Will someone please tell me why girl scouts cookies are so addicting? It seems that you start off with one, just ONE! Next thing you know, you've polished off five boxes of the drug and you run to the local supermarket, going through withdrawal symptoms, find a troop that is still selling, and say, "hey man!!!!, You've got to fix me, man!!"
Usually the troop leader steps in at this point and says, "It sounds like you are hyped up on some thin mints, sir. Yes, we can help." How do they help? By showing you an assortment of lemon cookies, peanut butter cookies, s'mores, and last but not least, the hard stuff - apple cinnamon cookies. I mean, just put it in a hypodermic syringe in my arm, and shoot away!
It all starts when these little girls with their smiling faces, enter your work place or supermarket, or worse, show up at your own front door step. Don't trust them! You see, that's how they hook you. They smile at you with their cherub-like faces. You think, "How sweet, sure honey, I'll take a box." As you hand the money to her, you hear an impish laugh, then you realize with the first bite, you're hooked.
You start selling everything that you own to just get one more lemon cookie, the last crumb of a s'more, the last whiff of thin mints, before the season is all over and you are going through withdrawal symptoms that will make a junkie scared sober. You try searching in vain to find a troop that has at least one undelievered box, no such luck. You offer to pay the highest bid on e-bay for the recipes of these hellish delights, only to find out that it's easier and cheaper to get top secrets from the Pentagon, than it is to find out how to make these pastries from Hell.
Friends, next year at this time, let's form a support group, and call on one another to offer support when these impish cherub creatures darken our porch steps again. I know I'm not the only one who feels this way. The life we may save might be our own!
By the way, I wrote this article while I was eating a box of thin mints - SOMEBODY STOP ME!!!

As a former girl scout leader, great job! By the way, beware of those that stock pile cookies, so we have plenty left over after the season. You know like those 20 boxes sitting behind me!
