Another touching kid story!
So there I was, washing the dirt from a Katrina fueled rainstorm off the black beast and all of a sudden this really hot looking blond with a kid about eight appeared at the end of my driveway.
Since my dear wife was about ten feet away, I tried not to pay too much attention to the blond, but they came up the driveway with the young man eyeing my sparkling black beauty.
She came up to me and said, "We were walking by and my son saw you washing this beautiful car...."
"Yes?" I smiled at her, ready to let her see the joy in her son's eyes as he sat behind the wheel of America's only sports car...
"and my son wondered if you'd buy some of the stuff he's having to sell at school?"

The kid saw his way to your wallet and took it.
