Glad these guys are taking the trash out.


OVERTON, TX (KLTV) -A lemonade stand operated by two young girls received national attention after police asked for a permit. Wednesday, police released the video of their encounter with the girls' mother.

In the video, released by the Overton Police Department, the first question to the girls' mother was in reference to a permit.

You see in the video the city's code enforcement officer drive up to the location of the girls' stand, get out, and ask for their mother. Once the officer identifies the mother, she asks about the permit. Both women are off-camera.

"You get a permit with the city to serve this?" the officer asks.

"I didn't know I had to," the mother replies.

"Yes ma'am," the officer says.

"Really?" the mother asks, "for a lemonade stand? I had no clue."

"Yes ma'am," the officer replies.

A moment later the mothers says, "I knew we had to for garage sales and stuff like that, but I didn't know little kids had to for a lemonade stand."

I wouldn't say this is common but it is about the third or fourth time I've read a similar tale. Kids selling something, maybe even seeds door to door (Remember those from comic books? Sell so many seeds and win a prize!!! The prize was always a rip off. If they indeed sent it.) Turns out modern society can't handle it without a regulation.
