Over the weekend, my beautiful Daisy turned into a Brownie.
It's this fancy girlscout thing where they 'bridge' up to the next level of scouts. Why on earth she became a girlscout brownie instead of a cookie is beyond me.
Either way- its a girlscout conspiracy to generate more revenue by making families buy multiple vests/sashes over the course of their lives. See- Daisys wear the blue one, the one which I have already painstakingly sewn on 247 individual patches. Brownies wear the brown one. But being a former girlscout myself, I am trickier than they are. Forgoing my original plan to just give her Allyson's brownie vest, I decided to go ahead and fork over the cold hard cash for the new vest and 23 patches that it required. But instead of hours with needle and thread? Hot Glue Gun. Worked beautifully.
And Emily didn't even know the difference.
