I’m always going onto strangers front porches and taking stuff.
Today? I was going for some sauce apparently.
Here’s how this all went down:
It’s Wednesday so that means that it’s Ninja Class at 4:30 and during the short half an hour or so the child was home a lot happened
First, that the child decided that she needed to make a fort of two Chewy boxes1 and one Amazon box and then she decided it was an office printer and she was inside the box spewing paper through the slot in the bottom of the box.
While this was happening, BW was working hard2 from the sofa and she found that one of our neighbors was giving away FREE sauce.
She texts me the address of this place that has a sauce surplus and the child and I are out the door to Ninja Class.
Class is over and we’re off to get whatever it is on the front porch. Usually for this kind of Facebook trading the person with the stuff puts the stuff on the front porch and labels it.
There were a few other things on there - somebody named Susan was getting a blender or something. So I park the car, tell the child I will be right back and go get whatever the heck it is. I’m not too worried because they usually label the thing
Except this time. It’s been a minute so by now the child has determined that I need help so now there’s two of us standing on some strangers porch having a conversation about what stuff we should take?
I text BW and no reply so she’s no help with this mystery.
Finally, the owner comes out and wonders why we’ve been on her porch for the last 10 minutes. We explain that BW sent us to get something but we don’t know what that something is.
The very nice lady set us straight and told us to take one sauce package and not the entire box.
And I am supposed to know that how? All I had for info was an address and the child telling me it was “food” of some kind.
I deduced that chances are with this information that the box with food would make the most sense and there was no label on the box like there was for Susan’s blender- so it was easy to get confused about what to take from somebody’s front porch.
Next time -and there will be a next time - I will be more specific with the questions of what I am taking from somebody’s front porch
OH! We almost made it climbing up the wall today:
Until Next Time,
TH and Co.
