This story is about one concerned mother, her little boy, and a stranger next to a van. She wasn’t expecting this to take place at all and when it did, tears rolled down her cheeks.
Innocence is at its best in kids and for that reason, parents have all the rights in the world to be worried about their kids. At least when they are too young to understand the difference between wrong and right by themselves. They need guidance, support, and to be looked after most of the times. With kids, all it takes is just one moment of carelessness and it might result in a lifetime of regret. Parents’ fear for their kids is therefore perfectly valid.
Summer Plans
Adam Houssami was 5 years old when this incidence took place. It all started with an idea to do something efficient during the summer vacations. The little boy has been thinking about different ways to earn a little more pocket money. And his mother finally gave the idea she thought to be the safest.
Strict Instructions
Adam Houssami used to live with his family in Dearborn, Michigan. Just like any other mother would do, Krista, Adam’s mother instructed him not to talk to any stranger and play where all the kids stay. She didn’t want her son to feel shattered just because she won’t allow him to work on his plan. It was a fun thing for Adam to do until his mother grew suspicious about a stranger who was trying to talk to her son. So, what was it?
Little Entrepreneur
Adam was insisting to set up a Kool-Aid stall in his front yard to earn more money. At first, his mother tried to convince him on giving up this idea but the little one made a strong point. When the 5-year-old said that it wasn’t just about earning but to learn something. His mother was impressed by the little one’s efforts and agreed but only on one condition.
Keeping An Eye
Krista put her condition in front of Adam, it was that she’ll stay there as long as he’ll be putting up the stall. Krista’s intentions were just to protect her boy what she didn’t know was that if something bad has to take place then she will not be able to stop it anyway. Adam instantly agreed and they made a deal.
Kool-Aid Stall
So, Adam told his mom that he’ll be selling one cup of Kool-Aid for 50 cents. After seeing him excited, his mother too encouraged him to do everything by himself. The guy was planning on saving a good amount of pocket money but it was not as easy as it looks now.
Father Not In Favor
Adam’s father wasn’t in favor of this all lemonade stand’s idea. He was worried about his son’s health who could easily fall sick. According to him, it was better to spend the hot summer days inside the home but Krista took the responsibility just for her kid’s happiness.
