Emma is always concocting plans for making money. Today she actually carried out one of her plans. She made a little book, photocopied it, and set up a sidewalk store where she offered the fruits of her labor for sale at $2 apiece. Yes, $2 apiece. She's smooth. People would think, "oh that's cute," come over to the curb, and then find out the books were $2. By then it was too late, they couldn't say no or they'd look like chumps.
Sophie decided to make some books too, and give them away for free. It didn't affect Emma's sales, though.
At one point there weren't very many cars coming by. Emma only had one more book to sell, and asked me if she could go door to door to sell it. (Conversation: "What are you going to do when you knock on people's door?" "Well I'm going to stand there and wait for them to open it.") Right at that moment, some customers walked by and bought her last book.
Total profits: $6 and a skittle. She's going to save the money until her birthday; the skittle was immediately consumed.
Her brothers were dumbfounded by the entire affair.

Hey Emma, how about a loan?
well really - who could resist that face? mom
I'm thinking Emma gets a lot of that from various people in her line... the cute face from Lauren and Ginger.
too funny!! my girls have been known to wash rocks and resell them, tear apart tangerines and sell each piece individually--draw pictures and sell them--good times!
