Young Twins Were Having Trouble Selling Their Huge Teddy Bear. And Then, Angelina Jolie Showed Up.

Have you ever had a yard sale? I have. It’s not really as fun as it looks. You look around your house, kids’ rooms, garage, or attic and realize you have tons of stuff you never use. The kids have definitely outgrown those toys. If it’s not on a smartphone, they’re probably not going to miss it. So, you gather up all of those clothes, toys, outdated electronics, knick-knacks, and tools that you’re never going to use. Maybe you even offer for your neighbors to join in the fun. You pick a day, most likely a Saturday, and hang “Yard Sale” signs all over your neighborhood. When the day arrives, you carefully place everything in the yard, priced to sell. Then, one of two things happens: it rains or it’s so blistering hot that no one shows up; certainly not a celebrity. You pack everything up andd take it to the Goodwill like you should have done in the first place.

When these two young boys outgrew their enormous 8 1/2 foot tall teddy bear, their Dad though it would be a good idea for them to learn some entrepreneurship. He sent them outside, in the sun and the heat, to sell the bear. They were only asking $50 (obviously a good deal on a practically life-sized teddy bear) but were willing to take less. After about an hour of waiting, a pristine white Cadillac pulls up to the curb. And then Angelina Jolie steps out. That’s right. ANGELINA JOLIE and Shiloh stopped to buy the bear.

Perhaps the funniest part is that the twin boys had absolutely no idea who she was. They were just glad to get that bear sold. She was polite, gracious, and of course, she was beautiful. The all struggled to stuff the enormous bear into her trunk. Then, when she found out what the boys were asking for the bear, she gave them both $50! Alright kids, the lesson we learned today is that when you sell things on the side of the road, sometimes beautiful movie stars show up to buy them.
