Just 2 nights ago we met up with friends from Kentucky here in Boston. We were just walking back to our car after getting some ice cream. As we were walking there was a 10 year old boy selling lemonade on the sidewalk. Well...I have a weakness for little children and their lemonade stands...I just can not walk by it without having a guilty conscience. Yes, it is a weakness.
So I pulled out a dollar and told him that we wanted two lemonades. And he responded, "Well, that will be another dollar..."
ANOTHER DOLLAR. He didn't even have lemons in his instant lemonade, and they were small cups!
I guess the higher prices in Boston even go as far as a little kids lemonade stand... has our economy gotten THAT bad? No, I don't think so. I just ran into a very business savvy 10 year old :)
Well...he ended up giving me "2 for the price of one"
Maybe next time I won't feel as guilty walking by without buying?
PROBABLY NOT :)
