Get Your Ice Cold Lemonade!

So here I am, getting the mail, minding my own business, when I hear a car drive by, followed by shouts of "LEMONADE! 25 CENTS A CUP!"
This can only mean one thing. I look down at the street corner of the third nearest cul-de-sac and see kids waving signs and screaming like crazy next to a table. A lemonade stand!

This was the scenario last Saturday, and I hopped on my scooter to check it out. Turns out, my friend S and some other girls were holding a stand- and after a ride around the block, there were 25 cent cookies too. Mom let me go over for a while, and after distributing origami fans all around, I was soon appointed to "patrol the streets." Translation: I was the one who yelled "CAR!" when someone drove near. I was even able to get a van from some company to pull over. I'd also tell people about our stand, too- an action that made one man buy so many cookies, we only had one left!

When there was a lack of customers, we'd run to a trampoline in the front yard, jump on it, and try to grab the nearest tree branch. It was fun- and it helped pass the time. S also told me about a remarkable feat they'd accomplished- getting the nieghborhood UPS truck to buy some lemonade. WOW!

The lemonade stand was a success! We made about $11 and hope to make some more sales soon- at the fall yard sale, perhaps? :^)

Dwarfs and DVDs, Part 2

PART 2

CJ: Dad, where do I put my 125 Cousin Studios films?
Dad: We could burn a DVD.
CJ: But Dad, not all our videos are, well, DVD-worthy....
(flashback)
L: (is playing recorder)
S: (is watching Pokemon: Rise Of Darkrai)
CJ: (is videotaping the movie) Quiet, L! I'm videotaping it!
(flashback ends)
CJ: So that's why. And besides, most of our cousins would rather hang out online (coughcoughYouTubecoughcough) then watch a DVD.
Dad: They'd watch it.
CJ: I doubt it. Ooh, I know! Let's look up family sharing sites on the web!
(looks up sites)
CJ: ALL the good ones cost MONEY!?! I'm doomed! Oh, where will it put my 125 Cousin Studios films???
THE END

And if anyone would be kind enough to offer a solution with their comment, it would really help. Thank you!

Dwarfs and DVDs

I'm back from our trip! From making recycled gadgets in Massachusetts to trying out the hilarious Plants Vs. Zombies game in New Jersey to playing laser tag for the first time in Ohio, I had lots to do everywhere!

And now, a Cousin Studios update......

Cousin Studios had great fun making a new series of videos called We Are The Dwarfs, starring two dwarf brothers with crazy pink and purple hair who live in the hills (and sometimes a Sweet Streets apartment). In Episode 1, the dwarfs go swimming and have a who-can-stay-underwater-the-longest contest. But later, they encounter The Monster Of The Deep Pool (who is really my cousin K). Will they escape the monster's clutches? Or will they suddenly develop super powers? Episode 2 takes place in Sweet Streets, where the dwarfs head to a hair salon after learning that they're having a bad hair day-the hard way. They meet the enthusiastically fancy hairdresser Charlene and her less then enthusiastic daughter Sammy, both intense fans of We Are The Dwarfs. But after settling into "the special chair," the brothers hear about an unsettling method of hairstyling known as "The Dunk Tank." What does it all mean?
We also made plenty of Behind The Scenes movies about dwarf styling, swinging, and pool balance games, plus a silent movie you won't see in the 1960s (think stuffed Pokemon, kids faking sleep, weird faces, unnecessary camera flipping, random talking, and laser lights jammed into something with no storyline whatsoever)! S has also been dropping some hints that as soon as he finishes his Poptropica help videos, he'll be moving on to Plants Vs. Zombies cheats.

Cousin Studios has a big problem, though. Read the following:

OH, WHERE DO I PUT MY 125 COUSIN STUDIOS FILMS?
by CJ

CJ: Hmm. I wonder how many Cousin Studios movies I have.
(counts)
CJ: Oh, gosh. I have 125!! These are going to clog up my computer- and besides, I want to share them with family. There's only one solution for this problem- YouTube!
CJ: Wait a second. What if they have age limits? Then I'd be arrested! I better check the website..
(duh duh)
(types)
(duh duh)
CJ: Safety....no. Privacy....no. Age restrictions....yes! (clicks)
(duh duh duh duh)
CJ: YouTube accounts are only allowed for kids....
(duhduhduhduhduhduhduhduh)
CJ: Ages 13 and up. Wait, did that say.....
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Mom: Why are you screaming?
CJ: YouTube is (sob) only for kids (sob) ages 13 and up! WAA!
Mom: Don't worry. Go to Tangle. It's a good social site.
CJ:(goes to Tangle): Mom, this site is for Christan videos. Ours don't really fall under that catagory.
Mom: Do too.
CJ: Do not.
Mom: Do too.
CJ: Do not.
Random Person Appointed As Narrator: Intermission!
To be continued...
