How do you even spell tycoon?
Any way.
So Truman will randomly want to try and make some money, scratch, mula, bones etc. by selling stuff from around the house. Most of the time he wants to set up a stand on the side walk for this purpose but I haven't ever let him. Mostly because I don't want to sit out there with him but also because the stuff he wants to sell is a little unusual and I think our neighbors might find us to be odd (which we are, but why should they know about it?).
For example, Truman recently came up with the scheme to set up a business selling cotton balls out front. Why cotton balls? I have no idea, apparently he feels there is a high demand for them around here. When I told him that he could not set up a cotton ball stand outside(also there was still snow on the ground at this point) I thought that would be the end of it. But oh no, our little man came up with an alternate scheme.

This is what I found in the bathroom.
He made a little sign with a person holding a large cotton ball and 5 cents (the cent sign is backward), then he taped the sign to the cotton ball container and put a little mug in front to collect the 5 cents you are supposed to pay when you use a cotton ball. He has not had much business yet. His dad is the one who uses cotton balls most often and he refuses to pay for something he bought for the household in the first place.
At some point I am sure he will hit on a really great business idea and then we will all be rich!

that is awesome! my little six-year-old nephew does the same thing. too bad i don't live closer to you guys. i'd totally buy a cotton ball.
Well, come to our book club and you can buy one from our jar!
Wow, what a man, and I've got to say he looks pretty darn good in a suit!
Truman is brilliant. He needs to hang out with boys more so he can get them rich someday!
