Entrepreneur

Carolyn is a very imaginative girl. Where Kylie generally craves constant attention and interaction, Carolyn is content to play on her own for hours. She's crafty and creative.

On a recent day, those wheels in her head had apparently been turning as she thought of ways to turn a profit.
She got a bunch of blankets from her room, folded them up, and placed them in a pile. She also gathered together several books. Then she called for me.

There was a sign, hand printed in her own cute penmanship, placed on the blankets. It read, "Blankets for sale."

The sign she is holding with the book says, "Story time. It will cost you one quarter."

Thankfully, I just happened to have a few spare quarters.

In all fairness, it turned out she wanted to use the money to pay me for dinner.

Silly girl.

She is too funny! That's great that she has such a wonderful imagination. A lot of kids are missing that these days.
