Him: How did the appraisal go?
Me: Good I think. Who can tell?
Him: Did he seemed impressed with all the work we have done already?
Me: Yes. But he asked me what I thought the house should come in at.
Him: And?
Me: And he laughed when I told him.
Him: Uh-oh.
Me: I went high, but still.
Him: What did he say?
Me: The neighbors who just sold their house blah blah blah, nicer than ours, blah blah blah we still have lots of work to do.
Him: Well that’s true.
Me: He did say that the kids were the best kids he has run into in a really long time. Maybe that will count for something.
Him: Maybe.
Me: You know how some people sell houses furnished? Well, we can sell ours with children.
Him: Instant family.
Me: Just add huge mortgage.
Him: Exactly.

Oh, I’m sorry. That sounds so stressful.
November 15th, 2006 at 9:09 amMy husband is always trying to give away our kids, and I keep telling him they ought to be worth something to us! Now yours come with a house, that’s a deal
November 15th, 2006 at 9:09 amYou should at least keep one of them. You know. As a memento.
November 15th, 2006 at 9:12 amKeep the toddler. They are great laughs to have around.
November 15th, 2006 at 9:20 amyeah you should at least keep one of each.. ya know..
November 15th, 2006 at 9:40 amThere are those that would take you up on that. Just think, they’d save all those childbirth pains, etc. Worth a huge mortgage.
November 15th, 2006 at 10:33 amWait, we’re allowed to sell the kids with the house? I need to rethink my options.
November 15th, 2006 at 10:34 amI tried to give my cats away the last time I sold a house but no one wanted them. I didn’t think to add my kids into the deal ….
November 15th, 2006 at 11:17 amA small two bed room, 1 1/2 bath, fully furnished, large kitchen, huge backyard, two well behaved children.
Sounds like a good deal, lol
November 15th, 2006 at 12:03 pmI’m worried if they saw how my kids behave they would take money away.
November 15th, 2006 at 12:20 pmYour kids are the best behaved kids I’ve ever met, that is for sure. That should up your appraisal for sure.
Did you show them the attic office? I love that! And did you show them your superior tiling jobs?
November 15th, 2006 at 12:35 pmWe keep wondering how much we could get for ours too. If you get a line on value, let me know.
November 15th, 2006 at 1:12 pmI hope you get a wonderful appraisal, and if you have to throw in a couple kids to seal the deal? Not such a bad bargain…
I do think they start losing value when they get mouthy though.
November 15th, 2006 at 2:57 pmawww you’d miss em.. but I guess you could put in the contract that you can visit once or twice a year
