when I first started I wanted something cool to make my booth stand apart, which was like a little hand drawn sign that basically said Electric Sweets, you know, buy five get one free And spent, you know, a week or two doing the sign, basically the first day we allowed dogs at our farmer's market, and three dogs peed on my sign And then I decided at that moment that I no longer care about the sign I cared, but not enough to want to invest any more time into it because I then beyond what the dogs peeing on it were going People will step on it, people will run over it, people will basically I still kept it, but as much effort into nearly making it look badass
