I will go ahead and apologize to any of you who might have gotten a telemarketing call from a certain small voiced entrepreneur this weekend who decided to set up a little shop in her room.
It seems that it is rather difficult to sit back and watch your older brothers and sisters get paying jobs and not get bit by the money making bug.
So, said child arranged and tagged many of her belongings and then started calling people. My friends. Unbeknownst to me.
Of course she scored big when she called Holly. Somehow she convinced Miss Holly to buy a 25% off coupon for $2.00. Actually she convinced Holly to buy two of these highly valuable coupons... one for her and one for her 16 year old daughter.
Because you know that a grown woman and a teenage girl will find lots of very desirable merchandise in a 9 year old's room. Good thing they have those 25% off coupons.
They are sure to have a difficult time picking just a few things. What between all the stuffed animals, the deck of 47 cards, the blow pop that she only licked 4 times and then wrapped back up, and the shell that the hermit crab grew out of. (Yes, there is another one of those dangling prepositions.)
We are talking serious shopping dilemmas.
Of course her Daddy thought her little shop idea was sheer brilliance and encouraged the whole thing by buying her a bonafide cash register. Also, unbeknownst to me.
A fancy plastic cash register from the Target. Y'all Holly and I don't even have a fancy plastic Target cash register to carry to our conferences where we sell books. Whole books with no pages missing.
Of course maybe I could buy one of those 25% off coupons and use it to buy that little cash register at a discount.
So, she still hasn't risen up to call me blessed yet. But she sure does have the part of Proverbs 31 down where she considers her loot and sells it and out of her earnings she buys a fancy plastic cash register from the Target.
Or something like that.
