Kids for sale - cheap!
Would anyone like to buy two children for the low, low price of $133? It will help us cover the cost of this month’s water bill (also $133) since the kids turned on the garden hose and then left it on … for three weeks.
I don’t think it would be hard to train them for manual labor (small nimble fingers!) and they don’t eat much.
