There's Nothing Like Warm Lemonade on a Hot Summer Day

Yes, I said WARM lemonade. There is a cute little girl who lives right by us and she frequently sets up a lemonade stand. Her stand is WAY better than the cardboard sign and card table I used as a kid. Anyways, I felt bad because all summer long I've been driving by this diligent little girl and I never stopped to buy any lemonade. (I did wave though.) So today, after driving by her stand twice, I decided to walk over and buy some lemonade. I figured I could drink it on my short walk home and feel refreshed from the hot sun. Now this little girl had not only lemonade, but key chains and Domino coupon cards as well. Plus, the lemonade was already poured and sitting out in the cups. Sure, that means it's all ready to go, but it also means it's warm. I asked her how much for the lemonade, she said, "Well, it's 50 cents, but for you it's only 25." Sweet! Little girl likes me and I get a discount. Don't worry, I still paid her the entire 50 cents. (It's actually 50 cents for adults and 25 cents for kids ... Smart little girl, huh? Everyone knows that adults have more money, most of them anyways.) I picked up my cup of warm lemonade and started to walk away. Before I left she said, "Just so you know, you get a free lemonade when you buy a Domino's card." Wow, what a little business woman! I asked how much the Domino's cards were, "They're $10. But my dad only paid $1 for each one so it's a great deal for us!" Ha,ha, I'm pretty sure you're not supposed to tell your customers that. I just smiled and told her I didn't have that much cash, which I really didn't. Maybe when Mitch gets home we'll go back. And Mitch can drink the free glass of warm lemonade that is included with our purchase of our very own Domino's card. That cracks me up. While the lemonade was warm, it was PINK lemonade, which I prefer over regular. Plus, I put it in the freezer when I got home and it got cold really fast.

My question is, did Mitch drink his free lemonade? One day she may be quite the business woman, if she doesnt tell all the secrets. So cute to here of other parents having there kids outside in the summer. Enough with the electronic entertainment. Cute Blog!!!
