Entrepreneurial Spirit


It's thriving in our house. You know how I know? I witnessed it first hand.

Tara set up the ironing board, collected several toys (most of them belonged to her brothers), and then told her siblings they could purchase the toys from her.

She made $1.76 selling toys to her siblings. Toys they already own.

You know what I thought when I saw the mini thrift store in my living room? "Wow, Tara is just like her Dad."

What is worse Tara selling the toys or the kids buying them?

That is so funny! I can't believe they would buy their own toys. That makes me laugh.

Smart girl! I suppose there are advantages to being the oldest.

Katie said...

what a girl! that cracks me up.

Maybe you should do the selling. Whatever toys get left out at night can be sold back the next day. Only you can sell them for chores. Or peace and quiet.

Elsha is a GENIUS!!!! I like that idea.

Elsha is a genius. Great idea! I mean if they'll buy em....

Brooke said...

I also agree with Elsha, if you find them on the floor they get put away until your kids are willing to purchase them back...with money, gifts or chores...it may work with whatever Jared leaves out too!

That sounds like something I would have done as the big sister!

Now THAT is a golden ticket idea (if you watch, The Office you'll get it). Sign that girl up now for a business degree!

Wow! She is totally the oldest. Can't you see Brian doing something like that. I know I can see myself doing that. Hey if the kids are gullible to buy it more power to her.
