Another 7-Year-Old Runs Into Trouble With The Law A little girl in California had her lemonade stand shut down by cops. Between this and all the 7-year-olds stealing cars these days, I think it is clear: we're gonna need a smaller jail!

Dear Mr and Mrs Earnest,
You made a 7-year old appear before a City Council Board to fight for her right to go to Disney World. Life is not going to live out well for her...

"Hi, I'm Chris Hansen. Are you this little girl's father?"

"Alleged father."

When did this website become Amusing-Things-Only-Tangentially-Related-To-Videos-Gum?
Not that there's anything wrong with that, though...

She's been selling lemonade since kindergarden? Where are the child exploitation charges against the dad?!

On a more serious note, the cop made a compelling point about how a highway intersection was unsafe for her. I'm sure they have a "downtown" area in Tulare, right?

Anyhoo, she's going to Disney so a happy end to the story.

Happy day at Disney. . . Until she has to watch her asshole Dad have a three courser at the Blue Bayou, while she eats the only thing her lemonade could afford: saltines and a roll of bubble tape.

Kinda reminds of that quote from President Clinton (not him) at the end of a Simpsons episode:
"Thank you Lisa for teaching kids everywhere a valuable lesson. If things don't go your way just keep complaining until your dreams come true."

My favorite part was the very end. Just in case you were wondering if four two-day passes to Disney World in exchange for 30 glasses of lemonade was a bad deal for the family, don't worry, the lemonade was only $2.00 a glass. That was actually quite a deal! If anything the radio station got a bad deal. I hope that(those) was a(were) big glass(es)!

Oh that's lame.
I thought she was selling it in her yard.
Take her off the streets!
