Funny, but I never had a route as a kid.
I did from 5th grade until I was 16. I wanted to get a Siberian Husky. Parents told me if I got the money, I could buy one. Got a paper route in 5th grade, it was a local once a week paper with voluntary payment. Had that for about a year, then the daily paper route opens up, did that until I could legally work at 16. Yes, I got a Siberian Husky pup.
