Job Hunting

We are looking for a job. Any of you that have something, let us know. The only hitch is that it's for a 6 year old! Last week, Seth announced that he wanted to get a job so that he can earn $400. He thinks he absolutely NEEDS an Xbox 360. His first idea was to work in the snack shack at the baseball fields because, "It's easy work. All you have to do is ask people what they want and then tell them how much it is." When I told him that he wasn't quite old enough to do that, he couldn't understand why because he's good at math and money. So, now he's looking for a job. He's thought of babysitting, selling all his toys, and mowing the lawn. Unfortunately, his mean mom has shot down all of them. Last night, after much frustation with no job for him, he asked,"How do you MAKE money?" Yes, he's thinking of starting up a counterfeit operation. What 6 year old thinks like this? And to top it off, he's started forging my initials on his homework papers (and quite well, too!) I'm afraid if we don't find him a job soon, he'll end up in jail. Anyone know an employer that hires child labor?
