The daughter is starting her... take a deep breath... Cookie Campaign!!!
Let's twist our brains way back to 1988. I was a cute little Brownie Girl Scout. I had fun! Yes, I did! And there are some awesome things I remember doing. And one lady I didn't like who was rude to me. So I think I quit because of her. Anyway... Imaging a smaller version of me running round my parents' house. Well, scratch that... back in them days, it was a landline and that phone was, well...
One of these, but tan.
Anyway, imagine Young Lena on the phone, laying on her tummy on the olive green shag carpet of my parents' house trying ever so vigilantly to sell cookies to family members with one of those thick, glossy order forms in front of my face with a pen that wouldn't work on that glossy magazine page. Dag-nabbit!
I hated talking on the phone then. I hate talking on the phone now. I loathe making phone calls and I really dislike taking phone calls. And now the damned things are attached to our hips and can locate you. Tricksy little spies. Take a breath, conspiracy theorist.
Well, I've walked you back into the here-and-now.
At Bug's most recent Girl Scout meeting, us moms talked about cookie sales. We all got to sample the Thin Mint. Where the hell have those been all my life! Even Bug professed that she likes it! But she also professed that her favorite is the Trefoil.
If she's excited about selling cookies, then I don't know what I am because two days later, I printed out order forms and started asking coworkers for their orders. I am so ready for this!
