The final blow came when a seven-
year-old neighbor boy pointed out my
failure. As I prepared to shut down for
lunch and was making a "Closed"
sign; he suggested an alternative.
"Why don't you just write 'Out of
Business?"' he queried. "No offense,
but I just don't think you were cut out
for garage sales."
After three hours of putting up
with weird people poking through
my garage, rifling through my goods
and walking away empty handed,
decided he was probably right. Per
his suggestion, I made up the sign
and placed it in front of my closed
garage door.
Defeated, I admitted to Joel that I
was a garage sale failure. After spend-
ing $3 for a city permit, $10 for a
newspaper advertisement, $1.75 for a
roll of masking tape (to hang the signs
and tag the goods), I was now $10 in
the hole.

As I searched the yellow pages for
places to cart away all of my priceless
possessions, Joel gently placed an arm
around my shoulders.
"You may be a pathetic failure at
garage sales but I love you," he said
and kissed me on the cheek.
As for my sister, I waited until I
saw her the next week. Then I lied
directly to her face.
"I just donated all of the junk," I
said. "Besides, who wants to sit in a
garage all day for a couple of bucks?
Unlike you, I have better things to do
with my weekends." LI
