“Twenty-five dollars a box? That’s awfully expensive.”
“I know, Miz Rodgers, but it’s for an important cause, and we use only the most authentic ingredients.”
“Most authentic? You don’t mean...?”
“Oh, yes; our cookies are made with genuine Girl Scouts, right here in Sunnydale.”
“We’ll pass, thank you. Good day, Miss Madison.”
Amy was halfway down the block when the youngster caught up. “I’ll take a box.”
“Coconut, oatmeal raisin, or double Scout?”
“Double Scout, of course.” He produced money.
“Enjoy.”
“I’m sure I will.”
The toe Rick found in the first cookie made its way into his second novel.

Thanks for laugh. You've totally put me off my Thin Mints this morning. :D
