No parent is perfect.
And it’s by no means easy to raise kids.
And sometimes, in very unfortunate situations, being a parent becomes no longer possible or feasible.
Which is why it’s so great to know that instead of just abandoning their child, parents can now turn to the glory of the Internet to sell their unwanted sun/daughter.
This brings us to an unidentified man who goes by Rick, who as of February has been posting on the popular buying/selling website Craigslist looking for people to buy his son Gavin.
So… assuming you went on to Craigslist to search for a new son to add to your family, does Gavin seem like a good purchasing opportunity?
But how do you know if Gavin is really a great kid? How do you know if Gavin would be right for your family? How do you know what his unique interests are?
Ah, good to know. But refusing to eat vegetables?? Guess he’ll just have to be trained better to finish all those brussel sprouts. But now that you know this, are you curious about what else he refuses to do? Can you tell whether he’s easy to handle? Do you think he’s whiney, annoying, irritable? Do you think he can be disciplined?
Oh, word. Thanks for sharing your parenting techniques with us, Rick. You’re clearly doing a good job there, although the fact that you’re posting to sell your own son on Craigslist is a little fishy… but nothing too out of the blue I suppose.
Anything else you want to share with us potential buyers, Rick?
Aw, how sweet. This really shows that Rick cares.
So, after reviewing these posts more thoroughly, do you think you might want to buy Gavin?? Or would you rather just stick to shopping for used Bose headphones and perusing for summer jobs that require you to take your bra off…
Ultimately, it’s just nice to know that there are so many different things available to buy, sell, and discover on Craigslist. And don’t forget about the “Missed connections”!
