band-aid stand??



One day I was driving to work and it was pouring down rain... & as I pull up to the Goulder's (family I work for) house, I saw the most bizarre thing! three girls across the street were having a lemonade stand in the pouring rain!!

the three of them sat there huddled together under a huge umbrella that also had a towel hanging from it on the other side.. every once in awhile one of them would pop there head out as they heard a car driving by informing them of what they were selling and how much it cost.

I walked over to the girls & I asked them, "What in the world are you doing out here in the rain?" they replied, "we are comfortable! & we are selling candy and popsicles for 5 cents! we have sold more candy today then we did yesterday when it wasn't raining!" I couldn't help but laugh :) I told them I admired them for their dedication and wished them the best of luck with the rest of their sales and then ran inside...

Later the oldest Alex came in the house & i asked him if he saw the girls who were sitting out there in the rain selling candy & he was like, "what? there selling candy?? YES! I am going to go get some right now!" he was gone for abt 5 minutes and then returned empty handed. I asked him, "what happened?" he answered me saying, "oh they ran out of candy". I responded, "Oh I'm sorry thats too bad, what are they selling now?" He answered, "Band-aids".

hahaha kids crack me up! not only were they sitting in the pouring rain but they were selling band-aids lol when I was little i once sold painted rocks with my friend across the street but never band-aids :)
