There Is Always Real Life Money In The Real Life Banana Stand

Aww! A couple of girls in Texas were inspired by Arrested Development, and so they opened their own banana stand. So good! From the Austin Decider:

Last year, Notario found herself sidelined by illness for nearly a week, unable to do anything other than sit on the couch and watch DVDs of Arrested Development, Mitchell Hurwitz's late, lamented show about a dysfunctional family of wealthy screw-ups whose unscrupulous patriarch got his start selling frozen bananas to tourists along the boardwalk.

"It was 3 a.m., and I was delusional from medicine," Notario says. "And I had the idea to open my own banana stand."

Oh it's cute. You're opening a business!

"People say, 'Oh it's cute. You're opening a business,'" Notario says. "But there's nothing cute about electrical sanding. A lot of people helped us. We had to organize it. We stained and painted and primed. It was a lot of work."

Sorry! I was not trying to denigrate your work ethic! Anyway, let's be real: that is cute. They have a Facebook group! THESE GIRLS ARE ON THEIR GRIND. Let's paint, exercise, and open our own small businesses based loosely on TV shows that we enjoy, you guys.
