Some things are cute under the right context, and some are just weird.
Case in point:
I was driving to the store the other day and I saw some cute young girls selling lemonade. When I say young, I mean like 7 years old. I thought to myself," Thats kinda cute, I should stop by and get some." So I stopped and payed a dollar, got a cup. One dollar? Thats kinda high, but whatever, they were probably saving for something important. It was cute, they were trying to earn a few bucks. And it was a decent area, so whats the harm? they werent begging, at least.I drank the crappy lemonade, thanked them, and left to finish going to the store, I was in need of groceries.
Three days later I was driving back to the store to get some beer and side dishes for dinner, and saw the lemonade stand was back up on the corner. This time the girls trying to get attention for it were around teenage years, wearing bikini tops and shaking the sign. Their little sisters were still manning the table, so I stopped again, and payed another dollar for another cup of slightly better lemonade. It wasn't as cute, and I kinda felt pervy with the teens there. I drank it, tried to not oggle the teens in the bikini tops, went to the store, got items, ate dinner and got drunk. I thought nothing about it.
The next day I was driving by to get some more beer and I see the stand there again. I get ready to stop and as I pull up I see a grandma and grampa sitting there, minding shop, so to speak. I think to myself," Maybe the girls are inside, making more lemonade. I will come back after getting some beer and maybe thay will be back out."
I got my beer, and started heading home. As I pulled up to the stand I see the girls still aren't there. It had been around 30 minutes, this is Vegas and I gambled a few bucks to waste time. So I decided to ask the grandparents where the little ones were.
"So where are the little merchants? I thought I would help out so they could get whatever it was they were trying to save for," I called out to the oldsters.
"They went back home, they were only here for 2 weeks while they were out of school to visit us," replied grandpa. "we decided that since they made a couple hundred bucks selling lemonade in a week we would try our hand at it."
I said,"I don't suppose that lemonade would be hard, would it?"
And grandpa replied deadpan," No sir, alcoholic beveridges are against my religion. This is just the same lemonade the girls were selling, we just want to make a few bucks."
I got in my truck and drove off, shaking my head.
Creepy.

All I'm getting from this is an image of you as a super-perv, waiting for the little girls and bikini-clad teens to come out and give you more of their lemonade. I suppose that really says more about me than it does about you. Ah well. Good post.
