The two teens

Kudos to the two teenage girls who stopped by our kids lemonade/cookie stand last Saturday. Isaiah and his friend Billy set up at the corner of C and Central, in front of our house, and weren't getting many customers. (They had better luck the previous weekend.)

Anyway, it'd been about an hour or so since their last customer. Isaiah's mother and I were feeling a little bad for the kiddos. We were about to tell them to pack it in for the day when a car pulled up and out popped two teenage girls. (Mom and I were watching between the blinds from inside the house) I didn't recognized them, but they certainly were cheerful and friendly to the kids.

The girls smiled and asked questions as the boys sprang into action. Isaiah handed over cookies on a napkin. Billy carefully poured cups of lemonade. Isaiah studied hard to make the right change.

Perhaps the teens were really thirsty and hungry, but I got the feeling that they also wanted to help out a couple of good kids learning about life. Perhaps the girls operated a lemonade stand or two, and felt a tug toward memory lane.

The girls said goodbye and got into their cars, probably off for some fun on a Saturday night. They certainly helped make my day.

One of the basic rules in life...always stop and buy from a kid selling lemon-ade on the street.
