Working for SnowCones Cell Phones

Would you like to know what a summer baby sitting job can buy you now-a-days?


Yes, Miss Mae used her hard earned baby sitting money to purchase this new phone. Her "old" phone, had seen better days...and for months she's been asking for a new one. This cheap thrifty mom, told her she would have to wait.
Well, wait she did....but she earned the money all herself.
When it came to getting paid for babysitting, back in my day, I had about enough money to afford one of these:
And, can you believe, she actually will have a little baby sitting money left?

10 people got crazee and lived to tell about it:

I think I need to quit blogging and go get a babysitting job.

Wow! Nice phone! And the snow cone looks yummy too!

babysitting helped pay my college education

of course i would never say snow cones are not important

I know! Can you believe it?! I remember earning a PENNY for each chore I did. And it always went to candy. Then by the time I was in high school, a month of babysitting would maybe buy me ONE pair of jeans. Now, gesh. No wonder people are so broke all the time these days (besides the economy, of course)

Wow, she must be babysitting for like Brangelina or something!! :-) I remember getting paid like $5 a day or something.

Something tells me nobody knew about child labor laws back then.
