I am in charge of selling the "left over" Girl Scout cookies. J. was very disappointed that we didn't just get to have them. Anyways, I thought it would be a good idea to take them to school. College kids are notorious for needing munchies after a hard day at the library. What would you have done for a sleeve of Thin Mints at midnight?
So I pack up my boxes. I only bring the good stuff, no silly Trefoils or sugar free Chocolate Chip (why bother). I made a fatal error in judgment. I hate coconut, therefore I thought everyone hated coconut. I did not bring the Samoas. I got a some Thin Mints, some Tagalongs (my personal favorite), the Do Si Do and the new Lemon Creme. I figure I'll sell out in minutes.
I was having a really difficult time this AM with my clothing. I was wearing shoes that Katie can wear, but I cannot. I stepped in a crack, my heel sunk, COOKIES WENT FLYING!!! I hadn't even made it to the car and I was having this much difficulty I was not going to be carrying two boxes of cookies the 150 miles it is from my car to the building. (I didn't have any quarters for the meter) So, I decided that if someone was really interested I would go out after class and get the boxes. If no one was interested I would just take them home.
After class I make the announcement: I HAVE GIRL SCOUT COOKIES! All of a sudden I have five kids waving dollar bills in my face asking for Samoas and Thin Mints and All Abouts. My head is spinning with anticipation. They'll have to come to car with me.
It was there, in that dark cold parking garage,surrounded by young kids, selling cookies out of the back of my car that I felt it. This must be what crack dealers feel like. THE POWER! THE MONEY! THE CRAVING IN THEIR EYES!!
Then the girl said it," What, no Samoas? Are you kidding me?
Me: No, man, just wait, wait I got other shit. I got Thin Mints, you know you like those, and here are the Tagalongs. They'll make you happy. Just like Reese's peanut butter cups ya know.
Girl: Oh, well, um, gimme two boxes of Thin Mints. Do you know if anyone else around here sells Samoas?
Then I got the girl with no change...I give her the cookies. She owes me now. Hopefully with those Do Si Dos, I got her. She'll be back. If she doesn't pay me, she better watch her back.
