David the Entrepreneur

I am amazed at how David is becoming a little businessman. Today he asked me if when the leaves start to fall he could open up his own leaf raking business. I told him sure! Yesterday, he went over to our neighbors house and offered to pick all of her dandelions for $10. She agreed! He spent about an hour and picked every one of them. The funny thing is that halfway through he stopped and said to me, "mom I think I am going to tell her I will do this section of the lawn for $10 and that section of the lawn for $5." He was trying to RAISE the price. Jeez.
A few days ago I took the boys to the dollar store and bought them each a toy. David came home and ended up selling A PIECE of his toy (not the whole toy) to the neighbor. The bad thing is that he sold it for $5! That is quite a return on his investment. We had to do a little intervention about taking advantage of other children.
