So, after buying that new grill, I needed to sell my old one. Put it on FB marketplace and the first part on the convo went like this.
The part about giving humanity a chance was mostly a joke. I asked him for a picture of DL and his license plate to give myself a little confidence in him paying me on Monday for a hamburger today. I did it because I hoped beyond hope he was telling the truth and this would make her b-day party better.
He brought her with him to pick it up and this 6 year old girl jumped out of his truck and ran up to our front porch and hugged me. She looked up at me and told me that now her daddy gets to make her and her friends hamburgers for her birthday. Even if, for whatever reason, the guy doesn't pay me, the look on that little girl's makes it well worth it.
But, the guy reminded me about taking the pics before he left, so I feel pretty confident he will pay me.
