kids with initiative
 

when i was young we used to have jumble sales to make a bit of money, we used to go round peoples houses asking if they wanted there windows cleaning or 'bob a jobbing'

was sat at my pc about 10 minutes ago and happened to look out the window.......and low and behold my son was out there trying to sell iced water, when i asked him what the hell he was doing he said 'well mum its a warm day some people might need water to cool themselves down'

i was gobsmacked, its a bit like selling ice to the eskimo's, i'll give him his due though, he has initiative.........i couldnt stop laughing though, and told him to throw them all away and stop being daft

anyone else got any silly stories about there kids??


this has to be one to tell his future gilfriends
