The situation has squashed a lot of economic opportunities, including innocent little lemonade stands. But now there's a bailout plan for that too, and kids can get a $100 stimulus check.
Police in Overton, Tex. shut down a lemonade stand operated by two sisters, ages 7 and 8, because they didn't have a permit. And that was just the beginning of their nightmare.
In an attempt to garner the title "World's Meanest Robbers," a couple in Houston held up a charity lemonade stand run by 13-year-old Chelsea Edwards and her two friends.
Gage Turner, 20, and Amber Umbarger, 21, allegedly approached the lemonade booth, inquired about the cost and then grabbed the money jar and ran.
