So I wasn't surprised (one day last week) to see his eyes light up when The Small One stopped forking in the spaghetti for a moment and said:
"Why would anyone want to sell shares in their own company? Then they can't keep all the money."
He knows his job and he knows his girl. She thinks fast, so a quick run through cash flow theory and she helped herself to an ice lolly and skipped off happy. While we continued the conversation:
"Business Studies," he said "She could do Business Studies. Learn early. Make a mint. Can you imagine her project work? I think they make you form a company and sell things to your friends. I bet she'd come up with something snack related. Mmm, though most of the good stuff is banned in school now. She'd have to go underground. Black market Bubblies and crisps on credit. Wait!" and he paused for breath.
I know! She could have a Pop-Up Tuckshop. Different location every breaktime to avoid detection. She could tweet when and where. This could be big.."
Today I'm Loving..if you are starting to love 6x12 layouts too, check out the sketches at PageMaps. Look under "Half Maps" and you can print out a selection.

Things move fast at your place!
Interesting conversations at your place.
LOL - very cute story about your girl and her dad. :o) I love when you share these conversations.
Thanks for the link to PageMaps. It was fun to see all the 6x12's and I'm really wanting to do some layouts in that size!!!
She could take Horsey as her 'enforcer'!!
Great story! DD here is a bit of a schemer too, but DS is happy to sit and watch the business world go by!
BTW, you're the second UK friend to post a Mars picture recently! Love those - the US Mars bars are rubbish!

I can't wait to have similar conversations with DS like this! Thanks for the tip about pagemaps.
It would be an interesting start to her entrepreneurial career - to be arrested by the School gestapo, for selling contraband tuck items!
I love the story, Sian. You are a lively lot in your house.
And yes, I am also coming round to the idea of 6x12" layouts. They seem to have a certain something about them, which is quite different from the square formats. I do like many of the layouts I've seen during Shimelle's course and I have it in mind to have a go myself (whenever I may get time, of course!!)
I think the small one is quite capable of coming up with an invention to make her fortune :)
A story to make you smile. Keep us up to date with the black market tuckshop.
I'm a firm believer in always bringing my own apron ...
Love your posts Sian. They always make me smile :)
Fantastic story. Made me smile from ear to ear x
I shall be watching The Small One's career with interest :-)
hee-hee.. I do love a bit of entrepreneurial spirit! The Small One will go far, without a doubt!
Wow, a Mars bar shop just round the corner from school ... if she franchises out to Hertfordshire, count me in!
When I started working at the school in 2001 we had a 'chocolate trolley' that the lady in the finance office would wheel into the hall to sell chocolate snacks to the kids at break time. She was the most popular person in the place! That would never happen now though, there is a real need for black market chocolate to feed the staff's addiction!
Oh I love this story! The images it creates :P She wouldn't be out of place in a Horrid Henry storyline... along my with my lot!
This did make me smile, thanks Sian!
