Just see if this scenario seems familiar, too familiar to many of you. Leave me a comment and tell me about your experiences. Also make sure and leave me a comment or get in touch with me if you have a church group, or some other charitable foundation that is in need of constant funding.
Your little girl comes home from school. She is proudly showing off all the envelopes, displays, and product to sell candy for her band at school.
You smile at your little jr, business woman. You are SO proud of her. You use this as a good excuse for a lecture on the work ethic and how one must work hard to get what you want
Then you start thinking about her knocking on doors, as she doggedly goes to each house.You fondly remember your sister snd you hawking over-priced candy, getting your cheek pinched by blue-haired old ladies praising your diligence (just what were they doing to suddenly get the munchies anyway?) Though my experience was not bad. It is a different world now.
I could see her going door to door, getting sucked inside by some pervert wanting to do strange things to her body? Suddenly I inform her not to go out selling without me.
Every night I come home from work, dinner needs to be cooked, there is major laundry to do, and the kids all have homework they need help with. I really mean to go out with her but it just keeps getting put on the back burner.
One night, when you get home, she is wailing to beat the band (not the one she is fundraising fior) All her stuff is due the next day and you guys never got to go selling.To top it off, she has her heart set on one of the awards for the most selling. A stuffed creature that retails for about $3.50.
You suddenly find yourself eating all those words of lecture, before you know it, your guilt has propeled you into being the new proud owner of 52 boxes of technicolor gummy worms.
I think Santa and the Easter Bunny are going to get worm farms to help fill their candy needs.
Now I know organizations like the band or church, or even the girl scouts need fundraising activities.Would'nt it be better if you could be supporting them while your daughter( and you ) sit safely in your home shopping in your mall for things you buy anyway (everyone needs deodorant,right?) Well with my power mall, it can be a reality, click on the upper left logo to view the movie.
