"John, honey. Wake up. We're going to go garage sale hunting today!
No kid wanted to hear that first thing on a Saturday morning. Heck, no kid wanted to hear that on any morning. But there you were, sitting in the backseat of your family's car heading for the next 'big sale' that your mom's garage sale sense picked up on.
"Look at all this stuff we got, all for under ten bucks too!" your mom shouted from the wheel of the car.
"Ugh." you replied.
You were still half asleep despite it being almost lunchtime, hopefully this was going to be the last stop before your mom finally got bored and stopped for lunch. She wasn't a bad person, your mom, she was just a bit excitable most of the time, quite the opposite of your dad who people said you took after in personality.
