Free Lemonade

June 4th, 2009 · Uncategorized

Children blow my mind! I have been telling mine each day that I am grateful they let me be their mama and lucky to have them as my teachers.

On Saturday a neighbor came over with a bucket of lemonade mix. Emily in all her wisdom said “Mom, can we have a lemonade stand.” Of course!

We made lemonade and set her up with a table and chair (half way down the driveway where she felt comfortable). When the first customer came she got a bit shy and needed my help. I poured the drinks and asked how much it costs? “Free Mom”.

What if, just imagine we could all set up a lemonade stand and charge nothing??? (she made 3 dollars by the end of the hour just by being so cute)!. I look to my 5 and 7 year olds when I need to learn something!
