Making the most (money) out of a bad situation...
Entrepreneurship: COVID-Style
by Y. M. Roger
“Mo-o-om! Where’s my hairclip?”
“Hey, mom! You see my I-Pad?”
It was incessant. How did they survive at college?
Suddenly having all four of them home had Jonathan, my late-in-life twelve-year-old, and myself re-adjusting to a daily crowd. At least during the summers, they had jobs or classes. Now, they just lost things and ignored us.
“Look in your rooms!” My husband shouted.
A grinning Jonathan walked by muttering ‘shoulda picked it up’.
I chuckled at him… until dinnertime:
Jonathan hefted a loaded duffle onto the table, displayed his first item, and announced, “Bids are now open for Tommy’s I-Pad…”
