A 17-year-old boy who works part-time at Pizza Hut comes home one day driving a stunning Porsche. His parents are shocked and immediately ask him, “Where did you get that car?”
“I bought it today,” the teen replies calmly.
His mom, worried, asks, “With what money, young man? We know how much a Porsche costs, and you can’t afford it!”
The boy explains, “Well, it’s used, and I got a good deal. This one only cost me 20 dollars.”
Shocked, his mom exclaims, “Who on earth would sell a car like that for 20 dollars?!”
“The woman up the street,” the boy replies. “I don’t know her name – she just moved in. She ordered a pizza, and when I delivered it, she asked if I wanted to buy a Porsche for 20 dollars.”
Curious and angry, the boy’s parents rush over to their new neighbor’s house to demand an explanation. To their surprise, they find her calmly planting flowers in her front yard.
Approaching her with determination, the dad says, “I’m the father of the kid you just sold a sports car to for $20. I need an explanation from you!”
The woman, still focused on her gardening, looks up and calmly responds, “Well, this morning, I got a phone call from my husband. I thought he was on a business trip in Florida, but it turns out he has run off to Hawaii with his secretary and doesn’t plan on coming back.”
Perplexed, the mom asks, “What does that have to do with selling our son a Porsche for $20?”
Smiling brightly, the new neighbor pauses for a moment before answering, “Well, my husband asked me to sell his new Porsche and send him the money. So, I did.”
