Well, you’re not the first one to comment on this. And it has me a little interested.
She was wearing what appeared to be a Brownie uniform, complete with little hat. I am pretty sure it was not a Girl Scout uniform, but maybe I don’t know the difference that well.
She had a clipboard with an “official” looking order sheet on it, and a color brouchure that showed cookie boxes.
I don’t have any idea when the GSA starts selling cookies in any area. Maybe something was up? Did I hallucinate her due to low blood sugar? Was she really my Spirit Guide come to pay a visit, and thus I have now forever been denied the true path to understanding? Was she a ghost? Me in an alternate universe come to visit myself? Was she really, as some suggested, working for a Brownshirt Nazi organization intent on World domination? (Some cookies, meine Frau?)
How can I find out if they are selling in the KC area even? This really has me wondering now…
So, it could be legitimate. sigh And there I was, hoping for a career as a fraudulent Brownie, selling cookies to diabetics. All my dreams go up in smoke.
You are? Damme, I’d ask for your autograph, but you’d probably beat me to death with a baseball bat or something like that.
(HBI appears, by its name and by the internal links, to sarcastically recognize those assholes who believe that there is no middle ground between being a Heartless Bitch and being a doormat. I thoroughly agree with them (HBI, that is, not the assholes). And nobody made me write this. Really.)
I am the “cookie mom” for my daughter’s girl scout troop. Yes, Brownies can sell cookies at the troop leader’s discretion. Ditto for Girl Scouts. No troop has to sell cookies. Other fundraisers are less time consuming with far more profit per item, but cookie sales are usually received favorably in the community and “sell themselves” - Anthracite aside.
Here in Ohio, the cookie orders start in January, to be delivered in March. Girls are on their honor to wait until January x, the official start date (don’t know it off hand) because pre-selling, especially door-to-door, is unfair to other scouts. If she was pre-selling, you had every right to be rude. In fact, you should have tortured her – teaching her a lesson and also helping her earn her S&M badge!
BTW, if anyone wants to buy some, please e-mail me…oh, I’m only kidding.
