As Kevin and I drove through the mountains on our way to our favorite get away spot, we were flagged down by a group of kids in bathing suits, standing in their parents lawn with a big ol' sign that said LEMONADE. Probably made with Crayloa markers. The scented kind.
We pulled over and jumped out of the car only to be swamped by three foot humans, telling us this was the best lemonade we would ever have. We asked the oldest boy who seemed to be in charge, how much it would cost for two lemonades. He quoted us 75 cents each and after a moment's pause to allow mental math, we were told our grand total was $1.50. We handed the designated accountant three and told her to keep the change. I've never seen kids so excited over three dollars.
Watching the pure excitement of children has side effects. Some of which might include:
* positive endorphins released from the ingestion of the Best Lemonade You'll Ever Have
* a thinner wallet, but a fuller smile
* buying local which supports the local economy
* unexpected and sudden memories of your own childhood
Support your local Lemonade Stand.
Till next time,
