Just thought I share an amusing observation I made at a yard sale in my neighborhood a few years back. A real friendly older couple had died recently and the daughter was running a sale on virtually everything in the home. The very event seemed very sad to me because I clearly recalled them walking up the street in earlier days just saying hi with a big smile, in spite of their apparent health issues. We never really got to know them beyond a friendly hello.
Anyhow, as I was walking through the home during the sale, I observed a man and a woman negotiating with the daughter over a glass paper weight in the form of a frog priced at $5. The couple was offering $2 for the item and just sounded belligerent as they made the offer, adding a sly remark about value. I didn't need the paper weight, but I took out my wallet and pulled out a five, handing it to the daughter stating that I'd love the frog at full price. Wish I had a picture of the expression on the couple's face
The frog is sitting here right now and reminds of a friendly couple from the past and the best five bucks I ever spent
