Girl Scout Cookie Rules


Girl Scout cookies have arrived!  One of my former students dropped off 5 boxes of cookies today!
Once Girl Scout cookies enter our home, Girl Scout cookie rules are in place.  This is a zero tolerance policy.

1.  Each person has his or her own box of cookies.
2.  You do not have to share.
3.  When they're gone, they're gone - no going into anyone else's box!
4. Trades are allowed only when agreed upon by all parties.

It might seem harsh, but it must be done to keep order.

I live with a husband and three boys and we don't need a reenactment of Lord of the Flies in my kitchen because somebody ate the last Thin Mint!

Now, I'm off to eat a Samoa:)

    I LOVE your GS cookie rules especially #3! It's only me, my husband and one son in our house but these rules would work here too (especially #3!)

      I hope it helps! My middle son actually hides his box because he's afraid someone (dad) will cave and not follow rule #3!

    This made me laugh . . . but I can totally see why you'd need the rules in place! :) Newest follower (found you through Fifth in the Middle's state link up). :)

    That is too funny! My husband loves the same kind I do (tagalongs), so we have to have our own box (although I shouldn't say that Walmart DOES have a generic version of that and thin mints!).

    Found your blog via Fifth in the Middle's state linkup. I'm in central VA teaching 2nd grade. Glad I found your blog!

    GS Cookie season already? Yum! I worked at a GS sleep away camp for a few summers in college. Ever wonder where all the unsold GS cookies end up? Yep, at GS summer camps! Mmmm, those were some fun and yummy summers, where I gained nothing short of 10 pounds each 9-week session!!! I've got slightly better self-control now. I think...

      Well, my family is doing its part to ensure very few boxes end up at summer camp:)

      You can have your samosas, but I'd fight for a thin mint!

    I love these rules! I have a hubby, 3 boys and 2 brand new twin girls. Next year, with 2 boys being 10 and 5, these rules will come in handy!

    Thanks for sharing!
