Girl Scout Cookies Come Full Circle!

--by cabbage, posted Mar 20, 2008

Friday afternoon I was at the grocery store when I saw two young girls selling Girl Scout cookies. I smiled and thought of who I could "tag" with some cookies. Well, to my dismay, when I opened my wallet I realized that I had just $2.50. The cookies cost $3.50 (and of course they don't take credit cards!) so I pondered my dilemma for a moment or two.
Then I knew just what to do.... I went up to the girls' mother and said "I'd really like to buy a box of cookies, but I'm a dollar short....could you take this money and tell the next person who comes to buy from you that they only owe you a dollar? I was going to give the cookies away anyway!" The mom was really happy and surprised and got the idea right away and said sure, no problem.
I wandered off to do my shopping and thought no more about it.

Well, imagine my surprise when I came home the next day and found
a box of Girl Scout cookies "gifted" to my family from a neighbor!

Pretty cool, eh?! :-)
