Emmet has been obsessed with money for the past couple months. He's constantly angling for jobs to do around the house and payment for it. During a big snow we had a month ago he cleaned off Orrin's windshield for a nickel. Then yesterday I was raking the leaves out of the flower beds and Emmet wanted to help by using the pruners to cut sticks. A half hour later he asked to make a stop sign, then imparted his new money making scheme to me. A walking stick business.
He sold his first one today by shouting to a man going to walk during his lunch break. "Excuse me, would you like a walking stick?!" 10 cents! Even though they only cost 8. A neighbor stopped by and bought 2, and paid him a quarter. He was so excited.
