I helped my 10 year old daughter set up a lemonade stand in front of our house last weekend. She was really excited. She had a small sign, a cooler with ice, and a simple recipe consisting of fresh lemons, water, and a bit of sugar. Most neighbors were friendly and supportive. But then came one older woman from down the street who is famously known for unsolicited opinions and advices. She took a sip, made a face, and said, “Not enough lemons. Real lemonade should be more sour.”
My daughter looked a little sad, but we just said thank you and let it go. The next day, the same woman came back. Bought another cup. Same thing sip, frown and said the lemons still wasn't enough. I had to do something about it because my daughter became less excited about her little lemonade business, so i helped my daughter make a special batch just for the old lady. Less sugar, lots more lemon juice, and even extra lemon slices floating in the cup. Just as i predicted, the woman came back the next day. She took a sip and her face twisted like she bit into a whole lemon. She didn’t say anything this time. Just gave a small nod and walked away. She hasn’t come back since, I guess we blew her mind.
