AND NOW FOR A "KITTY STORY"!!!! (most ppl know what that means) hey there! okay so I wanted to share with you all the funny little thing that happened to my cuzin and I in the past two days concerning what you have to do to get some money (no it's not what you think....well, u'll see). So here goes......so my cuz (clorissa) and I were at the park, innocently swinging on the swings when her dad came over to give his daughter (rissa) some money. At first, he only gave her 10 bucks, then she upped it to 20. And then he made the huge mistake of saying that she could call him if she needed anymore money. So of course, she told him that she was gonna call him tomorrow (hehehehe). He wasn't too happy about it and tried to tell her to call later in the week, but my cousin being a good negotiater got him to make a deal. The deal was for him to give us 30 more dollars along with the 20 he had already given us. For all you mathmatically challenged ppl; that's 50 buckaroonies! Now he didn't have the extra 30 dollars with him. He said he needed to pick it up at work the next day, so he gave us his number and told us to call him tomorrow at 8:00 sharp. Now that we had a time set up, we needed to know how exactly the transaction was to be made. We originally suggested he put the 50 bucks in a paper bag and place it in the tunnel in the park. But then he caught on that we said 50 instead of 30, so he squashed that idea. And then he tried to be cool and say that he was gonna put it in a paper bag and then inside the paper bag would be an envelope and then inside the envelope would be a box......uhh, sorry but no. Boxes don't fit inside envelopes. He tried to save himself by saying it would be a big envelope but we all knew he was just slow. Anyway, so we decided that we would call him the next day at 8pm sharp and he would drop off the money to our house. THE NEXT DAY..... we call at 7:58. Two minutes early (as quoted by rissa's father). And to make it worse, my phone battery was low and was about to die any second, but it only added to the effect. So the conversation went as follows. "Hel--" "Talk fast! The battery's low!" "what?" "I said talkfast the battery's low. Do you have the money?" "yeah, i got it today" "Good, we need it in thirty minutes" "I can't. I'm stuck in traffic right now" "Get out of traffic!" "I can't" "Okay then, hurry up and bring us the money. You have until 10pm to bring us the money" "okay, I'll call you when I get by your house" "NO! Do Not call. when u get here, honk 3 times in the alley, give us the money and then speed away as fast as you can" "Would you like me to put it in a paper bag and leave it in the garbage can?" That'll work. But if you don't get here before 10pm, there's gonna be an interest added to the money for every minute you're late" Then the phone died. So, we were upstairs feeding our cats, when we heard three honks in the alley. We ran downstairs and sure enough, it was rissa's dad, transporting the money. We walked up to the car, cooly and asked if they had "the goods". He said yes, the transaction was made and he sped off into the night. We had our total 50 bucks. Now we are true hustlers.
