Calling All Teenagers

Calling all teenagers: I have the perfect job for you. Would you like to make some really last minute Christmas money? Do you like to stay up late? Are you half way decent at following directions? (I know that's a tough one for a lot of you.) Here's my advice for you:
  1. Print out a business card with your cell phone number included
  2. Go to the mall, grocery store, basically anywhere where you expect to find some tired, worn-out parents running errands with their screaming children
  3. Explain to said parents that you would be willing to come over at midnight, 2 am etc. when they realize they have no idea how to put their kids Christmas toys together and frankly are too tired to care. As a bonus you'll also figure out the seemingly simple but yet very complicated software that goes with their child's FP3 player and download songs onto it
  4. Keep your cell phone on extra loud on Christmas Eve so you'll be sure to hear when it rings
  5. Rake in the big bucks as the parents began to call you for help
