How to sell a batch of pokemon cards for $142.51
You may have seen this already as it seems to be making the rounds. But if you haven’t, it’s hysterical. It might fall into the NSFW category only if laughing out loud while reading something off of your monitor will get you into trouble. Just make sure you’re not covering up with an email from your boss while you’re laughing and you will probably be fine.
What is it? It’s a very creative eBay listing from a mother of six. Here’s how it starts:
I’m selling a bunch of Pokemon cards. Why? Because my kids sneaked them into my shopping cart while at the grocery store and I ended up buying them because I didn’t notice they were there until we got home. How could I have possibly not noticed they were in my cart, you ask? Let me explain.
You haven’t lived until you’ve gone grocery shopping with six kids in tow. I would rather swim, covered in bait, through the English Channel, be a contestant on Fear Factor when they’re having pig brains for lunch, or do fourth grade math than to take my six kids to the grocery store.

HILLARIOUS, if this woman is ever going to write a book.. I will be the first in line 🙂
If you enjoy her writing, be sure to check out her blog. She provided the URL in her listing. The name of her blog, if I remember correctly, is “Because I said so” 😆
