Did You Know...

There’s a special place in hell for somebody who would rob some kids’ lemonade stand, isn’t there?

From the Detroit Free Press:

Calls offering donations have come in from as far away as Colorado and Cincinnati for a group of girls whose Pontiac lemonade stand was robbed Sunday afternoon.

The outpouring has been overwhelming — and a great lesson after a man ran off with the girls’ Mickey Mouse jewelry box and $40 in proceeds, mom Danielle Behan said Wednesday.

Behan’s 9-year-old daughter, Serena Inglsbee, Serena’s 8-year-old twin stepsisters, Savannah and Corrine Aldrich, and Aleyce Guerra, 6, the granddaughter of Behan’s fiancé, were robbed about 3:30 p.m. as they sold lemonade.

Like it’s not hard enough to do business in Michigan.

Now that the time and place of the grand re-opening of the lemonade stand has been announced, the kids’ first customers might be from the IRS.

These kids had made $40 selling lemonade? I’d recommend appointing them to the president’s economic advisory board, but they’re already way too overqualified. The guy who robbed them, however, would be perfect for the job.
