I admit it. I’m addicted to Girl Scout Cookie Thin Mints.
And Thin Mint season has arrived on my doorstep courtesy of my little neighbor who is a Girl Scout. My children went nuts seeing the 5 boxes of Thin Mints waiting for them me.
Oh but I am just narcissist enough NOT to want MY cookies scarfed down in days by my three boys. So I told them ALL the cookies are mine. But, I would sell them a box of their own for $5.00. And I cautioned them to make any box they purchased last. I conveniently neglected to inform them of the 10 boxes I’d ordered from the Girl Scout friend of my niece who no longer sold cookies.
The 12 year old promptly lent the 10 year old (who was broke having spent ALL his money on a Lego set) $5.00 and then purchased his own box. The two of them shared some cookies with the 8 year old who was lamenting he only had $3.00 in his wallet.
Then it ocurred to me. What was I going to do when my neighbor was no longer a Girl Scout. So I quickly went online and checked the Girl Scout website. With a sigh of relief I saw they had a beautiful directory where they would direct your desperate cry for cookies email order to a Girl Scout.
Whew.. I was worried there I’d have to haunt the local elementary schools looking for a new “cookie dealer” every 4 years or so!
