Wow - a trip down memory lane, to give you a genuine answer . . .
Be careful what you ask for, you may get it !!!
I was raised in an 'upscale', privileged neighborhood in the south, in the 50's. . .
My mother, being a member of the 'neuve riche' class, would not allow such 'wanton, poor white trash' behaviors from her offspring. Keep in mind (before judging harshly) -
My mom was one of those 'depression' survivors, who did not have shoes to wear on the long, dusty walks to school, in Georgia . . . who married for money (banker's family) . . . and who learned thru her own deprived childhood to believe ----
REPUTATION (a good one) was THE most important posession.
Yes, I have learned to forgive her, for her narrow-mindedness;
My children WERE allowed to have lemonade stands, as I never cared what the neighbors thawt, or said - and they spent their earnings on candy, or cookies (in the '70s).
Thanx for the 'memory trigger' ---- warm fuzzies to you. . .

I remember my next door neighbor and I sold lemonade. We used the money to put on a play in her back yard by the pool, and we charged for the play too.

Sure did!! Put half in the bank & used the other half to buy some more supplies. The money I had left over, I spent on a couple of things for my room.

I put the coins in a change jar and forgot about them. I'm now using to pay off Medical school application fees. The rest I just brought myself somethings that my parents wouldn't buy fo me.

I remember selling koolaid, and actually, we used the money we made to buy more cups! We had so much fun selling it that we didn't care about making money.

What Money?- I tried to sell but I never made money at it. I really did n't live on a busy street.
