Ponder this question for today. Write it down in a journal to pass on to family members once you're gone. You can post it here, or in your own journal book.
Have a great day.
1/9/2010: How did you make money as a kid?
I started babysitting when I was about 9 years old. But, I wasn’t really babysitting per say, as the parents were just next door playing cards with the neighbors, and the kids were in bed when I arrived there. I was more like a “watcher” and “listener”, in case the kids woke up.
But, I was paid for this, and as I got older, the job turned into a good little money-maker. I was able to purchase almost anything I wanted, or needed, just by babysitting.
Into my teenage years, I also started cooking apple pies and blackberry pies. There were lots of apple trees and blackberry bushes where I lived, and my girlfriends and I took their wagon and some paper bags and picked them.
I also took in ironing … and that is why I am glad we don’t have to iron most clothes today!
