You know, I mean, you could sell things like world's finest chocolate, which everybody has at least tried once. And, you know, oranges, jams and other candies. But I wanted to be queen of my nursery school. And every year they would have a fundraiser, which would be a Mardi Gras ball. And that Mardi Gras ball, you get to dress up and walk down the aisle.

And there's a king and there's a queen in their court. And I just thought it was the coolest little thing. I went there two years in a row. But so it came time to raise the money. And what you do is you do things. So my mom, she decided to sell candy from the front room. So she'd go and buy some wholesale candy. And we were right down the street from the school.

So naturally, kids would come and get on the doorstep and buy candy. You had to be pretty popular. Yeah, yeah, learn how to fight, too. But so, you know, she was pretty good, you know, sell candy and cookies and stuff like that and raised some pretty good money and turned it in. But when we turned it in, I wasn't queen. I didn't have enough money to be queen. I was...

And it was cool, you know, I got to wear this big, beautiful yellow dress, but I wasn't queen. When the queen walked up, you know, the aisle, I was like, man, look at her, man, I could be queen. So we started early that next year, you know. Of course, they never stopped coming to the door anyway.

And by the time it was time to turn in the money, we had a whole lot more money than we had the year before. But it was my last year there. I had basically aged out. So my mom, she explained that to me. I was four. And she said, now, I know you want to be queen, but we could do one of two things. We could take all of this money and turn it in and you can be queen.

You walk down that aisle as queen. I'm like, yeah. She said, or we could take half the money and you probably won't be queen, but you could still walk down the aisle and you'll have some money saved. You know, you start saving money and, you know, you grew up, you have more. I was four. So what I wanted to do was take all the money and even add some more and be queen. I mean, I just did, you know.

But I looked at my mom and I know what I was supposed to say. Even though I was four, I knew what I was supposed to say. So I said, okay, we'll do that. And that's what we did. And I still wound up being first maid. But I was okay with it because when the queen walked down the aisle this time, I'm like, yeah, I gave you that.
