This kid deserves a medal...

Quite shocking to see that this kid risks being suspended from his school, he deserves a medal. He's got a bright future ahead regardless!

Did you guys ever do anything similar when you were young? Lemonade stands etc?

Good on him! Talk about a born entrepreneur!

At 15, he already has two employees and obviously, a terrific markup. Kid'll be rich one day, I imagine.

Why, oh why, wasn't I like that at 15 instead of babysitting for 50 cents an hour?

I was always eager to earn my own money when I was younger, and I thought like Tommie did. However, my school was quick to stop even the trading of food on the school yard. We were not supposed to share food or bring sweets of any kind. We still did quietly, but I never tried to sell my peers my own homemade cupcakes.
