Serious Business

Girl Scout Cookies

I said it. Now you want some.

You'll stop at nothing.

You're even considering getting off the couch...

 putting on boots and a coat...

driving to your nearest grocery store...

and spending $7.50 for two boxes of thin mints and trefoils...

Let me tell you right now... do it.

Do it and you will not regret it.

Haley, Emily and I were on a usual weekend venture.

This weekend it was two RedBox movies

(The Social Network and Vampires Suck, if you were curious)

So we headed to Broulim's...

where we saw them - the coveted Girl Scout Cookies.

Just a few hours earlier I had expressed to Haley my deep desire for thin mints.

This was a dream come true.

After realizing we only had ten dollars cash, we were limited to two boxes...

for the three of us...

As soon as we got home we grabbed plates and sat in a circle (triangle..?) on the floor.

This was serious business.

We would all get an even amount no matter what.

So we began to divide them up, one cookie at a time...

Ending up with four cookies left.

Two Thin Mints and two Trefoils..

Four cookies...

Three girls...

See the problem?

Emily's solution:

The first person to call someone and say "I love you" gets to grab a cookie

We all called someone; we all grabbed a cookie.

A further problem...

One cookie...

Three girls...

The only solution:

Cut it into thirds.

Moral of the story...

When it comes to girl scout cookies...

we mean business.

Don't mess.
