Two parents were speechless when their 17 year old son came home with a shiny new Porsche one day.
The car was a real beauty, but the parents were understandably in disbelief and started to yell at their son: “Where did you get that car?!”
Calm and collected, their son answered: “I bought it.”
“How?!,” his parents yelled. “We know how much a Porsche costs!”
“Well,” said the boy. “This car only cost me $15.”
The dad became even more angry: “Who’s the idiot that sold you a Porsche for $15?”
The boy looked at him calmly and answered:
“I bought it from a woman up the street,” the boy said, and continued:
“I don’t know what her name is, but when she saw me cycling home from school she stopped me and asked if I wanted to buy this Porsche for $15.”
“Oh my gosh!” the mom gasped. “She must be some kind of child abuser. Who knows what she’s planning? Jonny, go down there and find out what this is all about.”
The boys dad went up the street to find out what was going on.
When he reached the house, he found the woman outside in the yard, calmly planting some flowers.
The dad marched up to her and yelled:
“Why did you sell a Porsche to my son for $15!?”
The woman took off her gardening gloves and explained.
“This morning I got a phone call from my husband. I thought he was away on business, but I found out he’s run away to Hawaii with his secretary. Apparently he’s not planning on coming back. He said that he was stuck there and needed me to sell his Porsche and send the money… So that’s exactly what I did.”
I didn’t see that answer coming! Share this story on Facebook if it made you laugh, too 🙂
