As many of you probably know, this is girl scout cookie season. The young ladies are in the process of delivering cookies to your house as we speak or as soon as school lets out if you don't live in Kentucky. Once this is accomplished they will set up their posts at your local grocery store to sell off the remaining cookies. Beth once received some very helpful advice from a grocery store cashier to help with running the gauntlet between the exit doors and our car, "Don't look them in the eye." Too sweet are these girls.
We bought a couple boxes from the young lady who lives across the street from us. She came to deliver them on Sunday. She and her little sister handed us our boxes and Beth asked how much we owed. The scout said that she thought we already paid. Even though she is 40 years our junior, we figured her memory of such things was probably more reliable than ours. However, 5 minutes later there was a knock on our door by the two youngsters saying we were correct and we did still owe money for the cookies. I'm guessing that we had already paid but their cookie pimp told them that if we weren't sure to hit us up again. We are exactly the type of demographic (aka old people) who fall for phone scams and send money to George in Jamaica to help collect his lottery winnings.
Next comes the purpose for this story. The younger sister was quite adorable. However, it turns out that she was the goon of the duo. I like to play with minds of the kids that come to our door asking for money, but she was prepared. When they asked for the money this time and I said no, the little one looked at me and said, "GIVE ME MONEY!" Beth and I have walked around the house all week holding our hand out to the other and saying, "Give me money." Beth is so cute when she does it that I am almost broke.
So watch for the cookie monsters in your area and be prepared for the same kind of strong arm tactics we were subjected to. If you live in Texas, I'm guessing shotguns are involved.
Steve, insulting Texas and Kentucky since 2014.
Now, if you'll excuse me, there is a sleeve of do-si-dos with my name on it. Don't mind if I do-si-do.

Unfortunately, my three boxes of thin mints are ancient history by now. I feel proud of myself for making them last almost one week before I completely finished them off. I even put them in the freezer thinking they would last longer, but did you know that frozen thin mints are just as delicious?
ReplyDeleteNot only do I have a girl scout-cookie-selling daughter, but I have been the Cookie Mom for her troop for years which means our house is stacked to the rafters with cookies and cash from said cookies. I can assure you shotguns are involved!
ReplyDeleteI want to share with you all on how Dr Itua saves my life with his powerful Herbal medicines, I was diagnosed of Oral/Ovarian Cancer which i suffered from for 5 years with no positive treatment until when My son came to me in the hospital when i was laying down on my dying bed waiting for god to call out my name to join him in heaven.
ReplyDeleteMy son was so excited that very day he came across Dr Itua on Blogspot, we decided to give him a try although we Americans are so scared to trust Africans but i really have no choice that time to choose life in between so we gave a try to Dr Itua Herbal medicines, god willing he was a good man with a god gift.
