Abstract
The word "concession" can be defined as "something agreed to, usually grudgingly, as an acknowledgement of defeat." How appropriate, then, that I was tapped to help operate a concession stand at my daughter's recent hunt-seat equestrian show. (Apparently, horse show audiences don't mind their nachos seasoned with a hint of manure.) Concession stand work is a common fate of parents whose children seem devoted to hijacking every possible weekend on the calendar with expensive sporting activities, and I think the show organizers figured the concession stand was where I could inflict the least amount of damage. Besides, it would give me something to do in the hours before and after my daughter's rides, other than timing myself to see how long I could avoid using the portable toilet.
