What we have learned so far about selling Girl Scout cookies....
...People love them!...There will be tears shed when your girl scout realizes she can't eat her favorite cookies because you sold out of her first favorite cookie and also her second, third and fourth favorite cookies on the first day of sales.
...you will count and tally a lot of boxes and cases again and again and again.
...when your numbers are off by 2 boxes and you're wondering which child or adult may have consumed them and so you pay for those boxes while quietly studying the faces around you for the guilty looking one only to discover a little later that you actually added wrong.
...you are probably driving the cookie manager bonkers with your multiple requests to order more cases of cookies.
...you count cookies instead of sheep in your sleep.
...every day you fill the van with cases of cookies and when you return home you remove all the empty boxes.
...you're thankful your husband chose this week for vacation although he will most likely never choose vacation in February again...he has been the driving energy supporting that girl scout in her cookie fundraiser.
...you wake at 2am hungry for cookies, the box of s'mores cookies on the counter is calling your name and you try to adult and ignore it but after 30 minutes you realize it's impossible so there you stand at 2:30 in the morning eating a cookie and drinking milk and when you notice a small body stumbling your way you ask "did I wake you?" And he replies "No, the cookies did" so you hand him a cookie and together you enjoy a wee hours of the morning cookie break.
