C is for Could she be any Cuter?

A few days ago, Rowan wanted to have a Lemonade Stand. Of course, I'm never prepared for anything fun, so she had to settle for a Water stand. Which, I tried to convince her would have the neighborhood kids running for their piggy banks.

Turns out, piggy banks weren't really needed. Rowan has her own ideas about pricing. It's possible she misunderstood what I meant when I was explaining the "free market"
to her.


Of course, her generousity doesn't stop with the neighborhood kids.




She decided to use her "water" stand to collect money for charity for "poor people". Those are her words. Seriously. Could she be any sweeter? I love this kid and her big heart.

It was a great day for Rowan! She was thrilled when the neighborhood kids came to be her "customers". She "sold" three bottles of water, and collected about $1.30 thanks to her daddy and several of the kids who ran home to get change when they saw her basket. It was The. Sweetest. Thing. Ever. :) :)



Chuck & I shared a little laugh over her excitement at her $1.30 and all it would do for the "poor people" until we realized that that's $1.30 more than we've collected for charity lately. It's no small thing to teach a child. And it's certainly no small thing to learn from one.

she is too cute. see Republican kids care about the poor. now if she were a liberal kid, she'd give half that $$ to the government, creating 45 positions for new bureaucrats, and then about 4% of the money intended for the poor would get to the poor.

do i need a break from politics or what?

she's awesome, stacey!!

I'm gonna ignore Melanie's liberal remarks LOL

She is such a doll. I love the way she is so 'in the know' about the issues and wants to do something about it.

She has a great example :)
