Want to buy some lemonaide?
This weekend we pooled all our "stuff" we no longer wanted and had a yard sale at Susie's. Even though there had been threats of rain that morning we ployed ahead. Things went pretty good and we were all selling pretty good when I realized I was missing a $20 bill. Barry had given someone change and somehow the $20 was missing. Well, we went on. Then a man said, "Wow you are so lucky, I heard it was suppose to be a downpour." Not one minute latter "plop" I felt something drop on my face. They all ran around covering things. I ran in the house as I was giving Hudson a bottle and didn't want him to get wet. Just as everything was covered it stopped and never rained the rest of the day. We quit around noon and went on the deck to count our cash. That's when Barry remembered he had given that missing $20 to Franks dad as we needed to pay him for something he did for us. But then Ryan couldn't find her bag of money. We searched all over and finally found it in some of the stuff she didn't sell and was taking home. Your asking, "What about the lemonaide?" Avery and Kaden had a lemonaide stand. Mind you Avery is 3, Kaden is 4. Avery put all the money they made in his pocket at closing time and could not grasp the idea that they were in business together and must split the profits. Finally but reluctantly he gave Kaden half. Then comes time for all the bargaining of each others things we hadn't sold. I took a paint roller Ryan had that was marked $3. Ryan took a container I had for 25 cents. Then Ryan took something I had that was $3, and something her mother had. Susie took something Ryan had. And the rest went to "Ruff" a place where poor little doggies are taken when no one wants them anymore. But here, finally is the jest of my story. I had this little fury mouse for my computer mouse that I had for sale for maybe a quarter. Avery liked it and wanted to buy it. I told him he could have it but he kept saying, "I got money." I told him " Honey, you can have it." He said again, "I got money." So I thought okay lets do it. I told him he could buy it. He proudly pulled a penny out of his pocket and handed it to me. I said, "Thank you and come back to see us." He said, "Your welcome." He had this look on his face so serious. He had just made a purchase just like all the people that came to our yard sale. He was a customer.
