Anyone wanna buy a light bulb?

They aren't just any light bulb...they are environmentally friendly light bulbs. 

Yesterday Carter came home from school with a school fundraiser packet to sell environmentally friendly light bulbs.  What school sells light bulbs for a fundraiser?  And who would be the idiot to buy one for a whopping fifteen dollars???  When he pulled it out of his backpack he was so excited to tell me all about it... He told me that he would only have to sell 30 to get an iPod Shuffle and then asked me how many I wanted to buy...  I told him that we are NOT selling light bulbs for $15 each and his response was, "but they're environmentally friendly and we need to save the environment."

Well, today when we went to my mom's house we had only been there for a few minutes and he tells her, "Wow Grandma, I'm so proud of you... You have environmentally friendly light bulbs."  Of course she could not stop laughing!  She thought that just came out of nowhere.  And then I explained that his school is selling light bulbs that are good for the environment, so he checks out everybody's light bulbs.

What ever happend to selling cookie dough or greeting cards?
