Okay, it's bad enough that everywhere I go, grocery stores are pimping Peeps,
cajoling with Cadbury Creme Eggs, and hawking hot cross buns and Hamantashen, but now hordes of little green and brown-vested harpies have descended upon store fronts, church narthexes, and mall entrances pushing their drugs. By "harpies" I mean Girl Scouts. And by "drugs" I mean Thin Mints.
If one more child demands to know whether I'd like to buy a box of Samoas, I'm going to run screaming into Amish country where there ain't a Girl Scout for 100 miles. No Girl Scouts-- just a bunch of Sarah Plain 'n Talls selling butter churns. And I'm not addicted to butter churns... yet.
Kisses,
L
