last night my sunburned fourteen-year-old brother sprawled out on my bedroom floor and coached me for half an hour on how to make more money during the summer. i thought others could benefit from his cornucopia of pecuniary wisdom, so i'm sharing some of it here.
a few of his ideas:
- be a road worker. "they just stand around a hole and eat lunch all day," he said.
- be an englishineer. "make people pay you ten dollars for every grammar mistake you fix on their billboards," he said.
- be a construction worker. i told him it might be a weird job for a girl. "oh," he said.
- invent edible socks. "easier than shirts, because socks are smaller," he said.
get to it, people!

What a plethora of business plans! Jedd, you never EVER cease to amaze me.
Correction on the "construction worker"-might be weird for a girl but they do let them hold the orange flags:-)
oh i like his ideas. the edible socks, genius!
Girls can be construction workers! Gosh, where are all the feminists?
Even I had a short stint as a roofer, pouring hot tar in my youth.....(okay, when I say short, I really mean one day)
Oh, Annie! I just don't know how this is the first time I have seen your lil' blog. But I love it, I really do. I just spent a very long time reading it. I love you! And I wish very much that I had spent a very long time with you, too!
