Aling Baby thanks for pushing this mobile lemonade stand my way. I have read a lot about lemonade stands in books growing up. Remember Charlie Brown and the Lemonade stand? Is that really about the entrepreneurial spirit of Americans even as young as 7 to 13, or some bald kid having some issues about his baldness? This feels so American. I never even had Lemonade juice before I moved here in the States. And quite frankly my dear, Calamansi juice ranks higher on my juicing scale. And who said kids in the Philippines don’t have their entreprenurial drive? Our Pinoy kids sold iced-candies in little styrofoam boxes with who-knows-what-or-where they got the ingredients from. Check out the murkiness of the popsicle and make a wild guess.

Today, I don’t see lemonade stands here anymore. First, it’s the Fall season, no one wants to thread in snow, freeze their butts off just to earn 50 cents, that’s two glasses, one from the local psycho and the other cup is sold to the dad that that requires some forcible persuasion by throwing a fit before he shells his last 25 cents.

The next bad news for the Lemonade stock market are bad stalkers. Read: Child Predators. With the news of bad news on the 6 o’clock news, no wants their kids trotting along the sidewalks anymore. It’s just to scary to think of the worst when your kids were only distracted by a squirrel down the road. Who will be brave enough to push their products in these findings in the lemonade market research?

Lastly, there are other ways to earn more money for these kids. One time, I got offered with pledges: my dollar to one mile walk. That doesn’t mean this kid will do all the walking. The kid walks half a mile and let Mom and Dad do the 9 and a half miles while carrying them on their backs. Talk about highway robbery. They can even sell you credit cards under the guise of helping their school. Yup, when it’s time for you to pay up, they’ll be looking at you with their cute doe eyes while you slowly drown in the quicksand of debt. Whatever.

There’s this one kid I know, 15 years old mind you, can build a computer from ground up. Sputters technical terms I could not even pronounce.

I am getting old.

I guess i better exercise. Drink more lemonade–There goes my diabetes! Gossip with other people my age. Shop and splurge. I’ve been around kids too long.

Hindi ako lumaking laging nanonood ng sine sa sinehan. Di naman gasinong istrikto ang mga magulang ko at lagi naman akong pinapabaunan kapag nanghingi o kaya mahuli akong nangungupit sa wallet nila. Kaya lang na-phobia yata ako sa sinehan. Eto ang salaysayin:
