Looks like we have a trend going.
Oldest daughter has gone into mourning because she has been informed that after Labor Day she will have to turn her stand over to her partner in crime (the fourteen year old neighbor girl who supplies the eggs). Oldest daughter is now campaigning to be home schooled as well.

They have decided to become tycoons and this is only the first step in a plan that includes going to Wharton.

As the parents we say they are going to have to sell a LOT of eggs and tomatoes to pay that tuition.

"They have decided to become tycoons and this is only the first step in a plan that includes going to Wharton."

So it appears that information on the Internet is good enough to convince people that an education at Wharton is worth considerable expense, but no one seems to wonder how much of an education one could receive from information on the Internet.

Perhaps we should not have let them read "The Art of the Deal". :)

As we have been informed, you do not go just for the education, you go for the connections.

Since they are 11 and 14 as the parents we nod and tell them they will need top grades, a record of community service and they will have to cover a lot of the expenses themselves because we are simple working class people.

The stand has mostly kept them out of mischief all summer.

And they have made enough money that they will both have to file income tax returns.

I figure that little life lesson is going to be very valuable.

Good job on the three!!

Sounds like the entrepreneurial spirit is alive and well in your neck of the woods!

Homeschooling isn’t that bad. I mean, they can’t pick up any bad habits from their classmates, can they?

Yes, they will need to sell LOTS of eggs and tomatoes to get to Wharton!

What a precious little face!

Good morning.

I hope you slept well with no pillow cat.

This is me, waiting for the water to heat up again. *sigh*

Good morning. I did have the pillow cat, unfortunately. On the other hand, I knew where he was!

Good morning. Happy Friday!

We have cool temperatures again. It must be global climate change. Nobody here seems to be upset about it.

Once more on the 4 train.

And it wasn't under the neighbor's shed!

Sorry about that.
