When I was a kid, two girls in my neighboorhood were kidnapped while selling fundraising tickets door to door. With all the recent abductions going on today, I don't know how these parents can let their kids go about by themselves.

I had to sell my boxes of Girl Scout Cookies back in the day--but my mom refused to let me solicit. Either she'd buy the boxes herself or she'd take em to the office and sell em there. Then there's the family--"Well I bought a chili ticket from you last year, so you need to buy at least two boxes from us." That's how it was done!
