Girl Scout Cookie Fiasco

It’s the annual Girl Scout cookie sale again!  Last year, the cookies were made by a different baker and the names of the cookies were different than the original names.   Since my daughter is a girl scout, I received an email from a friend who wanted to order some cookies.  She wrote  that she wanted one of each of the following cookies:   thin mints, peanut butter sandwich cookies, short breads,  Thanks-A-lot.  So I answered her email saying, “Laura, you are so welcome!  Thank you too!”  The cookies came in and it was time to deliver them to Laura.  When she received her 3 boxes, she  told me that she ordered 4 boxes, not 3.  I told her that I was almost positive that she only requested 3 boxes.  I checked the email. When I read it over, it dawned on me……how funny!  “Thanks-A-lot” was the name of one of the cookies.  I thought she was thanking me. I did think it was odd that she wrote “Thanks-A-lot” in that way.  I was cracking up!  She  received her “Thanks-A-lot” cookies.  Kind of a crazy name for a cookie….who would have thought??

   MMM…Girl Scout Cookies – I remember those – they were sooo yummy! and so many flavours to choose from!

   Up here in Canada, we have Girl Guide cookies…and they only have the 1 selection – 1 side of the tray is vanilla – and the other side is chocolate. At Christmas – you get the choice of…chocolate covered mint cookies things.

   Not the same…not the same… I miss the Girl Scout Cookies –
