I was just about done running the dog when I came across a bunch of kids selling lemonade and iced tea. Since I didn't have any $$ on me, I vowed to go back and buy a couple cups. So I dropped the half dead dog at home, got in the car and drove back. (All uphill and its still 88 degrees.)
I pulled up and about 7 kids had set up the stand. They asked how many and I said, "give me 4 cups please!" Kids thought they hit the damn jackpot! Two of the little girls started dancing around and two of the boys were incredulous that I wanted so many. I drank the cups as fast as they could pour them, so unfortunately I missed out on their surprise....THEY HAD UMBRELLAS FOR THE DRINKS!!!!!!!!
They asked for $1, I gave them $5. I swear, I've never heard kids scream so loud. I didn't know whether to put my hands up or smile. Last thing I wanted was the damn neighborhood thinking I'm a kiddie toucher!
Anyway, mom n' dad came out, they ran over with the money and started screaming how much money I gave them without even drinking that many cups. Luckily, at that point I was in the free and clear!
The kids then told me they'd give my dog a drink tomorrow when I run him again. Ya gotta love kids!
