Kyler decided to sell Slushies near the street after he defied orders and bought a Sponge Bob slushie maker at a garage sale down the street. He snuck out of the house with his piggy bank after they had already bought army men. I should have confiscated it at that point, but I'm a softie.
Besides, selling slushies was a good idea and I didn't want to squash my budding entrepreneur. I think the bee's were the kids biggest customers and in about five minutes they had two trapped under glasses. Seeing furious bees in clear glasses trying to get out probably didn't help sales. I bought the first slushie, then I sent Kelby out with a quarter to buy the second one. I think we were his only customers. Then Kiefer came in so I offered a quarter to him to go buy a slushie. After all, we can' t have a five year old's first business crash and burn in two hours, can we? Kiefer says, "I already bought one." I said, "So you took a quarter and gave it to Kyler on your own?" thinking, wow, he is finally being unselfish and trying to help his brother out by giving up a quarter of his own. Kiefer says "yes Dad." So I tell him he did a good thing and he should be proud. "Thanks Dad" Kiefer says as he is running out the door. Just before the door slams I hear "Oh, I got the quarter from your truck!"
