Wanna buy some Girl Guide Cookies?

While I was driving Josh to work yesterday morning, in the pouring rain, I thought to myself, "I have to sell Girl Guide Cookies in this?" There's nothing like a good rain storm to down your spirits about selling cookies. But, when I made it to our designated spot, the sun was out. It was a tad windy, but at least it wasn't raining.

There are some really cool people out there. Twice, we had people who gave us money for cookies, but didn't take them. The first guy said, "I'll buy a box, as long as you give it to the next person who walks by." The other guy just said keep the cookies. Yes, there are a lot of people who didn't want to buy a box of cookies. But it was interesting to see how many people turned down a FREE box.

But the highlight of the afternoon (or the lowlight, depending on how you look at it) was a woman who didn't want to buy a box of cookies because "they contained taxic chemicals." I had to really choke back a laugh when my Girl Guide said "You can check the ingredients on the box if you want." Priceless.

The good news is that we sold pretty much all our 25 cases of cookies in an hour and a half. And all I could keep thinking was, at least it wasn't raining.
