FINANCIAL GAIN




I am so thankful for our neighbors and the fun stuff they involve my kids in. And I get to just sit there and be a curious onlooker (no, it's not laziness, it's curiousness). This day they decided to have a lemonade stand/ yard sale. The lemonade cost 50 cents and the toys varied in price. Jaydie, seeing his chance for financial gain, got into his toy box and pulled out all kinds of junk, I mean finely crafted items, to sell. And while our neighbor was raising money for a missionary, our Jaydie was raising money for his first car (that he will need in ten to fifteen years). If that isn't an entrepreneur in the making I don't know what is. It wasn't very widely advertised so I think Jaydie ended up coming home with all his junk plus a quarter. Not bad for his first day of business.
I'm just now seeing that I was totally ripped off for the 12 glasses of lemonade I bought. They were charging me 50 not 25. Can't get much past me. Tarp as a shack!!

Oh my word...this is so hysterical!! You must put this in book form and sell it. That would raise money for the car, right?
