Cartweels
FOUND by Kate and Ross in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
We picked this up on our weekend walk - Great marketing!
Sarah in chicago.
my sister and i used to make faux advertisements like this when we were little. we also made restaurant menus, lists of school children, and basketball teams.

oh, how we wanted to grow up.

This would have definitely been worth my parents money. I wish they would have offered roller skating too! I'm 30 and I can't do either, damnit!

The best part about this is how unathletic the drawings of the boy and girl are, they look like theyre really tired or something. Great Find.

Actually, the drawings are way more sophisticated than the lettering. I wonder if it was a team effort, with one kid drawing and the other writing.

We used to put on plays and charge the family a nickel or quarter to watch us. Fun times :-)

well, they are from canada, so possibly speak french also?
in french you use commas in place of periods, so that would be $20.00.

For one month, your child will come home doing cartwheels (kind of like the old man in that "knick knack paddy whack" song).

When that one month is over, you'll have to send them back for retraining (for an additional $20,00).

When I was a kid, my brother, some friends and I caught some sea creatures in the local rockpools and put them in plastic tubs along the sea wall. We charged people 10p to look at our "aquarium". I think I was about 7 years old, and my mum got angry because we took someones money. I think one guy paid, and it was a palmful of coppers, lol.

Flargy,
It would only been 20.00 if the whole thing was in french, yes, we use French is Canada, but not everyone knows it, maybe 1 in 5. In Quebec and New Brunswick many more. Anyways we don't just mix the 2 languages together... ever. So its probably 2,000
