WOMAN WHO TRADES KIDS FOR BIRD
A Louisiana woman reportedly gave up her two children plus $175 in exchange for a $1500 cockatoo. (cnn.com) This should be a great lesson to us all– that you can never get too creative on your craigslist bargaining skills. Next time you can be like… Hmmm. I really like that coffee table. I’ll give you 20 bucks and my grandmother. Not to get all fancy with the math, but with that exchange rate, the going price for a kid appears to be about $662. Wow has our economy gone to the crapper. Seems like only yesterday you could get 10 times that just for an unfertilized human egg. Maybe kids are just one of those investments that lose value like a straight-off-the-lot Mitsubishi.
In case you haven’t entered yet, I highly recommend trying your hand slash ass shake at the Beyonce “Single Ladies” dance contest. There’s only a few more days to learn the moves, cut one arm off of your long sleeved swimsuit, and elongate your legs… but I have faith in you! You can do it!
