Dear Girl Scouts:
You think I didn't catch onto your 'I expect 100% participation' line? Pleaassseee?! And note; I am the current title holder-reigning Queen of passive aggressive. And I don't give up my tiaras that easily. So back off. Yeah, we will troll the neighborhood in sub freezing conditions to make money for the troop. We might even enjoy it. I don't promise the money will make it back, what with my emergency surgery to have my hands amputated after the severe case of frost bite I am anticipating. And nooooooo we didn't sell anything, not one damn thing in the first fundraiser. Sorry. That just so happened to fall somewhere in the midst of boy scouts fundraiser of popcorn, those whatchmacallit coupons books that you never remember anyhow, the wrapping-paper-more-expensive-than-the-really-pretty-kind-at-the-container-store fundraiser and the 'why don't you just empty your wallet at the collection for a new church building this week during mass'fundraiser. And yeah, I suppose I could have 'called a grandmother or something' but honestly? If she needed some nuts, though she wouldn't necessarily say no, she also doesn't need them from 1200 miles away. I mean, in a real pickle she could always run down to the Randalls and grab a jar of Planters for her cocktail party.
Now, anyone wanna buy a box of girl scout cookies?

oh how i miss girl scout cookies! my mom would buy cases of them and freeze them. of course, now-a-days, you would go broke buying a few boxes, much less several cases. i'll stick to my new-found little debbie german chocolate cookies that taste just like the samoas. but,oooo what i wouldn't give for a thin mint substitute that is cheap! :)
I love girl scout cookies but it is cold!
Can I just pay for them but then you ship them to some needy skinny person whose ass needs the calories more than my own does? Not kidding, really can I do that??
You are one hell of a saleswoman.
I will take 6 boxes of your most delicious passive aggression please.
I'd sell my soul right now for a peanut butter patty. MMMMMMM
We are not doing the cookie sales this year. I'm the leader and asked for a volunteer. No one did. So f*^K it! I'll raise the troop dues next year.
Thin Mints are smaller this year! Damn GirlScouts!
Is it that time already?
Just what my butt needs....little girls selling chocolate. And, by little girls, I mean little girls' mommies!
YES!
I do. Send me the info and I will buy some. Um, I mean a lot. I kinda of like them.
Thin Mints are hubs favorite!!! Me, anything with peanut butter..... but they always arrive at lent and then I have to look at them for 6 weeks... if that's not purgatory, I don't know what is!!
Is it really that time of year already? Wow. i'll take two boxes of thin mints please.
I'm assuming you watched the game Monday? Of course our dumb asses left that day. When we got back to San Diego (Tuesday, I told my hubs that we could have stayed and he then told me "I told you I wanted to stay, go to a bar, blah, blah, blah" So we feel like we missed out on a really good time with all the other UT fans! (sorry, that wasn't really related to your post)
sign my up for 20. I don't eat sweet, cookies, candy - but you talked me into it.
that was damn funny!!!
If you acept Patpayl and whipp ship to Iowa then you got yourself a buyer!!!
REmind me not to sign my daughters up for girl scouts!
And how dare you try to push me off the diet wagon here. I was doing good...
We're in the same situation with high school band, but we get "you should plug in" and "your child is worth it," etc. Well, no kidding! That's why we're doing extra activities and not locking them in the closet. Sheez! Anyways, I'm with TheCynicalOptimist, if you PayPal and ship to NC I'm in. :o)
I wasn't a girl scout, I was not a sorority sister and will not be the mother to either God help me for these exact reasons.
I've already been hit up by the little girl at work...Swimming lessons start tomorrow again so I'll prob. have to get some there.
I don't really want them, but I feel bad. I suppose I'll ship them off to my brother and his roommate.
You can put me down for a box of whatever kind is your family's fav and let me know where to mail the money.
I can't stand that wrapping paper scam. I agree--just let me empty my wallet and keep that crap away from me.
Actually, I'd kill for a Mimosa. I mean, a Samoa.
I was a Girl Scout and it totally pissed me off that while we were knitting, the boys were making fires and learning practical survival skills. I never crossed the bridge and threw my hat so I could graduate to Junior whatever the heck it was.
This is my last year of being Cookie Mom for my DD troop...I had 1509 boxes of cookies in my house at one time...
Ugh and I'm still waiting for two parents to pick up...
Ugh...
grammy want a cookie...how could you deny me the "i will do anything and waste any amount of money" opportunity for my darlings...send info...grammy send check
You forgot to mention that they expect you to hound people to buy these calorie & fat ladden treats right after making their New Years resolutions to eat better & lose weight.
Love Ya!-Your fearless former co-leader-C
