of this blog, you all are lucky enough to have the opportunity to submit the first bids. Call me or email me. And I am using a reserve price starting at $1000. The Olsen twins were not dreaming big enough with a $0.50 reserve price!

ITEM: Grandmother for Sale

RESERVE: $1000

DESCRIPTION: Delightful 86-year old woman, slightly used. For sale as is, no returns Knees are only 10 years old as an added bonus. Heavy to moderate diet of BLTs, Big and Tasty Value Meals, and lots of Hellman's a must. No Duke's. Only Hellman's. Also, any buyer must have access to the Gameshow Network, Fox on American Idol night, and ABC on Dancing with the Stars night. However, complicated remotes and satellite TV are not recommended. Item also requires plenty of prescription meds and an organized system for distributing these meds. She will be ready and waiting at pill time and cannot be delayed. Be ready to yell out of frustration, hearing loss, and a combination of the two. Item cannot travel upstairs so a second story is recommended for moments when escape from reality is necessary.

Item is very talkative and good for gossip. Not reliable for celebrity gossip, anything news-related, or weather information as she only hears one out of every five words from the TV. Gets an A+ for effort and provides entertainment with occasional news reports. Likes visits to the Dollar Tree and the occasional Burger King Surprise. Be wary of occasional 911 calls and visits from phantom bugs that may call across the phone.

Feel free to email questions and concerns.

  1. I loved that movie. Almost as much as It Takes Two and To Grandmother's House We Go!
