Kris: “Today is the one hundredth anniversary of the Girl Scouts!”
Gene: “Neat.”
Kris: “So did you get me a cake?”
Gene: “I…DID get you a cake. And on an unrelated note, I need to go…get gas…for the car.”
He then went downstairs. Is it possible he’s really going to get me a cake? If so, I will eat that cake on behalf of all Scouts. No need to thank me.
We got badges for changing tires, learning about other cultures, backpacking, volunteering…but I am pretty sure that our troop never earned a single cooking or sewing badge. Good work, fearless leader. You deserve this cake most of all. But I am still going to eat it myself.
