My Favorite Brownie

It seems my niece has entered the world of sales. She is a brownie and brownie's sell Girl Scout Cookies. So, from across the country she calls me and leaves a message asking me to buy cookies. She ends the message with "I love you Auntie M". How can an aunt, no matter how heartless, not buy cookies after that message. So, not only do I buy cookies, I buy cookies to donate to Marines in Iraq and then my own have to be shipped across the country. Whatever happened to that little girl scout knocking on my door, looking cute and a delivering thin mints to my door?
