So I’m watching Giuliana & Bill and don’t even get me started on what’s wrong with that sentence. I know. But I’m watching Bill spend the evening with his nieces making friendship bracelets, the kind made from embroidery floss? Then they go around to a couple stores & sell them for, get this, $5 each! Really? That’s some profit margin, and I know this for fact because I’ve just started embroidering and embroidery floss is like, 37 cents each. Anyway, the store starts with a “small collection” and pays the girls $100. I’m thinking, how sweet. The store manager is supporting the girls, even though their asking price is a oh, a tad high.

During the little interview sessions Giuliana & Bill did together, Bill said he “might have made a few calls before going to the stores”. And I’m just not sure what to think of that. Again, I’m completely horrified that I’m A. watching Giuliana & Bill and that 2. I’M PUTTING THIS MUCH THOUGHT INTO GIULIANA & BILL.

My point is, what is teaching the kids really? They seemed like perfectly nice young girls, and they seemed genuinely surprised that they received $100 for their wares, but it was hardly realistic.

I’m just saying.
