Little children, gather 'round.
I have a story to tell...
This one is about a little house, a cute little bungalow, that just would not sell.
The good people who lived there were sad.
The beautiful lady who lived there had panic attacks every day because the little house
would not sell.
They placed a listing in the newspaper to tell all the people of the land that the little house was for sale.
A smelly man and woman came to visit the house.
They smelled like cigarettes.
They looked through the house without saying a word, taunted the little baby who lived there, and left.
A man with tatoos and piercings came to visit the house.
He said, "Wow, isn't this neat?!"
He asked if his wife could come see the little house, too.
He left, never to be heard from again.
A man and wife came to visit the little house.
They said, "We love it! Let's buy it!"
The woman who lived there talked with her mother, who said, "No, no.
That man and woman cannot buy the little house.
They will not have enough money.
They will lose this house and we will lose good friends.
Wait until we can help you sell the little house when we are back from our carefree life, free of worries about paying for a little house that will not sell."
The woman there was very confused.
"My house must love my family," she thought.
And so ended the saga of trying to sell the little house that would not sell.
And possibly the beautiful woman's sanity.

Okay, so we're not really DONE trying to sell the house. But I thought it was a dramatic ending, don't you think?
....and then there were 5.

I am so sorry that I haven't been by in a while but I am glad that I did. This post is awesome. I love the Fairy tale narrative style.
I would truly put this with anything from Cori at "A GAG REFLEX".
Sorry about the house though. Do you know any pyromaniacs that you could invite over to spend the week? It could be an "accident". Okay, bad idea.
I won't even act like I don't amuse myself. I was cracking up while typing out the story. Ask my husband--he was sitting there shaking his head, absolutely convinced I'd lost it. Every time I read it, I laugh. Ahhhh, to be easily amused. Isn't it fun? =)
The couple to whom my parents wouldn't allow me to sell the house are still scrambling to get financed, so it's not out of the works just yet. And a little birdie told me that my step-mother-in-law (phew!) wants to take her daughter (yes, my step-sister-in-law! Ha!) to check it out. Hey, we're not biased. We will sell to anyone who's got the dough.
I think people really think it should be a $100k house, when they don't realize how the prices of homes has risen. And it's in good shape for its age, and a fabulous neighborhood. Makes you want to come here and buy it, doesn't it? Hehehehe.
