Laura it’s the same with anything the kids sell nowadays.  I worked inputting orders at a company from which kids sold things from catalogs and let me just say you could tell which parents took the forms to work – they had many and I mean many more orders than the kids who sold to just family members.  Personally I think the parents are indulging in a  game to see who can sell the most with no thought of what is really behind the reason for the sale.  

I was a Girl Scout and we sold cookies, but I took the form to family and let the neighbors know when it was Cookie Time, not my mom.

It is unfortunate that today’s society is intent on teaching kids they don’t have to work for anything.  They are taught they are owed everything and if you scream loud enough, you just might get it.  I would say those people will be working for my responsible child one day, but he’s smart enough to know you need to work for what you want and probably won’t give them the time of day. 

Memo to parents, you aren’ t doing your kid any favors by teaching him to be dependent on others for what they want.  There is no free ride and you need to work for what you want.

don’t worry about the CEOs kid, she will learn from the best on how to be a good cut throat business woman :b

You got that right.

Ok while I understand the whole learn business thing, my parents took sheets into work as well.  I went door to door and did my cookie booths like every other kid, but it helps to put them in parents’ work too.  Not everyone knows a Girl Scout, so the people would buy them from coworkers.  Oh yeah, I sold them at school too; to friends and teachers, I even put a sheet in the teacher lounge and that was in high school.  Gonna tell me I was cheating by doing that?

Would like to just say that the world is not a friendly one.  Going door to door is not a good way to sell anything these days.  It’s very scary.  In order to keep our children safe some of us parents would rather take the cookie sheet to work which I did.  I made my daughter type something up to get my co-workers to buy cookies. Not that they don’t sell themselves.  Also, we did a cookie booth and she was doing the yelling cuz not all parents do for their children.   My daughter did very well on her sheet we attached to the order sheet for my work and was very energetic at the cookie booth.
