Julia, blonde curls bouncing, blue eyes determined, definitely knew which one she wanted because when she was offered the Blackberry Delight in a tasty children's cone, she just went bezack. "Blue! Blue!", she hollered. The person dispensing gelato was pretty savvy and quickly dumped the blue ice cream and asked Julia to point to the one she wanted. "Blue! Blue!" she said, pointing at strawberry. I was so delighted that I left a tip bigger than the cost of the ice cream, and walking home, felt privileged to be covered in pink, pink dairy melt.
Julia is now coming on 10, and she just sent us her first draft of a poster she intends to distribute widely in her neighbourhood. She is still the girl who knows what she wants.
The part that's hard to read on the blue square says "Loves the outdoors...is a hiker"
My thanks to Anvilcloud, thoughtful gentleman and user of Photoshop.

I see blue in the poster.
ReplyDeleteThat is beyond fabulous!
ReplyDeleteJulia really aims high! She is going to go places. In US the entreprener spirit of 10 years old is a lemonaide stand, unless tacky city regulations come by and shut them down.
ReplyDeleteShe is the real thing. She will go far in life. Good for Julia! Evelyn
ReplyDeleteWith all those qualities, she does not need the "low price" option!
ReplyDeleteJulia has a brilliant future in marketing!!!!
ReplyDeleteAn absolute joy!! :) My hat's off to Julia!!
ReplyDeleteSending hugs ~
We'd better save this. If she doesn't get rich she made need to use it later in life. If she does get rich we'll want to tell this story again. Your other fraction,
