A lemonade stand

I'm a sucker for kids selling lemonade. I will stop and give them way too much money for their 5 cent powder mix lemonade. What can I say? I respect the vision, the go-get-it attitude. Oh and the kids that are really selling it like the beer guy at a ball game, forget about it, slow clap for you kid. You are going places. I was a kid of the 80s and I was a free-range kid in the small New Jersey town that I grew up in. On more than one occasion, my bestie and I (yes we had the necklaces) had a lemonade stand. We set up, sat for hours, but  shop was closed up when we had enough money to buy 2 blizzards from Dairy Queen, we were reasonable after all. Knowing we paid for those blizzards our self was even sweeter.

What was something you had to work really hard for? How did it turn out? How were you better from the challenge?
