Last
Saturday Ben decided to open a shop in his room, he made paper laptops to sell along with a myriad of other little trinkets. All for a dollar, except the laptop. That was $2.95. He showed a lot of initiative and really payed attention to detail. He could easily have his own business one day.
He was determined to set up shop. The question was what to do with his unruly siblings. Include or exclude from his venture. Ben surprisingly decided to include Sarah and Emma. Human resources specialist? Hmmm. Maybe.
Ben drew up and posted this contract on his door and required his new "employee" to sign the contract in multiple places.
Yea, I think he will be a Lawyer, if nothing else he certainly knows what a one sided contract is and he knows how to convince someone to "sine" it. My favorite part is the line that says "Sarah you need to do what Ben says." That sounds like older brother lingo. (Maybe he will be a dictator of a third world country? It's possible.)
This is Sarah, living up to the contract that she signed. I am not sure why she got the position of janitor, but I am sure it was orchestrated by Ben.
As you can see it appears that she is not taking her job seriously.
Dang!
Emma's .
job was to take care of the toys in the shop. Here she is by her table
All in all they played for a few hours at their game. No TV, no real screaming or major interventions needed.
At the end of the play I saw a number of potential things that Ben could do in his future.
Shop owner, future income up to 100K.
Human resources ... 70 to 80K.
Dictator of a 3rd world nation. $$$The sky's the limit, (it may however have a short life span.)
Lawyer ... 100 to 300K.
A few hours of relative peace and quiet while the kids play .... PRICELESS!

Yeah, that is a kid with initiative. I loved reading his creative writing and spelling. You must be terrific parents to have children that play so well together. Pat yourselves on the back.
Now, what is it you have to do before you enter Ben's room?
Your children are geniuses. Ben is lucky he has such compliant, kind sisters. Sol's sisters could take his wimpy frame in one second. I'm impressed he even typed the contract up! You may be the only blogging daddy I know, but you've got it down in your manly way.
I am not surprised by the contract, but I do not think it will hold up in court. If he needs a good lawyer when Sara sues him, let me know.
He may be an artist, that computer looked very professional. Isn't that every dad's dream, have their kid grow up to be an artist?
BTW, your baby announcement was freaking adorable.
Come on back to my site, aint private no mo.

What about Concert Pianist? Yeah, no money in that...he'll have to keep it as a hobby.
How cute! Seriously, it's fun to see the "real" side of your kids. :)
