My 8 year old niece Mada bought 50 glow bracelets and 50 glow necklaces online and sold them last night at the Movie at the Park in her town.  This is her first step toward world domination, filling Warren Buffet's shoes and probably becoming president of the United States.  She called at 9:15 to tell me how it went.  She sold EVERY SINGLE ONE.  Clearly my father's genes have continued in the family.  She made $75.  Not too shabby.

My sister got on the phone to tell me that it started out pretty dicey but once it got dark, they sold like hotcakes.  She said that there were a group of bad-ass teenagers sitting on a blacket beside them, smoking cigarettes and having general teenage bad behavior.  Mada decided that she could sell LOTS of necklaces to this crowd so she started to work her magic.  Jen said that the teenagers were kind of making fun of Mada for selling the necklaces but she just kept hanging in there.  One of the boys was saying smart-ass things like, "if I hug you, will you give me a necklace," i.e. Marti Gras style.  Yeah, real appropriate to say to an 8 year old.  While Jen was trying to figure out how to deal with this one, she realized she was wasting her time.  At that moment, Mada looked over to the boy and said....

"I'll give you one for free if you stop talking."

Everyone in the group then bought a necklace. 

Who's your daddy now, beeotch?
