Used Goods

My husband, a notorious neat freak, suddenly developed a passion for second-hand goods. He even joined our neighborhood’s online buy-and-sell group.

He spent his days rushing to other people's apartments, collecting all sorts of used baby items. From diapers to strollers, he crammed them into the nursery until it was overflowing.

He was so obsessed that when I collapsed from a sudden, sharp pain in my abdomen, he couldn't even be bothered to come home.

"Honey, I'm in the middle of haggling with someone," he'd said over the phone.
