LEMONADE, THAT COOL REFRESHING DRINK

BULLETIN: Kid criminals are on the rise. It's a phenomenon that is sweeping the nation. Officials claim the criminals they catch are getting younger and younger. And it's not just in the big cities, it's spreading to rural America like a wildfire. We go now to the tiny town of Midway, GA where we have police chief Kelly Morningstar on the scene.

Morningstar: We couldn't believe what we were seeing. We had to take action fast to protect the fine citizens of Midway. A 14 year old girl and a 10 year old girl, TEN, operating a lemonade stand without a permit. We had to shut it down quick.

Well, I'm glad the people of Midway are safe and.........

wait.......

WHAT???!!!!!!

That's right ladies and gentlemen, Midway, Georgia's finest shut down a lemonade stand that 3 young girls were running to make some money to go to a water park, because they were breaking the law by operating their stand without a business and food permit - which will run you $50 a day in Midway.

The police chief says, (and this is a real quote), "We were not aware of how the lemonade was made, who made the lemonade, of what the lemonade was made with, so we acted accordingly by city ordinance."

Holy sour face, Batman! Are you kidding me? It's 3 girls making lemonade in a small podunk town where everybody probably knows everybody. Did CSI have to come out and run tests on the lemonade? I understand SWAT was on standby. Thankfully the little girls didn't have to get some Jack Bauer all up in their faces.

These girls probably should have opened a lemonade/donut stand, and I'd bet they'd be buying season passes to the water park by now. With a police freaking escort every day. And that's without selling a drop of lemonade.

I guess one positive in all of this would be that crime is pretty low in Midway. So low that the police have nothing better to do than to bust up lemonade stand crime rings. They must have been onto these girls from the moment they walked out of the Piggly Wiggly with an unusual amount of lemons and sugar. "Alright boys, I think we're about to bust this case wide open."

Way to go Midway police!! Got to get up pretty early in the morning to get one past you guys.

In other news, local boy tased for mowing grass without a permit.
