Andrew's Big Idea





The other day...

Andrew: "Mom, can I bring my skateboard in the house?"

Me: "No, you can't skate in the house, only outside."

Andrew: "But some people have skate parks in their houses."

Me: "That is true, but we don't"

Andrew: "Well, can't we build one in our house?"

Me: "We would need a lot of money to build a house that's big enough to have a skate park. Do you have enough money to build one?"

Andrew: "No."

Me: "Well, you better get a job and start saving all the money you earn."

Andrew: "I'm too young to get a job! I know! I will have a lemonade stand!"

(He revised his menu after learning that we didn't have any lemonade in the house.)

I lovelovelove that he is a problem solver and thinks creatively to come up with a solution.
