Yard Sale

I had my old and used stuff out for my yard sale. My older sister was the one who encouraged me to do this yard sale. I just started this yard sale stuff last two weeks every weekend - on Saturdays and Sundays.


Yesterday, my yard sale were only stuffed animals and a few old and used clothes. I went back to the house to have a quick refreshment and to check on my two sleeping little boys. When I went back to the gate where my yard sale is located, I was a bit shocked (just a bit) because I saw a lady looking happily at my stuff for sale. I look closer at her and noticed that she is "disturbed". I mean, she is one of the people loitering the streets with nowhere to go.


She is wearing a red baseball cap. Different pair of earrings, red extra size t-shirt, very dirty shorts and dirty finger nails down to her toes and rubber slippers. She gave a smile while holding an old Teletubbies talking stuffed toy - seems she liked it and wants it. I took the toy and gave her an old duck with a few tears but she refused to accept it and frowned. My heart pounded because she might hurt me or Ate Mae ( my lola's nice and trust worthy house helper) for not having the toy she want. I handed her the small white lion with a heart on it in exchange of the Teletubbies talking toy. I don't want to just give away the said talking toy because I am selling both toys for P100 but if only one toy, it costs P60. Besides, if the talking toy would go with her - oh, poor Tinky Winky... It is a bit expensive because the two teletubbies I have exchange dialogues when they are facing each other. Just press Tinky Winky's hand and he will start talking and Po will talk too.


I am not the type of person who would hit or shout at a mentally deranged human being. It's just not right and not fair. Just give them a hearty understanding, prayer and all will be fine. I am just afraid that if she gets angry and wild she might hurt the people in front of her. If she's gone wild and hurt people, we might get wounds from her long nails or she might bite. I'm just being careful against infections if ever.


I felt better when the dark rain clouds came quickly. She accepted the stuffed animal I gave and went away with a smile. Without a care in the world she is walking on. God knows what to do with people like her. I took my stuff and kept them and we ran back to the house.


Thank You Almighty God for loving me and my family. Please keep us safe from harm and danger specially my loving Lolas, Tito Roger, my Derryck and Dwyane and my Danilo. Please continue your flowing love and blessings upon us. I love You Dear God and Jesus Christ.
