Poll question: I feel sorry for this kid selling lemonade in the blistering heat. Y or N?

Thirsty work in Huntersville, North Carolina.

1. How much you want to bet the backwards letters on the sign were

intentional?

I saw this picture earlier, and it just looks too contrived. :)

4. I'm guessin' that's a lemonade stand made by an adult...

...to look like it was made by a kid.

:toast:

OR...the kid IS a freeper.

2. Other: NOBODY buys lemonade from stands like that.

Especially because nobody walks on really hot days, they drive innice air-conditioned cars. Stopping to buy lemonade would mean making yourself MORE uncomfortable.

The kid should know that.

5. Other: I'll buy a glass after I beat her parents

Who the hell puts a skirt that short on a little girl who doesn't know or remember how to sit w/o showing the whole neighborhood (and all the internet- thanks CNN) her underpants?

Stupid people, that's who. Buy the kid some shorts, for pity's sake.

7. If you're sweating like she must be, do you really care who sees your

underwear?

At least she's not in a string bikini trying to sell some lemonade, LOL!

6. Her mother should just give her a few bucks, geez!

Does she want her kid to get heatstroke, or what!

I hate the backward "s" and backward "n" and 'kiddie spelling'. Gets on my nerves. I don't think it's cute. So I do admit it might make me wait that extra five seconds before buying from this kid.

8. I've bought lemonade from kids twice in the last couple of weeks

One was set up by a popular bike trail and the other I happened to pass while out cycling.

9. It looks like it says

Clemonade on top of the the sign. Huntersville is known for being a KKK hotbed. She's definitely a teen Freeper in training. I wouldn't even buy Dr Pepper from her. Unless, of course, it was the last on in the world. I might decide to do something I would normally never do though and rob her to get my money back afterwards. Nah, maybe I shouldn't. It'll just make her more of a die hard asshole Freeper later on in life. They do seem to have some sort of chip on their shoulder like they are the only ones who have ever been wronged...
