Hi. My name is Bethany. I live in Boston and I am 11 years old. I'm writing this because Girl Scouts have to write a journal entry when they sell cookies if they want to win prizes. So far, I've won an inflatable pool toy thing, a glow in the dark key chain, and flip flops. I want to win a Wii and a $500 Target gift card. I have been going to a lot of different neighborhoods to sell more cookies. I've met a lot of really weird people…
One of the first people I met was an old guy. He smelled. I'm pretty sure he was drunk because he couldn't say a complete sentence. He had an accent, which is cool. I want an accent. I wonder if he'll teach me… Anyways, he told me to grab a five out of the wallet that he threw at me. I grabbed a 50. I really want that Wii and gift card. I told him his cookies would be sent in a few weeks and he fell over. I left.
When I walked by a van these two guys came out. I started yelling "stranger danger!" but they showed me their FBI badges. One of the guys was older, balding, and kind of chubby. The other was younger. His name was Sweden, like the country. They asked for three boxes of Samoas and tag-a-longs.
I walked a couple blocks away and earned over 100 dollars in cookies, which equaled about 5 points in prizes. I needed to step up my game, so I went into every single building on every single street- even grocery stores and workout places. Surprisingly, I sold a lot at Curves Fitness Center.
I know I probably shouldn't have, but I walked into a bar. The people were looking at me really strangely, but the waitress was nice. She had reddish hair like me, but hers was longer. She ordered thin mints and told me to go up the stairs for more customers.
When I knocked at the apartment door upstairs, a skinny blonde girl opened it a little and peeped out. She looked at me with narrow eyes. I asked her if she wanted to buy Girl Scout cookies and she smiled. She told me to wait and ran inside. I heard her screaming for a guy named Nate. Another guy came to the door and asked if I sold gummy frogs. I said no. A scary guy with long hair started yelling at him and calling him an idiot.
I heard footsteps; the blonde girl was leading two other people to the door. One was a man with messy hair and the other was a really pretty lady. They asked me how much each box was and ordered two of each. The girl (named Parker, she told me) frowned and told me that she would take everything I had. I told her I didn't have a limit and she jumped up and down. The guy who asked about gummy frogs (Hardison- weird name) asked Parker how she was going to pay for unlimited cookies. She seemed sad. He probably felt guilty, because the next thing he told me was that they were putting me on retainer (not the stupid things you have to wear at night if you have bad teeth) and that they would call whenever they needed cookies.
In conclusion, I made well over $1,000 so far. Parker calls me almost every week for more cookies. I won that Wii and Target gift card.
