It's a business that the whole family can be involved in.

I'm so looking forward to her next hookup with Joe the Plumber. They can do a lounge act on the Amtrak barcar and sing "Reunited (and It Feels So Good)."

Ah Sarah, still flogging that Mayberry vision of America. Good luck with that. Where I grew up, and where 80% of Americans live, a lemonade stand is an invitation for older kids to beat you up and steal your dimes. Youknow: those neighborhoods where a bit of community organizing actually can improve safety and health.

Tell ya what, though. You keep on preaching those creamy white Small Town RealAmerica(TM) values. With a bit of effort, you might carry Wyoming for the Teapers. Unless, of course, they have a blizzard or a price war or something and need the government's help.

<i>"It taught these boys that it was unacceptable and self-defeating to keep coming back to mama for more money for ingredients needed to concoct a product to sell to the public."</i>

Mama has a way to shut that whole thing down.

Obviously she charged rent for use of the front lawn, table, chairs.

Who pays for the ingredients in the product she's concocted to sell to the public? Bullshit ain't free lady. Just sayin'.

I always buy candy and whatnot from kids who come to the door. They're part of an Important Scientific Study to discover how crappy you can make candy before people will not buy it.

Her son (Trick, Skyclad, Butterchurn?) learned so well he went on to (allegedly) tamper with the brakes on a Wasilla school bus, leading to a change of school and eventual enlistment into Our Country's Finest Cannon Fodder.

You know something? The profits on the lemonade stand are nearly 100% when you view it as a charity instead of a business! I still remember that realization dawning on me when I was nine.

Ah ha! I knew it! Walter White is still alive and spends time making snarky comments. Pretty cool how you faked your death on tee-vee.

Her economics acumen could fit on the head of pin which she could prick herself with.
