    Not too far off from reality, sadly:

    Two kids in my neighborhood were going door to door selling lemonade to be able to buy their mom a tablet she needed for work. She was only working off her phone at the time. Alternatively, the kid could give her his tablet to use and he’d have to raise money to buy his own.

    Good lemonade, but fucked up that the economy is such shit that lemonade stands have gone door to door, and have become a vital source of income for families.
