031- [action] Cool, cool lemonade...

[friendly_ghosts]

[So, Mindy is trying to save up money for something. But when You're seven, there's not too many options. So here you go, Mayfield. A good old fashioned lemonade stand. She's set up a small table with a pitcher of lemonade and glasses and even made a sign. One glass is 15 cents. There is also a tip jar. And anyone who passes by her house will be

[Rise is drawn in by the sheer cute. Smiling, she hands over the money.]

I'd love some!

[friendly_ghosts]

Sure!

[Rise is lucky(?) enough to have come after her first mistake was corrected. So now there is sugar in it. Too much though. This tastes more like lemon candy than lemonade.]

[enemyradar]

Thanks!

[Rise drinks it. ...Oh. Despite how overwhelming it is, she puts on that good old idol smile.]

Say, um...how much sugar did you use?

[friendly_ghosts]

Oh, well, Miss Ilsa told me that people would like it better if I put a cup of sugar in it. So I thought they'd like it even more if I put in two cups.

[She is clearly very proud of this idea.]

[enemyradar]

[Rise nods, still smiling, and giggles a little.]

Oh, I see. That's a really nice thought, but...I think it might've been just a little too much.

[friendly_ghosts]

Really? Maybe I should go back to the diet lemonade then...

[enemyradar]

Hehe, diet lemonade?

Well, it's not like it's that bad or anything. In fact, I think you did a really good job for making it on your own!

[friendly_ghosts]

Thanks, Lady! I worked real hard on it!

I had to squeeze a whole bunch of lemons.

[enemyradar]

That sounds like a lot of work. You must have a great work ethic!

[friendly_ghosts]

I sure do!

..... What's a work ethic?

[enemyradar]

[Rise giggles.]

Hmm. [She thinks of the easiest way to word it.] Well, a work ethic is kind of how well you do a job. If you have a good work ethic, it means you work hard!

[friendly_ghosts]

Oh! I'll work extra hard then. That way I'll have the best work ethic!
