Damm Kids!!!!!

They see me coming from a mile away... EVERY TIME I step out of the store THERE THEY ARE. I have "sucker" written all over my forehead. I've spent $635 on Girl Scout cookies this year...

I'm with you Paul. Tagalongs are seriously akin to crack. And those damn kids are now charging $6 a box?! For 12 cookies?! But still we pay...

In the Army virtually every boss I had "strongly" encouraged us to buy their daughters' Girl Scout Cookies.

I walk up when I see them, give a 20 to the Moms sitting behind them, tell them it is a donation as I do not need the cookie temptation (cause I don’t) lol

In a food processor over a little ice cream is delightful as well.

I must admit I stash 2 boxes in the center console of my truck.

Oh man run the other way. Those girls can be so persuasive with their sweet voices, puppy dog eyes, and nice smile.

It’s worse when you have friends with girls in the Girl Scouts. Sad thing is we still have to meet up with one more friend to pick up more cookies from them since the wife can’t say not to friends.

My daughter sold Girl Scout cookies. I refused to let my wife bring her to my place of employment to sell them. Other employees did bring things into sell before. One of my managers always said “Don’t ask me to buy your kids stuff and I won’t ask you to buy my kids stuff”. I also am a sucker for thin mints in the freezer!

Frozen Thin Mints. I never understood why they didn't just sell them year round on a subscription basis.

I went to the farmers market this morning and these lovely young ladies attacked me. I went with my usual "sorry i don't have any cash on me". She quickly responded with "we have a card reader and my father will accept Bitcoin". I need to find better excuses!

$600 dollars worth? Holy crap! That is what? 150 boxes or more at $4 a box? What are you going to do with all those?
