He's Like Trump, But With MUCH Better Hair.

Braden has been drooling over Star Wars toys and lego sets he sees in the magazines that arrive at our house every other month. I quickly tired of him asking repeatedly whether or not I had a job for him, so I suggested he go set up a lemonade stand for the construction workers across the street. A little light bulb went off over his head (I swear I saw it) and he said," I could sell them soda or water on really hot days!'

So we went to Sam's Club and he picked out water, Gatorade, and Coke. For every can he sells, he pays me the cost, and pockets the profit. HE's been biding his time, waiting for the perfect weather to arrive before he started selling.

This week the weather has been in the upper 80s to 90s. I wondered how he'd do, because it's pretty hot and muggy. For the past 3 days he has set up his stand just before the construction workers' break. He hauls out a card table, a chair, a sign with prices listed, and the cooler filled with drinks. He'll sit out in the sun for 45 minutes to an hour, and hasn't complained yet. So far he's made nearly $9.00 in profit, and he's very proud of himself.

He's saving for his first purchase: a Star Wars 3 Wookie ray gun.........for Brogan.
