day 83

Today I am thankful for a bit of cheap advertising. Ok, so maybe this is more classified as child labour.......but we were busy in the shop and Oscar was hanging around and was getting a little bored. He had already 'helped' with a batch of sausages pushing the leaver for the apprentice, but once that was done he was at a bit of a loose end. So I sent him out the front of the shop with some leaflets to hand out, with the promise that we would pay him $1 for all his hard work. Well, who can resist a 5 year old handing out leaflets???? NO-ONE!! He handed out hundreds! I did pay him a little more since he was out there for about an hour melting everyones hearts!! He loved it so much and wants to go back for another round tomorrow!!

P.S. Possibly the cutest part was that he sat down and ticked each one of the first batch so that everyone would know that it was 'good'
PPS. The other really cute part was that he wanted a tray so he could collect some money of the passers by (as if he was busking). I assured him that no-one would pay him for handing out leaflets and it might be better to learn guitar if he wanted to busk. He was not convinced and is sure I cost him some money since I didnt let him have a tray outside today.
