Boy did we have fun today selling out cookies. The girls were just too cute. Interestingly, it was mostly men that purchased. 90% of our sales were to the men. They also universally fell for the line, "Buy some girl scout cookies, they're tasty and sweet". T came up with that one. Who could resist these cute tirls saying that?
The funniest who purchased were clearly three college guys from UM. They were festooned in green and orange, and each exited the publix with a 12 pack of beer. That's it.
We teased them that nothing goes better with beer than a girl scout cookie. They quickly hid the beer behind their backs claiming it was sparkling cider. Hmm, never heard of Corona sparkling cider. 
These boys didn't seem to need any hints when it came to girls, as they were all adorable, but when we mentioned that the easiest way to strike up a conversation with a cute girl is to offer her a girl scout cookie, their wallets were out.
Smart boys.
One of the moms had an old lemon drop cookie costume, that all the girls wore at one time or another during the day. T looked the funniest, as it was HUGE on her.
We did some brisk sales, and then returned home for hair cutting. Had to even up T's bangs, as you can see.

Glad you clarified. I thought it was SpongeBob.
I also thought it was SpongeBob. High marks to the UM boys for coming up with cider!
Please put us down for 4 boxes to be donated to the troops.
