If I had a rainy day, I would not make any money and tend to lose money because some days I would get no customers. On the ninth day of the lemonade project I didn't make lemonade so I can save my money so I do not go out of business.
Water & Blood When Auntie invited Brook, Mom and me to go with her and Trent to Noah's Ark Water Park, Dad demanded to know why he wasn’t invited.
