So the neighbours' daughter decided to run a lemonade stand yesterday, and it drew a steady stream of kids (whenever I looked out the window I never saw fewer than 4 or 5 kids milling about). She ran it from noon all the way until 6 o'clock, at which point she had to leave for supper and handed the reigns over to the girls from across the street. The girls from across the street successfully ran it for the next 15-20 minutes until they were called back inside, at which point they hand over the reigns the neighbourhood boys. One minute later the boys had chugged down the remaining stock (one almost full pitcher) and were running around the front lawn giggling and sugar buzzed.
