Interviews with Three Entrepreneurs

Yesterday the kids got to fulfill a lifelong (well, at least couple of year-long anyway) dream and set-up a lemonade stand. We weren't sure how it would go but decided to try while Gabriella and Aunt Shannon were here to help. The girls and I baked cookie bars and got them ready to sell and all 3 kids helped make the lemonade. The girls worked hard on the sign and did a great job!


Aunt Shannon helped man the table (in 97 degree weather! Bless her!!) and they were out for just under an hour. According to Shannon, the first 15 minutes were pretty sad. No customers and the kids were all very upset. But once customers started rolling in the kids were all smiles. Here is the experience according to them:

Did you have fun selling cookies and lemonade?
Seth: Yes!
Katey: Yeah but it was a little hot.
Gabriella: Yes. But actually we didn't have fun at the first part but then we did.

What was the best part?
S: Holding out the cookie bars and showing them
K: Hmmm. I say it was hmmm giving cookie bars and lemonade to people and pouring lemonade and receiving money.
G: Hmmm. Giving it to people and (getting) the money.

Was it hot?
S: YES!
K: BURNING!! At least 1000 degrees!
G: YES!

How much money did you make?
S: $15
K: I made $5
G: $5
(Note, the kids made $15 total - so $5 each!)

What are you going to do with your part of the earnings?
S: I might buy some stuff at Target with it.
K: Only keep $.25 and donate the rest for an orphanage in Mexico
G: I don't know

Do you think you'll do another sale?
S: Yeah.
K: Yup. Next time maybe we can make donuts and sell them in the morning for breakfast.
G: Yup.
