Every other game around here eventually morphs into some kind of a store. Clara started the trend ages ago, and Trevor used to insinuate his way into his sister's businesses, usually settling for the less glamorous jobs. Well, apparently he has had enough of being her lackey. These days, as soon as Clara gets out her little table and begins pricing her goods, Trevor sets up shop nearby.
Today, Clara wanted to get a jump on the season and sell a few Christmas ornaments. She claimed she was raising money for her Brownie Troop. Smart girl. She knows people can't resist a cute kid in a dorky hat.
Trevor decided to sell "birthday cakes", which were actually pebbles in a tiny clay pot full of water. (which reminds me that Clara has been making little air quotes with her fingers lately. Haven't the foggiest where she picked it up, and it threatens to start bugging me soon.)
There was a bit of healthy competition going on between the two vendors (more for my attention than for my money), and thankfully they turned to each other for business when things were slow.
I spent over two dollars, but at least I'm all stocked up for the next three birthdays and Christmases.
