I bought a box of popcorn from the Boy Scout in front of Safeway, and I thought his dad was going to weep with joy. It was a $13 box of popcorn!! The Boy Scouts need to rethink this. Girl Scout cookies are so popular because they're only like, $3- $4 a box.
When I was a G.S., the other girl's parents would take their cookie order forms to work and sell all sorts of cookies that way. My father, however, never took the order sheet to work, because this was supposed to be teaching us about hard work and salesmanship.
At the time I hated it, but looking back - my mom and dad were pretty awesome.
