I am of the opinion that these sweet little girls in the brown vests are up to no good. I know this because Pancake Gurl rocks the brown vest quite nicely.
I'm convinced that they have a secret ingredient to their cookies. They aren't that slick though, I'm totally onto them and I think I might even know what they're adding.
Have you ever met anyone that can eat one Girl Scout Cookie? I don't care what your preference is... I personally love a good frozen Thin Mint... Have you EVER been able to eat one cookie and walk away? I think not.
I swore I was not going to buy very many boxes of cookies this year (last year I bought over $100.00 of them- not because I wanted to, I was helping Pancake Gurl meet her personal goal- remember- I'm a giver- Pancake gurl makes these insane goals for herself. Last year it was 256 boxes. She made it (with a little help from moi) But this year her goal is 460 boxes.
460????
Where did she even GET that number?
What kind of mother tells their kid not to be sooooo ambitious? Who tells their kid that they are aiming too high?
Me.
She is bound and determined to prove me wrong. I'm gonna let her. But I'm not buying 50 million boxes of cookies.
And she can't make me.
I'm the mom.
Right?
She can't make me.... can she?
I must be strong.
Anyway... back to my theory.
STAY AWAY FROM GIRL SCOUT COOKIES
They're loaded with crack.
I swear. I have never been a great whistle blower, but I cannot allow these little "innocent" girls to dupe us any longer. They are out to get us. They fill them with chocolate or peanut butter flavored crack, now they have lemon flavors too. They get us hooked and then only sell them ONCE a year. COME ON.
They have no concern for our well being. If they're gonna get us addicted, the least they could do is make them available year round. Do you know what it's like in June for me when my supply has dwindled?
I shake uncontrollably.
I'm irritable.
I can't sleep.
My speech is slurred.
My heart races.
I have to resort to Keebler grasshoppers. It's just not the same.
Once, I drank a whole bottle of peppermint extract while eating a Hershey bar... I couldn't help it. I needed some chocolaty minty fresh goodness.
I need to smell a box of thin mints right now.
Please excuse me.

The sign by my front door says:
No Soliciting Unless You're Selling Girl Scout Cookies
And even though I've ordered about a dozen boxes from my friend, I still could not walk by the little boxes of cookies outside Walmart yesterday without buying some Thin Mints and promptly hiding them from my family. Then lying when Connor asked if the Girl Scout cookies had come yet. See what they make me do? Lying to my children.
Oh! My! Gosh! You're totally right! That explains why I like to ground my thin mints into powder and snort them. Right? It explains it, right?
Tomorrow, I am going to by the Thin Mint ice cream. Thanks for the PSA.
I really hate the fact that they cost two times as much as other cookies with less in the box! I don't really care if it is a fundraiser - I don't have a girl. I want more cookies!!
I LOVE the cookies. I don't care if they have crack or not. I'm buying lots and eating them like the fiend I am. Watch out world!
I am sucker for the Samoas... I think I eat several boxes myself...
Pathetic.
This year, with my sugar strike, I will be going cookieless... which I didn't realize until your post. Thanks alot.
I can dream though.
My parents would let me go door to door to sell the cookies. Nor would they sell them to friends. So i was always limited to one case of 12 boxes that my mother wuld buy.
They're totally addictive. *sigh* Sadly Girl Scouts International don't sell them. Do you have idea what one box of thin mints would go for on the open market in an expat community?! *eek*
I love the thin mints, too. and the peanut butter ones. And the samoas. Darn, I think I love them all. I have ordered me some and have thought about them every day since, just waiting for them to come. That was WEEKS ago! I want my cookies! I think they do put something in them to make us act all crazy.
I am all about the tagalongs. I could eat 10 boxes.
Right.now.
If you're really desperate for the Tagalongs, you can put peanut butter between two Ritz crackers and dip it in melted chocolate. Tastes just like 'em! I'm lazy and use the little premade Ritz sandwiches.
Now, if I could only figure out a way to make those Samoas.....
I was reading in Reader's Digest the other day and it said that cookies really are addicting! That's why we don't have any in our house. In fact, my poor kids don't even know that grandma sent gummy bears for Valentines day. They never made it out of mom and dad's room. :-/
LOL, I recently blogged about the "evil" girl scouts...even though both of my girls used to be girlscouts...
I do love those cookies though

Girl Scout cookies . . . they truly are evil. But I love every single one of them. Or I loved them. They are just a memory now. Bummer. Guess I'll have to hit a Walmart parking lot! See what I mean? EVIL!
I dream about Samoas.
I hide them in my nightstand and eat them in bed once Matt has fallen asleep. I'm so good I don't even leave crumbs for evidence.
