Granddaughter tried to sell her grandmother on eBay
Now children, tired of annoying grandmothers, are trying to get rid of them with the help of an online auction.
Ten-year-old Zoe Pemberton from Clacton in Essex (United Kingdom) put her 61-year-old grandmother Marian Goodall up for auction at Ebay, hoping to get at least 99 pence for her.
The girl described her grandmother as “annoying” and “annoying”, but, at the same time, called her “pleasant” and prone to doing crossword puzzles. As the guilty grandmother confesses, she did not let her watch TV and pestered her with a request to bring a drink. It was at this moment in the child's head that the thought “to place” the grandmother as a lot on eBay arose.
“I don’t know how much we could get for her, maybe 99 pence,” Zoe said in the description. “But she does crossword puzzles very well. She can handle them in ten minutes. ” Thomas (Zoe's father) said that everything happened because of a small quarrel between a grandmother and granddaughter: “But in general, they love each other.” In addition, parents could not even assume that their daughter has sufficient knowledge of computer technology in order to use the online auction.

However, despite the large number of bets on Mrs. Goodall, the owners of eBay decided to remove the lot from the auction in view of the moral and ethical restrictions in the rules of trading at auction.
“Obviously, we have rules prohibiting the sale of people,” a spokeswoman for eBay said. - "Therefore, we had to remove the lot, but it was quite funny, because there were a number of offers to buy." (And in vain, because by the time of closing the lot for the grandmother they offered about £ 20,000, approx. Lane ).
A spokeswoman added: “Yes, we do receive such offers from time to time.”
In general, this simple and funny fact makes you wonder.
