Story Time with Big Kid

Big kid went around the neighborhood this afternoon selling Boy Scout popcorn. So he comes home and gives us this sales report:

"So I knock on this door and this sweaty man answers the door. I ask him if he wants to buy popcorn and he says to me, "Well, I just bought a shitload from the Girl Scouts, so I'll have to go dig in my car for some money. And sweaty dude actually digs out $10 worth of quarters from his car."

Big kid is pretty impressed by this (as am I) as well as pretty amused that a grown up would say "shitload" and "girl scouts" in the same sentence (as am I). But you know those girl scouts are ruthless. They're like a colony of killer ants on a water buffalo. Slim pickins in the neighborhood once they're done with it...

And for the record, I bought a "shitload" too many girl scout cookies myself. Feelin' sweaty dude's pain.
