The Girl Scout cookies were just the distraction my friend and I needed today. Julie and I were just about at the top of the first of three hills we'd be walking up as we headed home from our Sunday afternoon walk down to the Del Ray section of Alexandria.
The young blonde girl was actually a Brownie. When asked, she proudly told us she was 5 and in kindergarten. She also told us all about her nice teacher, Ms. Palmer. Apparently, our new friend goes to a bilingual school, and that nice Ms. Palmer tells her students what words mean in English "even though the principal says she shouldn't."
Our little sales girl allowed her mom to handle the transaction, but I'd credit the sale to her adorable smile.
Thanks to her, the Girl Scouts of America sold another 3 boxes today.
Great slice! I think I would buy almost anything from a five year old,
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm impressed by that hilly walk of yours. Well done.
