Cookie sheet
I find this season a burden. I don’t like being a salesperson and this is why I chose to be something else. A parent must accompany a girl scout because selling door to door is CRAZY right now when everyone orders on amazon and who knows who will open a door these days! But these are the plus sides so far of selling cookies:
- Time with my amazing daughter and watching her present herself to clients with her clipboard. It’s a glimpse of her power.
- Time with my neighbors. I never get casual time to just see who is behind blue house or green. We get a peek inside their mask-ed walls, incomplete puzzles on the table, nuzzles with cats, some chickens. Lots of smiles and goodwill and some great eclectic design.
- Time to walk. I forget how nice it is to take steps in the cool evening at a casual pace, up and down walkways.
- Girl scout cookies bring up lots of positive memories so time to watch others’ smile, especially young women. Their sighs of joy are so sweet.
- Knuckle power. Many of our neighbors do not have door bells so my daughter is getting her knuckles worked out and I think of this as good preparation should she need them in the future.
- Time to get over the fear factor. It was after dark when we walked yesterday. It was strange and weird. There are different people walking after dark at 7:30pm then the school children in the dark at 7:30am. So it’s time to see a different side of public life.
- Time to talk about what people need and want to know. We didn’t have change and then we did. Most boxes are $4 except for two that are $6. One is gluten free; one is vegan; none are sugar free or fat free; none of them are free. Yes we take checks, cash, donations. The Girl Scout troop number is 12051. We don’t know when we will be back to deliver them (shoot). We can leave them on your porch if you’re not home. Yes, there’s a new cookie, Lemon ups. Yes, the troops is saving for activities, eventually a hoped-for trip abroad. And yes, she can take care of your cats and dogs. It’s a lot of information and my daughter got fluent in all of it, had great answers, and it was nice to watch a ten year old coming into herself.

Other than that, I find girl scout cookie sales a time that I wish would pass more quickly but for now, day one, it was alright.
