When Life Gives You Lemonade, Make a Lemonade Stand

Today's guest blogger is Abigail:

We had a lemonade stand today. It was at the corner of our block. We made a sign and everything. We had to have a refill because Hillary, my younger sister, spilled it. It was pink lemonade, and we had ten cups. We had change, and the lemonade was 50¢. One guy gave us one dollar, and he wanted one glass of lemonade, and he said, "Hold the change." We had a mini-table with an umbrella and mini-chairs. Every time a car went by, we shouted, "Lemonade for 50¢! Buy it while it's cold!" We got our first customer; that was the guy with the dollar. He was a student-driver; the sign was on the back of the car. The people at the lemonade stand were the three sisters--Suzanna, Abigail, and Hillary--and our friends Lucinda and Brooke. We were in our swimming suits the whole time. We made $5.35!

  1. what great "entrepenuers", would you consider opening a stand in Mandan? When Arron was four, him and a couple of the neighborhood kids set up a Kool-aid stand. They forgot to put sugar in the Kool-aid, so it definately wasn't very good. They decided to persue other careers after that!

  2. Just wondering if the proper amount of taxes were reported?

  3. I'll have to ask Hillary about that. To colebrate her maturing on her 6th birthday today, she's been re-reading the tax code.
