With Lemons Comes Small Change

Things sure has changed since I was a kid.  Something as simple as having a lemonade stand is now looked down upon in many areas.   Seems like the government needs to get their fingers in the pitcher.. so to say.  There are way to many laws that make something so simple as a lemonade stand complicated.  

I can remember having a lemonade or Koolaide stand, (which ever mom had handy).  We would put out a card table at the end of the yard and mom would bring out that pitcher of gold for us to sell.   For a nickle you could have a nice refreshing glass of cold liquid on a hot summers day.  As a kid after selling a few glasses you started to thing you were rolling in the dough!  Thanks to the neighbor kids and adults walking buy I would end up with maybe one dollar by the end of the day.  

Today it is very hard for kids to enjoy the simple way of making money with a lemonade stand.  I am not even sure if the kids today have the patients to sit at one unless they have a cell phone and can text! lol  I an sure that dollar I made would mean nothing to kids now a days.  They would have to sell a glass for a couple dollars at least. 

I hope that there are kids out there still having fun with a lemonade stand.  What better way to learn how to sell and earn money.
