Hi Marcus
Was that during the pet rock craze?

I’ve never had an “icy paddlepop” but it has such a great ring to it.

I didn’t have many entrepreneurial thoughts as a kid, but I remember trying to sell painted rocks one time. I didn’t want to do the “normal thing” of setting up a lemonade stand, and I’m not sure why I thought there would be market demand for painted rocks. Turns out, there wasn’t.

Well, there was that time we collected 50 large grocery bags full of pecan when my Dad said his buddies at work would give us actual real money for ‘em! I made $5 and was King of the World for while!

Thanks for the contribution to WILF this month!

Cheers!
