We’re supposed to be selling Girl Scout cookies. No, this is not a solicitation. I wouldn’t go breaking the rules now, would I? No. And endure the wrath of the Girl Scout czars? Uh-uhhhh.
In fact, we may not be selling any cookies at all. Except to feed my addiction to Thin Mints. And possibly, Samoans Samosas. Cuz those are yummy, too.
The Kid is new to this Girl Scout thing. Hell, I’m new to it. As a kindergartener and a “Daisy” Girl Scout, the Kid does not have heavy pressure to sellsellsell from the troop leaders. Which turns out to be good, because once I explained how the selling process works, and the paperwork involved, she noticed one fact she did not care for.
“You mean, after we sell the cookies, we have to give the money to someone else?!?”
“I hate Girl Scouts! I quit!”
So, I may be our only customer.
Here’s my latest argument for the Kid to sell cookies:
“If Mommy has to buy all the cookies, then Mommy’s butt may squish you to death at snuggle time.”
Sell cookies or die. That’s gonna be my message. That oughta work, right?

I never like selling cookies. It is purely out of sympathy that I buy some every year from our neighbor girl…even though I do love Samosas (formerly known as Caramel Delights).

Love cookies! Your kid has the right idea
Came over from Jenny’s. Your daughter is exactly right. My daughter has been a GS for 9 years. We got tired of all the money going out of our troop to fund who knows what. They finally just quit selling them. Good luck though. Send me a box of Tagalongs.
