Wanted: House and P. Mag Back

*Warning, adult content* So, I can't contain myself with this story any longer because it just gets better and better. And hey, everyone needs a good laugh.



Remember just recently when we painted the boys bathroom (link here). Well in the process of painting around the bathroom cabinets I removed the drawers and found buried treasure. For the last 8 years, we have managed to live in harmony with the previous owner's stashed Porn magazines! That's right, there they were. Dated back to about the time the house was built. I interrogated Mike (just to be sure) but he assured me they weren't his. After all, if they were he'd share because that's the kind of guy he is (and I believe that). Luckily, the boys were with Papa that weekend and Mike and I had had a few good chuckles and even shared the story with a few friends. Well because I have a warped sense of humor and because I thought they would someday make an awesome gag gift (with story attached of course) we kept them and we laugh about them often.



Well today I got a knock at the door. I panicked thinking it was a showing that I wasn't aware of and wasn't ready for but it turned out to be the prior owner of this very house. The one we bought it from. The ones that left the porn mags! Her and her grandson. She asked if she could come in and see the house. I thought she was just being a nosey old goat and told her that we were doing showings by appointment only and gave her the agents card. She gave me a big story about how they used to live here and she would give just anything to have it back yada yada. It was truly one of those bizarre conversations that once it's over you question yourself about if it really happened. Mike came home and I told him and watched his face curl into a confused sort of look where it has stayed for a while. He was as baffled as I was.



Turns out that nosey old goat was serious! She has already put a call into our agent and is looking into buying the place back. We aren't sure how it will turn out but I am wondering if they do end up buying it back if I should also return their long lost porn to them, gift wrapped with a bow and a note "You left this here 8 years ago, glad we could return it"? After all they left it for us, shouldn't we return the favor?What would you do?

House search is going well. We have 2 that we really like/want. House selling is not going so well though. Cross your fingers for us.
