Chocolate Bars....

Satchel's school is raising money for their new building. To earn money they are having the kids sell chocolate bars. He REALLY wanted to do it. Mom and Dad weren't really excited about it but thought that it could be a good experience to teach him about money, math, sales, responsibility, etc. So, he gets home yesterday and says, "Mom I want to go out and find some customers to sell my chocolate to." Already he is so excited because if he sells 2 boxes he gets to go to an ice cream party. I thought it would be "better" if Dad took him. Well, by the time he got home we already had 3 kids come by. Not to mention we got more later. So, the neighborhood is tapped out.

Plan B began by calling family. Satchel calls my mom and was so professional it was funny ("Hi Grandma. This is Satchel. I am selling chocolate bars for my school. Would you like to buy some?...Oh how much? They are only a dollar......You can buy as many as you want I have a lot.") Needless to say, Andrew and I were laughing. Who knew he was such a salesman and only 6.

That isn't even the funniest part. After he talks to her I got on the phone to make sure she understood what was going on and she did. She then asked what Gehrig wanted for his birthday since it is next week. I asked Gehrig and what does Satchel shout out..."He wants a candy bar!" I guess he takes after his Scentsational-Scentsy-Selling-Momma. :)
