Small Girls Become Zucchini-Selling Outlaws (with Bonus Lemonade Stand Download)

A burgeoning fruit and veggie empire threatens law and order in Clayton, California:

Eleven-year-old Katie and three-year-old Sabrina Lewis have been selling spare melons, radishes, and of course, zucchini from their family garden at a roadside stand on Saturday mornings. Recently, the cops showed up to bust them. 

"They said traffic was being stopped and then they came up with we can't have a roadside stand and then they said it was a commercial enterprise," said Katie Lewis.

Hilariously, the mayor defends the decision to shut down this tiny lesson in capitalism, preferring to make it a tiny lesson in bureaucracy instead. His defense:

"They may start out with a little card-table and selling a couple of things, but then who is to say what else they have. Is all the produce made there, do they grow it themselves? Are they going to have eggs and chickens for sale next," said Clayton Mayor Gregg Manning.

The mayor later called the girls and their father "self-centered."

For those who were in elementary school in the 1980s, you can now relive the pixelated glory that was the Lemonade Stand computer game, which encouraged this kind of abominable, self-centered capitalist behavior in school kids. And in the name of learning math, no less. Go ahead, download Lemonade Stand and play a round as a gesture of solidarity with the Lewis girls. You know you want to.

Thanks John Schwenkler!

I don't know, there is something creepy about little girls selling phallic vegetables.

Elemenope | August 21, 2008, 2:30pm | #

It sounds like some mayor's house needs to be "zucchinied". Or, failed that, a dozen eggs should suffice.

"They said traffic was being stopped and then they came up with we can't have a roadside stand and then they said it was a commercial enterprise," said Katie Lewis.

Yes, little Katie, always remember that commercial enterprise = bad.

First lemonade, then zucchini ... and then inevitably, these little girls will start selling pussy. We can't have tiny little whores selling pussy on our streets!
Shut it down! Shut it down!

Unlicensed business harmless?

Yeah, they start with a little homegrown produce or lemonade but it all leads to the same place...

Here's the hinted quote from the mayor:

"I wish everyone would follow the rules and not be just self-centered," said Manning.

I'm sure you and your police officers never speed either.

Occam's toothbrush | August 21, 2008, 2:35pm | #

Jamie Kelly,

They were selling melons, too! I mean, obviously the girls had no idea what they were doing, but that the parents would let them juxtapose zucchini and melons? I can't believe it, call DCFS.

Elemenope | August 21, 2008, 2:36pm | #

p.s. for an eleven-year-old, she's got quite the vocabulary, and self-possession to boot.

Dear god, not eggs and chicken! Oh the humanity!

Yeah, that was my reaction. I wonder if when those words were coming out of the mayor's mouth he realized just how idiotic they sounded.

Well, well, well . . . what do we have here? Little girl you got a permit for sell these vegetables? What? They're fruit? (Kicks over stand, smashes produce) Why aren't you in school anyway? Oh? That's your excuse? It's Saturday? (Proceeds to taser young girl) That'll teach ya'. (Proceeds to call for back up, plants knife next to little girls hand)

This one of the reason's I should never be given power.

The Extispicator | August 21, 2008, 2:45pm | #

I'm quite disappointed in the city's handling of this. They should have known to use the SWAT team to taze and cuff these girls before questioning. I mean, if they had the gall to run an unlicensed business, who knows what else they may have had there? Weed? Guns? I'm sure a California judge would have signed a no-knock warrant on these facts.

Go with the eggs. The guy across the street in high school got his car egged. Didn't notice it for two days. Took to a spray wash place and the paint peeled right off.

(No. It wasn't me who egged him. But I did throw a stop sign, from a moving car, like a giant frisbee right through a guy's front windshield. But he had it coming.)

Episiarch | August 21, 2008, 2:47pm | #

I'm surprised they didn't just demand 30% of the cut instead of shutting them down. Hell, maybe they did and she blew them off.

Jamie Kelly | August 21, 2008, 2:49pm | #

I just wrote an e-mail to the mayor:

Congratulations, you disgusting, petty little tyrant.

You’ve given those little girls a wonderful lesson in bureaucracy and arbitrary use of power.

Here’s hoping your ass is out on the street come November.

Maybe then you’ll be reduced to selling dogshit from a dogshit stand. Or do you need a permit for that?

Jerk.

It's not hard to make a logical case for allowing 11 and 3 year olds to sell vegetables, but only if you disregard the practical effects of letting them do something that many of them are not mature enough to handle.

Neil, you ignorant slut. Getting a vendor's license in most cities means filling out a form and paying a fee. The bureaucrats don't actually go the farms of those who sell produce at farmers' markets and inspect the fields for e. coli then wash the vegetables to make sure their safe.

Regulations are all about fees and taxes, not making sure vendors sell safe products.

Neu Mejican | August 21, 2008, 4:09pm | #

Under California law, farmers may only sell directly to consumers – rather than middlemen, retailers or resellers – only at the point of production or in an area certified by a county Agricultural Commissioner for sale of farm products: a Certified Farmers’ Market.

Only California-grown agriculture may be sold in a Certified Farmers’ Market. These agriculture products include fruits, vegetables, greens, nuts, herbs, berries, eggs, flowers, nursery stock and honey.

The fee to sell at the farmer's market is 75 dollars, so I think the girls are better off staying with a stand at the point of production.

Actually, city councilman Greg Manning (whose term expires this November -- don't know if he is running again) IS the mayor. Like my own city of Santa Cruz, Clayton (near Concord) has an elected city council, and the mayorship rotates between the council members. A city manager, taking direction from the council, handles the nuts and bolts of running each city. Interestingly enough, the current city manager in Clayton is Gary A. Napper, who was previously city manager for Morro Bay CA -- a town that has recently been in H&R discussions and on Reason TV with Drew Carey, because of the federal persecution of a medical marijuana dispensary there.

Hey Kolohe -- I see now that you corrected yourself on the mayoral situation before I made my comment. Not trying to beat you over the head with it; I was more interested in the link to another city that has figured in H&R discussions recently. I wonder if the city manager had anything to do with getting the med mj dispensary in Morro Bay, and if so, whether he gave any cautionary advice to the Clayton mayor before the latter made an ass of himself in the media. I mean, if Number 1 can't keep the Captain out of trouble with the hostile Mediazoids, what good is he? ;-)

Not only is the fee for the farmer's market $75, but they would also be required to have $500,000 worth of insurance. A general contractor only needs $100,000 of insurance.

Kudos to the mayor and his heroic display of consumer protection. I recently patronized a lemonaid stand staffed by what appeared to be an 8 year old entrepreneur.

Right on, Cactus and Looseleaf. I always stop at kids' home stands; love to encourage young entrepreneurs. I was an adult when I played Lemonade Stand with my teenaged sister on the family's first computer, an Apple IIC.
I saw a news report about two boys who had built a boat out of plywood, which sank, and after the boys were rescued they were fined for something like sailing in an unlicensed craft. (What would Huck Finn say?) I think they should have been lauded for their initiative, and not sitting around playing video games all day (an hour or so is fun, and they probably do that too, and why not?) but to have the confidence, imagination, and parental encouragment to do something more active/productive [presumably so in the case of the veggie stand, probably not in the boat-building episode] is something we should all appreciate.
The Clayton police force and mayor need real jobs; they've obviously run out of anything worthwhile to do.
