http://people.bakersfield.com/home/Blog/tchudilowsky/29244 Going to yard sales is fun. I love it. Here's my only thing to complain about... People..If you see a child selling lemonade or sodas or a couple dime toys, please buy it from them. What the hell is one quarter gonna set ya back? If I see those cute little smiling faces beaming up at me from over a lemonade stand table I'm a softy. I buy a cup. I don't usually drink it but I am very polite and dispose of it outta site from the little sellers :-) The reason I am even saying anything is... Well, our neighborhood had its &quot;annual&quot; yard sales. Lots and lots of sales! My 8 year old daughter wanted and just begged to set up a lemonade stand. I let her. She had that along with sodas. Then she made cute, really cute, grab bags for either girl or boy. She sat at her own beautifully decorated table and was beaming! How stinking disappointing for most to walk right on by without even acknowledging her. Our street is very nice. Our house is very nice. Our things were neat and clean. And my daughter is beautiful! Smiled the whole time! So I'm positive that wasn't the problem. Slowly but Shirley she was becoming&nbsp;disappointed. Now I'm a mom so I side with the kids here I know but...she really worked hard and was sure she would be a hit! It was kinda sad to see. She did sell some things and still had a blast! I say good for her! Good for ANY kid that is willing to go through that :-) Maybe have some fun and make a child selling lemonade happy :-) It will make their day!
