My little apprentice
While watching Celebrity Apprentice last night (it was the finale, and the first time I'd watched) my husband reminded me of some funny things by daughter has said, and why we think she's going to be the female version of Donald Trump.... About a year ago (she was 5 at the time), she and my husband were working around the yard and out of the blue she says to him, "Dad, can you own part of a business?" Although a little startled at her very grown-up question, he answered, "Well, as a matter of fact you can, it's called stock." As she pondered that for a minute, he said "Why do you ask?" She replied, "I don't know, I was just thinking about it." Okay, then. A few months later, we went to Chevy's for dinner and as we were waiting for our food she asked us "Is it hard to run a business?" We told her it depended on the type of businesses but that generally, yes, running a restaurant is a lot of work. "Why do you ask?" we said. "I don't know, I was just thinking about it." Okay, then. Her Trump-like spirit continued a few weeks later as I was clearing out some old toys and books from her room. She had the brilliant idea that instead of GIVING the toys and books away, we should make a sign and go out on the corner and SELL it. She was really, really disappointed that I didn't support her quest to run her own business. I hate to stifle her ambition, but I had to draw the line. The world will just have to wait a few more years for the next Apprentice. 2 comments from 2 users

Your daughter sounds like she'll be very spirited as she grows up. So cool. And, you may be able to retire in the lap of luxury one day if she is so enterprising. :)

Perhaps she'll be the author of the next big "You Tube" type thing. Relax easy, sounds like she'll be a millionaire by the time she's 20.
