Dear Girl Scout

Dear Girl Scout,

I'm sorry.

When I pulled into 7-11 and saw you standing there surrounded by boxes of cookies, I quickly reverted back to a 7 year old girl and promptly squeal.

I know I probably startled you. I'm sure you found it rare for a 28 year old woman (still a girl at heart) with a baby strapped to her hip to act like such a nut over cookies.

I'm not sure who was more embarrassed at my antics, you or my husband.

I honestly could have cared less. I was already drooling over your peanut butter patties while questioning if I could get away with buying all of the boxes.

They are for a good cause, aren't they?

Sadly, I could only get away with five boxes, but I promise you, the next time I see you and my husband isn't shooting daggers my way, I'll buy more.

I promise.

Signed,
The crazy lady who ripped open the box before she left the parking lot.

Not to worry... I, too, am a 28 year old girl at heart that gets totally stoked when I see the Girl Scouts selling cookies!

Thin mints in the freezer!!

Mmmm. Yummy.

You know, it saddens me to say that I rarely ever see girl scouts selling cookies. I have to wait on my mom (a teacher) to be asked to buy some, and hope that she does and is willing to share!

So that was you! I knew that crazy lady looked familiar. I was really staring with Envy at the whole situation as my husband had me strapped in the car and all the doors locked. I really thought that you might hear me screaming for a box of Samoas....guess not since you were too busy ripping open your delicious cookies.
LOL
I love thin mints and Samoas and well...pretty much all of them.

HAHAH! Love it!

Tagalongs are my favorite!! I got pretty giddy about GS cookies myself. Haha, the husband was trying to be sweet and ordered me six boxes on top of the three I had already bought. It's a Girl Scout haven around these parts!

Wendy said...

Oh Thin Mints are my favorite! I buy so many boxes and I keep them in the freezer to keep from eating them all :)
