THE KIDS DOWN THE STREET HAD A STAND SET UP SELLING VEGETABLES FROM THEIR GARDEN ONE DAY....WE STOPPED TO BUY SOMETHING FROM THEM. MY BOYS DECIDED THEY WANTED TO HAVE A VEGETABLE STAND....I EXPLAINED TO THEM THAT WE DIDNT HAVE A GARDEN BUT WE COULD HAVE A LEMONADE STAND ONE DAY. THEY KEPT AFTER ME FOR DAYS. FINALLY, I CAVED AND BOUGHT ALL OF THE STUFF, SET UP THE TABLE, MADE THE POSTER, AND GOT OUT THE UMBRELLA. MY FEAR WAS THAT NOONE WOULD COME SO I TEXT ALL OF MY FRIENDS TO STOP BY THAT DAY. WHAT WE THOUGHT WOULD BE A LITTLE LEMONDADE FUN, TURNED INTO A 37.00 PROFIT FOR MY BOYS. THEY LOVED IT!! THEY HAD LOTS OF CUSTOMERS AND GOT LOTS OF TIPS. WHAT A GREAT TIME!! WE EVEN HAD OUR PRETEND CASH REGISTER OUT THERE. IT WAS A GOOD LESSON IN COUNTING MONEY FOR MILES TOO. I WILL NEVER FORGET IT.
