Have you tasted this year’s Thin Mints (girl scout cookies)?
poll:has this happened to you?? lols read to see what i mena its freaking crazy!!?
3000 dollars? Not that much. But yes it has happened to me.
Didnt have my phone for 3 months.
Anywayyss.
Im a Girlscout, so i can maybe put onmy little skirt, and go door to door for you?
I made sure my daughter got top prize in girl scouts cookie sales. My wife thinks it is horrible?
However, this year I pulled it off. I put in a fake order for over 1,500 boxes under the name of a neighbor that I knew would decease before the arrival of the cookies. So when the prizes where handed out all I had to say was my top buyer had deceased. Through a loophole in the girl scout cookie selling manual my daughter was declared top seller. I was so proud to see my daughter take that top prize.
My wife is very angry about this as she did not know what was going out till it was over. Demands our daughter returns the top prize. There is NO WAY I’m returning this prize after all that hard work. How can I tell my wife nicely to sit back and be quiet?
Of course, after reading your other questions, if seems pretty obvious that you are nothing more than a troll.
Apparently, you even murdered your neighbour!
You are a sad, sad and poor excuse for a Father – and a truly rotten Dad.
Unless, of course, you are making it up?

you cant, that was just wrong, im laughing about it, but it was just wrong
Did you return the cookies or did you pay for them to resell for your daughters sake….if you returned the cookies due to the ‘deceased’ neighbor..yes you should return the top prize…but if you resold the cookies or paid for them yourself then keep the prize, but what does this teach your child and what does that say about yourself
what a lovely imagination you have. tell us another story. please.
You cheated just like those other parents cheated.
Two wrongs don’t make a right.
I think you should be the one to return the prize and apologize to everyone and tell them what you did.
You are no better then those other parents.
I think the love you have for your daughter blinded you for a little . Life is not fair . You make the best of it .
Your a great dad
The troop is now responsible for selling those 1500 boxes of cookies. If you aren’t making this up I hope your wife makes you stand outside the grocer stores with all the little girls till every last box of cookies is accounted for. May it rain only on you.
Under normal circumstances I would say yes, you are horrible, haha. If it were a matter of a normal girl scout cookie sale however, the emphasis would be placed in how the girls are learning a variety of life skills as relevant to self provision that will only grow as they get older and your involvement would only disable that growth, but that is under normal circumstances. If your little girl has been making an honest attempt to do her best the right way and comes up just a little short of doing the best while the kids who do receive the reward primarily receive it because of their parent’s “involvement” as you explained, then I say rock on bro, you did the right thing.
Hi Rick Mar…SHAME SHAME SHAME on you! 1.) I hope your daughter has no knowledge of your dispicable act. 2.) Something worth winning by ways of disseption and dishonesty are just not good moral values. 3.) One of the greatest joys/thrills we have as parents is, seeing how proud and confidant our child gets when he/she achieves a goal through hard work. 4.) It’s not always about winning! Life isn’t fair sometimes, does that justify cheating? I believe you should teach/encourage your child to try many challenges, to pursue many things. 5.) Celebrate her “success” at home with family/friends. That “instills” just as much…if not more! 6.) I hope your wife sticks to her guns! XOXO Moonpie
I think it’s a matter of what you feel is right. You and your wife are both justified in your stances, you because the other girls have cheated in the past when your daughter has been diligent and been an honest Girl Scout and your wife because she may feel that dishonesty isn’t the way to win, even if other people are doing it.
I do not know very much about the Girl Scout organization because I never was one. Ironically, my mom wouldn’t let me join because of the cookie selling. I personally think making a fake order for someone who you “knew would decease before the arrival of the cookies” is ethically wrong. Then again, I’ve never seen your daughter’s face when she worked hard to try to become the best seller year after year and still not win the top prize.
When you say that you’re not returning the prize “after all that hard work”, do you mean your daughter’s hard work or your own? Is it possible that your daughter was content with the amount she had sold all by herself and was angrier about the other girls cheating by having their parents buy a lot of boxes? Have you considered how your daughter would feel if she knew that she had joined these other girls in being deceitful in order to win a prize? Or if she knew about this, what sort of model do you think you’re setting for her?
Personally, I would not do anything more about it if no one other than my family knew, but make sure I let my daughter know that this is a one time thing so that she could win the prize once for all of her hard work. I understand about not getting awards you definitely deserve, but I’ve also gotten prizes for things I didn’t deserve at all.
Best of luck on your decided course of action.
very underhand way of winning BUT its called using your initiative, well done, i wish id thought of that when i was a kid!!!
I hope she will change her mind. My daughter sold cookies for years(shes 18 now). There is a lot of hard work to it.
It’s not supposed to be about you and the other parents, it’s supposed to be about the girls learning about honest work. And frankly you’ve taught her exactly the opposite.
Your wife is completely right. She should take the prize back and tell the troop leader(s) so that the prize can go to an honest little girl.
You and the other parents really have some problems if you get so worked up about some friggin girl scout cookies. Why not grow up a little and focus on the important things, like spending quality time with your daughter and teaching her good values?
Tell your wife to stop acting like a Girl Scout.
well if u ask me, i think ur wife is right. wat u did was wrong. u cheated and yes, its not fair for the other parents to buy hundreds of boxes of cookies from their daughters just so they win. BUT DOES IT MAKE U ANY BETTER THEN THEM TO DO WHAT U DID???? i think ur wife is right, and there is no nice way of saying way u want to say. especialy when u did such a rotten thing.
Are ya teaching her politics or just wanna see her win at all cost wich ever its not teaching her morals and ain’t that what girl scouts are about/
Buy the 1,500 boxes of cookies or return the prize. Your daughter will learn that if your going to cheat, you end up paying the consequences.
It’s fraud.
No.
Instead you should praise your wife for her home sty and be thankful that you are married to such a fine woman. You are simply wrong and it is better that your daughter learn what is right and wrong by your admitting that you made a mistake. Your daughter will benefit more that way.
Even if the other parents cheat so that their daughter can get top prize, you daughter will gain more by learning what is right and what is wrong. The world does not need to have more dishonest people and people that think only of themselves. The world needs more people to be like your wife. I think you need to respect your wife’s wishes here and explain the truth to your daughter. You are just so wrong here. So wrong!
Faker. go peddle your story somewhere else.
Your wife is absolutely right. however, if you want your daughter to learn how to cheat and lie, take her out of the girl scouts right away because they will teach her other things that will foil your plans. Do not let her belong to any organization that goes against what you believe.
Girl Scout Promise:
On my honor, I will try:
To serve God and my country,
To help people at all times,
And to live by the Girl Scout Law
Girl Scout Law:
I will do my best to be: honest and fair, friendly and helpful, considerate and caring, courageous and strong, and responsible for what I say and do, And to respect myself and others, respect authority, use resources wisely, make the world a better place, and be a sister to every Girl Scout.
What you’ve done is kind of against the ideas of Girl Scouting. And by “kind of” I mean “completely.” If you are having such a problem with the parents of other members of the Girl Scout troop, you should just transfer her to another troop.
Let’s see here. Just which one of life’s lessons have you taught your daughter. Oh ya, cheating is OK unless you get caught. I guess the same could be said about driving while drunk, or murder, and anything else would be ok unless you got caught. Do as your wife says. Return the prize. Don’t be such a dufus.
You tried to do the right thing in the wrong way. Putting in a fake order is dishonest, and you know it. Your daughter won on a technicality instead of through hard work and honesty. You did no hard work yourself, actually, so I’m not sure why you think you did.
Your wife is justifiably angry. You’ve taught your daughter it’s OK to cheat and that the prize is the most important part of the process. The ends do not justify the means in this case. Instead of telling your wife “to sit back and be quiet,” you should pay attention to her and realize what you did was dishonest and wrong.
Whoever sells the most cookies is, at the end of the day, trivial. Start teaching your daughter worthwhile lessons. In the meantime, I hope she takes after her mother, not you.
That’s crafty. Haha. Not necessarily right or fair, but definitely clever.
How can you allow you daughter to take a prize she didn’t win??? You were proud to see her get a prize you cheated to get her???? What false pride!! I’m with you wife, teach your daughter the right way of doing things!!! That does not include cheating others that cheat!!! She should give the prize back!! She is supposed to be learning about honer in Girl Scouts, what you did for her is not honerable!! Sounds like YOU are the one that should sit back and BE QUIET!!
