Selling Something?

I'm not quite sure where this came from, but this last week Abby told Ben and me at dinner that she wanted to quit school and get a job to "earn money before going to college".  Okay . . . she is only 6!  We quickly let her know that she had to stay in school in order to get into college. But she still wants a "job".  

Saturday morning she told me she wanted to "sell stuff".  I asked her what she wanted to sell. She wasn't really sure, but she wanted to sell something and wanted to do it "right away".  My mother in-law wrote a VERY cute thought book titled ABC's for a Happy Marriage (www.ABCHappyMarriage.com).  Ben was involved with the publishing aspects of it . . . and so we are storing a lot of the books at our house.  I pulled out a few for Abby and told her what kind of commission she could get if she sold one.    Very optimistically, she made signs and had me help her set up a table outside so she could sell books to "all the people that will go by".  Okay, we live at the  end of a cul-de-sac . . . so it is not very busy . . . but Abby didn't seemed too concerned with that.  Unfortunately, after about 20 minutes . . . and not selling a single book . . . she said she was done.   Hopefully she will be this determined to get a job to "earn money FOR college" when she is older:).
