A couple a years back I got tired of writing checks to the IRS and after talking to my
CPA I decided to give something big away so I wouldn’t have to write those checks as
often. The biggest thing I was willing to give away was a school house in Kiven. Now it
looks like Kiven but you say it Kiven, Must be a town secrete. Well I’m from the south
and we cant just give something away with out gussying it up first. So on a Friday my
husband and I went to Kiven to hire some helpers to gussy it up. Now Kiven only has two
Business open on Fri evening. They are Cycles and Dereks both of them are beer joints.
At cicles I tried to find some one who wanted to work , not a sole did I find. So I
Picked up one of those paper place mates and wrote that I needed helpers at THE
SCHOOL be there SAT at 9:00 am I put the school because kiven only has one school
That’s the one I owned. I went down the street a block to Dereks and did the same thing.
We had to go to Shelby to sleep that night because Kiven didn’t have a hotel no bed and
breakfast not even a RV trailer park. Next morning we drove back to Kevin and waited
inside the school. My husband and I were starting to worry that no one in KEVIN needed
to work. When a green haired boy showed up. I have this thing about kids with tattoos
and funny hair I guess its my age. Well he was the only worker and I sure didn’t want to
sweep all day so I showed him around and explained all that needed to be done. He got
right to work. After 30 mins or so another young kid showed up so I pointed down the
hall to where the green haired kid was and told him to go ask him what to do. By now
I had made the green haired kid a foreman. What was I thinking. Another hour went by
when an older guy came by wanting to work, He was not the bright light on the tree. I’m
not sure he had a light on his tree. But I hired him and put him to work with you guessed
it the green haired boy. At lunch time I went to cicles to buy lunch for my new crew and
when I got back the mayor of Kiven showed up. I was hoping he needed work seeing
how the mayor might not make much money in a small town. NOPE he was there to see
if we might need to get into the dumpster area of town. I was very happy because I hadn’t
even thought that far out. Then he gave the keys to the green haired boy. Around 2pm
a coulpe showed up It was their son the second boy. I found out that they were just
checking on him and I found out why Kiven had such a school. THEY found oil in Kevin
and they had been watching too much Beverly Hill Billy they thought they were rich.
They built the school and then found out that the local kids wouldn’t go there. See the
boys of Kiven all had girl friend in Shelby and all the girls of Kiven had boy friends in
Shelby so no one wanted to change schools. The lessons we learn! I learned a new
respect for green haired kids.
