Today was the day. The dreaded meeting. It was going well, I was trailing along behind the group, keeping my mouth shut and my hands in my pockets. Then a funny thing happened. My co-leader, who had planned the entire meeting by herself, had the girls play "pass the orange" as a way to get them to bond as girl scout sisters. If you don't know what that is, here's a pic I found on the web to demonstrate:

To play this game you have to get really close, cheek to cheek and neck to neck. Addie told me later she loved Daisies except for "that weird game that was almost like making out"!!!!!!!! And there you have it my friends. Karma in all its glory. I videotaped the entire game, of course, and will be happy to pull it out and demonstrate how "offensive" having the girls touch each other in these ways was to me, as a parent. Not that it really was, of course, because I am not an uptight drama queen.
Go ahead Jen and Meg. Just say ONE word to me. I dare you.
That's great!!! xoxox A.D.D. Music Mamma
