Kids Open Lemonade Stand to Pay for Cat Surgery

Posted by Cole Gamble
When life hands you a lemon cat, make lemonade. A couple of kids in Utah are seeking to do little something more with their summer than play in the flesh-melting chlorinated public pool. They’ve opened a lemonade stand with a simple sign, “Buy a drink, help my cat.” In order to obtain the $700 needed to pay for a surgery on their partially paralyzed cat, Aspen and Skylar Granath are selling lemonade. Here’s hoping they make enough to throw in a robotic eye with laser beams.

Sounds like a marketing scheme to me ... good for you, kids.

About Cole Gamble

Cole Gamble is a writer in the environs of Portland, Oregon where he has two children, one he calls “Jillian” and the other he simply refers to as “The Beef.” His revolutionary parenting technique is a three-pronged system consisting of A) wrestling children for fun and profit; B) convincing his daughter she is a robot; and C) resisting the urge to beat up other four-year-olds when they tease his kids. Propagation of aforementioned children was assisted by his wife, Nicole, who is gorgeous but ironically hates being photographed. His writing has appeared in print, on various Internets and been transmitted into the air through the magic of the radio. Currently he is working on an evil self-help book titled Improve Your Life Or Die.
