When I was a kid I went with my parents to the farmers market every weekend and stopped in the candy dealers there. I made a killing buying wholesale candy and selling it out of my backpack when they banned it at our school. Parents thought it was funny until I was caught, then the school came down hard on them. I still remember my dad getting in the principles face when he started blaming him for lack of discipline in our home. (Dad was a firm believer in spare the rod spoil the child but couldn't find fault in me making money selling chocolate to fat kids at a premium)
