A 17-year-old boy who works part-time at Pizza Hut drives up his parent’s driveway in a Porsche….
Naturally, his parents know that there’s no way he earned enough with his after-school job to buy such a car.
“Where did you get that car?” his mom and dad screamed in shock.
He very calmly tells them, “ I bought it today.”
“With what money young man?” his mom demands. “We know how much a Porsche costs and you cannot afford it”
“Well, it’s used and I Got a good deal” says the boy, “This one cost me 20 dollars.”
At this point, the parents don’t believe him and start yelling even louder.
“Who on earth would sell a car like that for 20 dollars?!”
“The woman up the street,” the boy replies.
“Name please?” Asked the mom
“I don’t know her name–she just moved in. She order a pizza and I delivered it to her and asked me if I wanted to buy a Porsche for 20 dollars.”
“Oh my gosh,” the mom moans. “She must be some sort of crazy. Who knows what she will do next? Tim, you go right up there now and see what’s going on.”
The boy’s dad and mom hurry over to their new neighbor’s house, ready to demand an explanation. Curiously, their new neighbor is calmly planting flowers in her front yard.
“I’m the father of the kid you just sold a sports car to for $20,” the dad says. “I need an explanation from you – ASAP!”
“Well,” the woman says, not looking up from her garden. “This morning I got a phone call from my husband. I thought he was on a business trip in Florida, but it seems he has run off to Hawaii with his secretary and doesn’t intend to come back.”
“What on earth does that have to do with selling our son a Porsche for $20?” The boy’s mom asks, utterly perplexed.
The new neighbor smiles very big, and pauses for a minute.
“Well, my husband asked me to sell his new Porsche and send him the money. So I did.”
