Lemonade Stand Left Sour Taste

Who’s in the mood for an uncute kids story? It turns out not all children are adorable. “The reason I write is to relate a lemonade stand story that happened to me last Saturday (5/28),” wrote Jeffrey Wisman. “These kids weren’t as nice as those you meet. “I went for a bike ride. Early into the ride I stopped at a stop sign. Across the street, about 50 feet to my right, were three girls about 10 years old. They called out, ‘Hey, you want some lemonade? Hey, you want some lemonade? You in the blue shirt.’ “I said, ‘It’s not hot enough. I’m not hot enough yet.’ “Their reply: ‘You’re retarded!’”/Paul Turner, The Slice. More here.
