They always get me, but only if the girls are doing the selling. The cookies themselves are a huge rip off and you can get a better deal in the store. You're supporting the girl(s) and them learning independence and skills they can use. They're also not out stealing or otherwise getting into petty crime like other young people. And it's a confidence boost when they make sales. That's the kind of thing I support. Not the parents doing all the work.
