One day a few weeks ago, Mylie asked me if she could do a "concession stand" on the side of the road. Our road is just a lane into our ranch, which has four houses on it, and very little traffic other than the family coming and going. I was busy that day and told her to go for it. She decided to sell bread (fresh from the Wonder bag) and water (fresh from our faucet). I was happy about this, since I didn't need to help her at all. Before long, she had made $2 from just three sales--to Grandma and Grandpa, an aunt, and a great uncle. She was so excited about making some money, and when Connor got home from school, they went at it again! This time they sold some fresh garden vegetables that they picked themselves. By the end of the evening, they each had a few dollars. I figured that their customers may have been overpaying a bit, and that fact was confirmed several days later, when I finally read the prices hung on the fence. In Connor's handwriting, the paper read:
1 ceret for 50 (cent sign)
1 pee for 10 (cent sign)
Talk about ROBBERY! (And I got a little giggle about the "pee" part. Made me think of my trip to Mexico, where you actually DO have to pay to take a pee. Haha.)
