At Woodend FM
Two young children, boy and girl about 10 and 8 y.o , approach the stall with big smiles on. Their parents were behind them talking to stallholders nearby.
Boy: Can we have a taste please? (he asks eagerly)
Me: Of course! Here you go. (I hand him and his sister a sample. Mum approaches and I hand her some too.)
Mum: What’s in it?
Me: The main ingredient is beetroot, over 40%, and all these nutritious delicious goodies (I point to the ingredient lists). Dehydrated, no sugar added and no preservatives.
Mum: Wow. (turns to her kids) Did you like that? (they nod their heads in unison) We’ll have a look around first, ok? (turns to me) Thank you so much.
Me: You’re welcome!
Mum and daughter come back an hour later.
Me: Hey you’re back!
Mum: Yes, Lindsay’s come to a decision. (turns to daughter) Are you sure you want this? (Lindsay nods) How much money do you have left?
Lindasay: three dollars
Mum: Ok, I’ll give you two more. (turns to me) They have $5 market money.
Me: Fantastic! Which one were you after? (Lindsay points to PM Berries) Here you go. (she hands me her money which Mum tops up) Well done Lindsay, thank you so much!
Such an important step in a young person’s life to make wise choices. Well done Mum & Dad!
Lindsay’s in the pink ?
