Young Entrepreneurs: Where's the Lemonade Stand?

My daughters and their friend were playing in our backyard this weekend and noticed that our lemon tree was ripe for picking. Needless to say, they immediately found a bucket and picked a whole bunch of lemons. Then they pulled the batch into the kitchen and set up a very detailed and complicated process for turning those lemons into lemonade. They even had sophisticated roles such as "head taster" and "master squeezer", so that everyone felt involved.


Once the lemonade was ready, I was kind of hoping they would bring out the table and sell the goodies to the neighbors, but they opted for a typical girlie tea party instead, and drank all the produce themselves... well, maybe next time they will take the more entrepreneurial route. We'll see.
