behavior unbecoming of a girl scout

it's girl scout cookie season as everyone knows and these industrious girls are setting up shop in front of grocery stores, schools, parks and anywhere large groups of people congregate.

a local troupe had a table positioned near the front gate of mt twin's preschool. my son, who LOVES the ladies and cookies - a deadly combination, could barely contain his excitement over the potential girl and cookie action.

in trying to get the attention of the girl scouts, he unfortunately got the attention of one surly girl scout who is not upholding the code of the girl scouts. she turned on him and told him she'd poke his eyes out if he didn't leave her alone. he's 4. she's probably 8 or 9? has this girl no brothers or sisters? where is this girl's compassion? her understanding?

apparently she hasn't earned that badge yet.
