My daughter(6 yrs old) has been begging me to let her sell lemonade. Lemons are 2 for a dollar over here and she said she plans to sell the lemonade for 5cents.<BR/><BR/>KK<BR/>mygoodfinds.orgMyGoodFindshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05968545438753781823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8838173868484267731.post-89702255259772056372008-05-25T20:35:00.000-05:002008-05-25T20:35:00.000-05:00I'm glad I'm not the only who is astonished by peo...I'm glad I'm not the only who is astonished by people not stopping for lemonade stands!

Wow! You had a more unique stand. Bats liking the fruity drinks, huh? hehe<BR/><BR/>All Things BD - The boys were putting the lemonade in huge plastic cups too, not tiny, pathetic ones. It was definitely worth the $.50. lol <BR/><BR/>Uberburber - The boys were so excited when people stopped, I agree, and I wanted to run out there and make every person stop. lol Scary, I know! <BR/><BR/>Giggles - really, no lemonade stands in Australia?! You're going to have to start something new with your belly bean then when he/she gets older. <BR/><BR/>Tranny Head - I agree, lame people. One day, Sumo baby will want to sell lemonade and you will want people to stop. :o)<BR/><BR/>Jeff - We were in the 90's this weekend ourselves. It was HOT. You're awesome for being willing to buy so much! Thanks! lol<BR/><BR/>Andrea - Don't feel guilty, just stop next time you see one. Do they do lemonade stands in Germany? I hope you have a wonderful trip to Texas!<BR/><BR/>Cherrye - No customers would have been sad. That's funny about your sister selling candy. We have lots of kids selling boy scout popcorn or girlscout cookies, and I always feel obligated to support them and buy at least one thing. I like to support kids doing good activities, you know? Maybe I'm a sucker...Rheahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11027061380778030388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8838173868484267731.post-3224401210988486412008-05-22T06:46:00.000-05:002008-05-22T06:46:00.000-05:00Laura - Thanks for being willing to buy lemonade! ...Laura - Thanks for being willing to buy lemonade! I couldn't believe how many people passed us without stopping.<BR/><BR/>Kat - It is the experience, you're right. The boys saw how much it cost to buy the lemonade, what went into getting it ready, deciding how much to sell it for, etc. It was fun. That's funny about the kids wanting a different house where the lemonade selling was better. hehe<BR/><BR/>Gypsy Heart - I'm so glad you were able to post! I don't know why it hasn't been going through. That's frustrating! I love sidewalk chalk too, such a fun way to express ourselves.<BR/><BR/>Kiera - Thank you for being willing to buy lemonade too! Glad you enjoyed the post. <BR/><BR/>GoMommy - I thought that was wonderful they had options. Most people wanted to Crystal Light, too, since it was less calories..and it actually tasted great.<BR/><BR/>Angie - I know, people do forget what it's like. Shame, shame, shame on them!!
