| Go away, Cindy. I don't want your delicious candy. |
There were several reasons for me NOT to buy candy from her. First of all, I'm on a diet. (They're these weird Swedish nutrition bars. They burn carbs. They just burn up all your carbs.) Second of all, I'm trying to save money.
So what did I do? Went and got a 5 spot out of my purse and brought it to the door. "Do you have change for a 5?" I asked. Of couuuurse she didn't. So instead of saying "you know, I'm all set, sweetie, thank you!" Which would have been absolutely acceptable, I said:
"Okay, I'll take 2 then. And you can just keep the change."
Sucker.
As I shut the door behind her, my eyes crazy with desire for the devil's chocolatey playthings in my warm little hands, I realized that I had forgotten to even ask what the donation was for.
Hopefully I didn't fund an underground cocaine ring for schoolchildren.
As long as she didn't look like she went to private school you should be alright aha... Maybe that's just Britain. As a culture we're far more suspicious of girls in short skirts offering "cookies" aha. Mean Girls reference was much appreciated x
ReplyDeleteHilariously- the captcha thing on me posting this comment is making my type 'hobnob'... How apt?!
Haha... I think it's probably pretty smart to avoid girls in short skirts bringing cookies around--I should take notes! Thanks for the comment, Clare!
ReplyDeleteThanks Gabs! I was a girl scout back in the day, though not NEARLY as persistent as this chick. She was born for sales. Thanks for following!
ReplyDeleteSucker!!!
ReplyDeleteI would have somehow tried to scam her into letting me have three for five dollars. Because I am a chocolate slut.... and if they were those Mean Girls' "weird Swedish nutrition bars," It would have merited me eating tons.
Good idea! I should have tried to scam her the second time around... but it would have resulted in me sitting on my living room floor, surrounded by candy wrappers after I ate all my feelings.
ReplyDeleteDamn those school girls, they always try and make people fat.
