The Return of Boy
If you've been reading my blog from its inception, perhaps you've wondered what became of Boy, our 10-year-old Clara Jane-admiring neighbor. Oh, he's still around, doing stuff and being 10 and all. I'm just better at avoiding him than I used to be.
Not the case today. He rang the doorbell this afternoon.
"Is B. here?"
"Nope," I said. "But he'll be here in about ten minutes."
He silently waved a booklet at me through the screen door, looking expectant. "Um, yeah. Ten minutes. You ... you got a book there, uh, do you?" He waved it again. "Oh. Cub Scouts fundraiser. Gotcha." I opened the screen and he handed me the booklet.
"You pick two circles, scratch them off, give me that amount of money and take the coupons," he explained. "My dog was humping your dog yesterday."
"I didn't think they taught you about that stuff until Webelos." I handed him $3, which I would have rather used to buy a box of Tagalongs instead of a coupon for a free 6" Blimpie sub. But a Girl Scout probably wouldn't have given me the dog nookie update, so I guess we're even.

Yikes. Can't wait to find out what sort of nookie updates he'll come up with when he's older.

I had managed to forget about the GS cookies I have hidden from myself until I read this post. I think I may need to hit the Thin Mints.
