Imagine the astonishment of two parents when their 17-year-old son shows up at home driving a sleek and stunning Porsche. They knew his part-time job at Pizza Hut wouldn’t bring in enough money to afford such a luxurious car. Intrigued and concerned, they demanded an explanation.
“I bought it today,” the teen casually replies when his parents inquire about the source of the car.
Naturally, this revelation raises some serious questions. His mother, filled with worry, asks, “But how did you manage to afford a Porsche? We know how expensive they are!”
“Well, it’s a used car, and I got a really good deal,” the boy clarifies. “I paid only $20 for it.”
Shocked, his mother questions, “Who in their right mind would sell a car like that for just 20 dollars?”
With a smile, the boy explains, “It was the lady up the street. She just moved in recently, so I don’t know her name. After delivering her pizza order, she asked if I wanted to buy a Porsche for $20.”
Unable to contain their curiosity and indignation, the boy’s parents march over to the new neighbor’s house, determined to confront her and demand an explanation. To their surprise, they find her peacefully tending to her flowers in the front yard.
“I am the father of the boy you sold a sports car to for $20,” the father boldly approaches her. “You need to explain yourself.”
Looking up from her gardening, the woman calmly responds, “This morning, I received a phone call from my husband. I thought he was away on a work trip in Florida, but it turns out he ran off to Hawaii with his secretary and has no intention of returning.”
Perplexed, the mother asks, “What does that have to do with selling our son a Porsche for $20?”
With a broad smile, the new neighbor says, “Well, my husband asked me to sell his new Porsche and send him the money. So, I did exactly that.”
Can you believe it? Sometimes, life brings unexpected surprises, and this story of a teen and a Porsche is a perfect example. It just goes to show that you never know what might happen next door!
