Destroyed childhood - 1/27/2013 10:47:21 AM

Status: offline 		I am not sure if I confused the child or just destroyed her innocents. I had a very nice sweet little girl scout and her mother come to my door. I was in my robe so I poked my head out of the door.
She gave me her little cookie speech which was very cute and wonderful. Trying to find a nice tactful way to say I wasn't interested, I told her.

"You are a very sweet girl scout but sweetie, I have a thing called Diabetes, I can't have cookies"

The mother immediately understood, and told her, say thank you.
But the poor girl scout had this pained look on her face like "You can't have cookies, why can't you have cookies??"

I felt so bad, I guess I just destroyed her innocents of the world.

I think you might have opened a door for a parent / child conversation.
Which isn't a bad thing.
But I don't think you took her innocent view.

Nothing wrong with learning the realities of life and the world at any age if taught in a thoughtful way a child can understand.

Status: offline 		It was fine. It will give mom and daughter a good conversation while they are walking around the neighborhood. It was actually better than just saying "no thanks". She knows now that you weren't just being cheap and not wanting to buy any or had anything to do with her or just being a mean neighbor.

I thought girl scouts were no longer allowed to go door to door? At least that's the way it is around PA and MD as far as I know from when my daughter was in the girl scouts about 10 years ago.

Status: offline 		I can't speak for the girl scouts since I have a son, but with the various fund raisers he had, it was stated that parents would need to accompany the children if they were selling.

Quite honestly, I find the new way of doing it, with the responsibility being all on the parents to sell at their workplace, church, etc. to be offensive and counterproductive.

I think the going door to door taught the children some valuable lessons in communication and sales. Granted, going door to door now is a seriously bad idea, but a parent taking the child around their own neighborhood to the homes of people they know is still a good idea and a good lesson for the kids.

Selling girl scout cookies is no longer a nice little fundraiser for the kids to earn money for a trip. It has become a serious marketing ploy for the organization.

As for what the OP said, I agree it should be a good opener for a conversation. The first being that diabetics don't have to live without eating sugar. That is the most outdated thing I have ever heard.

Status: offline 		Yeah, my daughter had to sell stuff for school and girl scouts and other stuff. They were never allowed to go door to door so I started taking the stuff to work with me. Unfortunately being my work was all women with young kids and many went to the same school and scouts as my daughter, it made it impossible to sell anything. It even got to the point that the boss complained about the selling.

So I just stopped and would buy enough for my daughter to at least get something out of it. And I would beg my family to buy stuff. I HATED when she had to sell stuff. UGH.

It depends on the age level of the girls. It may also depend on the council. Every area may have their own rules. Where I am, door-to-door is still allowed and encouraged. Parents have to either be present, or they need to go in groups..again, depending on the age.

Status: offline 		I have to admit I might have been over the top in my original post. However, it just seemed like the young lady had no idea of what I was talking about.

Wouldn't it be wonderful, to live in a world where, we could eat as we pleased. That the person behind the door was nice, friendly and caring. It is unfortunate that she came to learn that there is such a thing as this illness that I am saddled with.

Children should by their very existence as children have long summers filled with bike rides, birthday parties, fireflies and an endless stream of delights. We grow up, grow old and grow jaded.

Years ago, I went through the worst semester of my life at college, everything I touched turned to shit. I was feeling sorry for myself, I felt as if I didn't have a friend in the world. The dorm director had a wife and their child living with him. The child saw me alone, crying and he came running over to me and said ".....It will be all right your mommy will come and make it all better"

I gave him a great big hug and my day seemed much better. If only I could have that child's innocents and faith in the good and loving of this world.

I can't decide whether that's a good idea or too bad. I went door-to-door by myself when I was in girl scouts and never had any problems, but I lived in a fairly low-crime neighborhood. Some places that wouldn't be a good idea. (That was in the early 90s in MD.)

Status: offline 		I'm heartbroken. I no longer know a girl scout. The friend's granddaughter who we usually bought from has quit the scouts.
We were consistently her top purchaser. My daughter tended to grab her and write out the list.

Diet or not, a life without a Samoa is not worth living!
Doesn't help that we bought four boxes last year, I had three cookies and then discovered my son had eaten the rest. And he's skinny as a rail!
