Salad for Sale

Today, after being inspired by some young children with a lemonade stand, my boys decided they would sell some salad. Salad? Who would buy salad? They came and asked me to make a sign for them. I made the sign after they told me it was just for pretend. Then as soon as I handed Zach the sign he went outside and started yelling "Salad for sale." Nathan was nudging him to go down to the street to advertise. I had to stop them at that point. We don't even have any salad in the house to sell. I told them we didn't have any salad and then they pointed down to two salads they have made from the bushes outside. Interesting. Maybe I should bake some cookies or bread and let them have a real stand. Unfortunately for them, we don't live on a high traffic street.

Maybe I have 3 little entrepreneurs in the house, referring of course to Erin and all her little business ideas. I just hope one of them makes a lot of money to support Mario and I in retirement since we are watching our retirement accounts dwindle because of this financial mess our country is facing right now.
