Right Track

Apparently LM's school does not embrace the concept of capitalism or the entrepreneurial spirit. Because when he made an impressive snow fort and tried to charge his classmates to come in, the recess supervisors put a kibosh on the activity, saying the snow fort should be for everyone's enjoyment. Sheesh, what a bunch of commies!  (So what if the Kindergartners didn't have a buck on 'em.  No pay-- no play!)

See, LM gets his business sense from his brilliant Popi.  It's a gift.  And what if Popi's mom had told him, as a youngster, he couldn't dress his little sister up as a hula dancer to attract customers to his bingo parlor?  That fun little world of female exploitation and underage gambling would have been squelched, Popi's pocket change all but nonexistent.  Sad and wrong!

Tell you what, LM, I'll buy your snow fort from you. That'll provide a little venture capital for your next endeavor. Then you can ask Popi about how to start a back-alley casino for minors. We'll get you back on the road to success, son!

  1. I' like to see LM try to get Ruby to dress up in a grass skirt and coconuts and dance out on the street.

I love comments. Comments make a blog a conversation rather than a monologue. So join in! (Just, um, be nice and all that.)
