Allie seems obsessed lately with running her business. Yes, I'm talking about her lemonade stand (newly expanded yesterday). She started her business two weeks ago and had good initial results, cut short by a spell of bad weather. Last weekend, she went out on both Saturday and Sunday and raked in some more cash. She stood out on our corner for a good two and a half hours, waving at potential customers, dancing and talking to herself when there were none, and being polite when someone stopped by. Her cups of kool-aid were $.25 and she frequently got $.75 tips.
This week, her daddy suggested expanding her product line and she grabbed on to the idea like a true entrepreneur. So yesterday morning, between conversations about her supply of "Product," we baked and frosted cupcakes and added sprinkles. In about an hour and a half (before more storms rolled in), she sold 8. We had made 24, and later in the day, she got upset when her daddy and me said we wanted one for dessert. She got a lecture about the importance of family over the importance of "Product."
Today, it's barely 70 degrees outside and even "the businesswoman" agrees that it's too cold for people to want to buy lemonade. To say she is disappointed is a huge understatement. I'm thinking when I lose my job, I'll just rely on her earnings!
