The Philanthropist

A couple weekends ago, Cameron wanted to set up a lemonade stand in front of our house. Katy, ever the indulgent mom, helped him get a sign made up and the lemonade mixed.

It wasn't until I helped him get his table moved out front that I realized this was not a simple capitalist for-profit project:

It had been his plan all along to use the proceeds from his stand to purchase food for a drive they were having at school. He sold $6 worth of product before supplies ran out.

Later that afternoon I took him to the grocery store and helped him pick out $10 worth of food - the proceeds from the lemonade stand plus $4 of his spending money. (One dollar of his weekly allowance is his to spend as he sees fit.) I know I suffer from a little bias here, but hey - what a kid!
