Hunter has his first sale!

Saturday morning at 6 am Hunter jumped out of bed and yelled, "Today is my sale!" We was in a hurry to get ready. Got dressed, ate breakfast and got his table ready with change, bags and his pad to track everyone's sales. We provided him a calculator but soon came to realize the only one's that needed a calculator were Nana and mom. It was soon left inside. Many customers were very impressed with his ability to add and make change in his head. He has always been quite skilled with math and money.
Hunter the Salesman. He sold this guy a TV, washer and dryer and a bookcase as well as several other odds and ends. Many walked away admitting he was so charming he could have sold them a box of rocks.
Hunter had a highly successful day. He met a Russian lady, a guy who's son lives in Iceland, a lady that wants to vote for him when he runs for President, a new friend that invited him over for a play date and a lady that kept coming back because he was just so "charming" as well as many more interesting people. He made everyone feel welcome to his sale, was willing to tell anyone why they needed to buy anything they were considering. Made some deals. Sold the old tee ball stand - threw in a wiffle ball free to close the deal. The buyer was about 80, but was sure she had grandkids that would love it.
The next day he got up and said, "Let's have another garage sale today!" Mom said, "NO, go back to bed."

And we were looking for a set of golf clubs for a two-year-old. Bet Hunter's sale would have been just the thing. When will there be another?
