What Happens If You Don't Supervise Your Child's Lemonade Stand

My  9 and 11 year old were happily counting and dividing this huge pile of money.   I asked  "Where did you get all that money?"  Oh, they were happy kids!   The 11 year old said, "Well, the lemonade really wasn't selling..so we decided to take the lemonade to the people.  We knocked on all your friend's doors and asked them for money."

  5. LOL- Sounds like something my kids would have done! LOL One of our friends when he was a little boy would go to neighbors' houses and ask if they had any old purses they weren't using. The would rummage around and find one for him. He would open it up and then ask if they could put a little money in it for him...lol He is STILL a collector~ xo Diana

  6. lol- that is too funny! I guess they came up with a great way to make money. I had a neighbor's daughter knock on my door at 10:00 back in October asking me if I wanted to buy one her paintings (she was ten). I asked her to come back the next day- as it was late and I wasn't sure if her mom knew what she was up to- but she never came back!
