girl scout cookies are a crock...

i've come to the conclusion that girl scout cookies are a dishonest sham...

why?  i know you wanna know why?

i'll tell you why....

it's because of those lying little happy faces all over the box.  

here's the proof.

1)  i got bummed out last nite paying bills.  so i had 8 thin mints because the smiles on the boxes indicated that the thin mints would make me feel better.  they didn't.  if anything they made me feel guilty.  i felt so betrayed....

2) trying to do all the cookie math for the past month or so, running 3 days in a row to pick up extra cookies, counting all of the money, bugging parents to turn in money, and figuring my cookie deposit until 11 o'clock at night trying to figure out why it keeps coming up $20 short only to have it come up $20 OVER when i take it to the bank - doesn't make me smile.  it makes display great amounts of hatred toward the cookies....

and 3)  all those happy girl scout faces are totally fake.  i know this because we can't get through ONE meeting without at least one of our brownies crying, one of our brownies getting mad because her "best friend" talked to/played with/looked at/sat next to someone else, or one of our brownies pouting because she doesn't like the snack/drink that the chosen other brownie brought that evening...

yup.  girl scout cookies are a total sham.  

or.  maybe it's just the box.  perhaps i should just get rid of the box.  the box contains all of the nutritional information anyway.  perhaps i would be happier without the boxes....
