There is a man that has knocked on our door twice selling a magnificent cleaning product. Maybe its' magnificent, he wasn't very convincing. It supposedly removes ink from cloth, he showed me himself, but I can't be sure that was a true ink pen he used. He's really pathetic, I even wonder if he's homeless. I can tell he's been told 'no thanks' many times by the way he turns to leave after every few words.
The first time it was easy, I had students arriving and I could say "sorry, I'm busy" and close the door. But the second time I was stuck. He remembered me as the music teacher, his daughter even plays viola*. I also happened to have stain remover on my grocery list. Lastly, his product has only a small number of ingredients in it, one of them being citrus. They were all the criteria I had in my head, I had no excuses. The only issue is his product was rather pricey, although it's meant to be concentrate. Jbird says he's a great sales man. I say we don't give enough money away to people in need. I'd much rather pay this sad man than one standing at the lights with a sign. Anyway, I really do need a stain remover, I'm sick of not quite being able to get stains out of clothes with my baking soda recipe. I hope he uses the money well.
*I didn't tell him that I play the viola before he told me that, I promise.
