Bake Sales: My cousins & I would get our mothers to bake stuff, then we'd turn around and sell them after church... since our church was so small and was mostly family, those same mothers who baked the stuff were usually the ones who bought the stuff up.
I distinctly remember in 7th grade, me & a group of friends started a 'corporation' and sold shares of stock to our classmates. Child, don't ask me what the company did/made/sold... I don't remember! But those lil' 12 year olds bought up those stock certificates like they were Now N Laters! Yep, we made stock certificates and even held board meetings at the public library.

WOW!!! That second venture really had ya'll honing some skills!!!.....I like.... it reminds me when we went on a field trip when I was in school. I don't remember the place exactly but the building we went to was set up like a touch me/try me museum. they gave us all check books and a little fake payroll...we then were able to go around to the various shops (ie. fake restaurants serving cheese and crackers as the entree, face painting shop etc...) and spend the fake money...then had to hold a job down for an hour in one of the shops. It was just an enriching experience because it gave us a taste of what adults go through to manage money, be responsible etc...... I wish they did more of these types of activities in the schools today.
Oh wait wait wait!!!
My cousins and I also would hold raffles! We'd pick something of ours to raffle off, sell the tickets and then hold the drawing. I kid you not... every single drawing was won by one of us. Our Mamas would buy the tix for us. So, we got to keep the raffle item AND the money! Sweet!

Hey thurr,
firstly, I think that you have made a wise decision to not allow your daughter to babysit at the home of the babysitee. I started working at the age of 8 in our neighbors home daycare. That led to my sister and I being asked to go to the home of some of the clients to babysit. All sorts of set up such as money left out in full view etc. just to see if we would steal. I HATED that, hell they needed the friggen service.
Secondly, I would babysit as a teenager. When I was a very young teen, I babysat for a neighbor way up the street 5 days a week. Her husband was chester the molester. Just like the tv people say, he conditioned me by always throwing extra money my way, gifts, etc. He then began wanting a little kiss here and there, then he flat out got freaky and the final straw was when I had to escape the home after he told me to get naked. He had it all set up in such a way that had I quit early on then it would've made it look as if I was being irresponsible. I was afraid to tell my parents because I KNEW that my Father would kill him had he found out. I was also told that I wouldn't be believed. Now that I am older and wiser I know that I SHOULD'VE told. I still see this man around town and always give him that look. He and my neighbor divorced and he is now alone. GOOD!
My craziest job was a job with the Michigan Youth Corps. It was a summer job for teens making minimum wage for maximum work. We had to work dragging these HUGE trees to be planted and to clean up leaves and shrubbery to beautify the suburban town. We all lived in the ghetto. Cars would pass and they would yell "work slaves" etc. There were snakes everywhere that the boys would kill. One young lady died after being bitten, but she wasn't in our group of workers. After that my parents no longer forced me to work that job and I was able to quit.

Yes, I was molested as a child so I would never set my child up for that...it goes both ways with babysitting..allegations could just as easily be lodged against us when caring for anothers child. .and to be honest I have not made my mind up completely about it...exactly for these reasons.
That's horrible about the girl dying from a snake bite!!! I was scared that I was going to get bite by something too....working in those field...but thank God...nothing this horrible happened.
This is why I have to give God all the glory...because without God...I would not have made it. Thanks for sharing.

It wasn't me, but one of my homegirls in college sold black kits. I remembered this shyt cuz Flo was a'visiting. well. boyfriend/fiance at the time was horny as hell. So, we're studying in his dorm room, I'm in a pissy mood PMS'ing my ass off trying to study microbiology. This foo' pulls out a black bag - it has tuxedo black condoms, black washcloth, and a black bath towel. His azz gonna raise his eyebrows up and down and start smirking at me. I'm like WTF? He explains well, since you're on day 4, u shouldn't be heavy. The bath towel goes underneath us, the washcloth wipes us up after, and the black condom hides the evidence.
NO THIS MOFO DID NOT BUY THIS AND NO OLE GIRL WAS NOT SELLING IT. Damn freaks. I left out of there after wailing on his nasty ass, caught campus transit and went to my dorm.
I had to admit, that ish was kind fly. She made mad money - wish I'd have come up with it - but we did cross promote - she told guys about my hustle and I returned the favor. Freak, lol... Those were the days, all us sistas were @ LSU being some entra-po'-n***as!
