School just started and the kids are already selling junk. Yesterday, our doorbell was ringing off the hook. All the neighborhood kids came by to show their little booklets. I didn't buy anything because I'm tired of it. Actually, I stopped answering the door. I do not need another $20 candle or $15 box of candy or wrapping paper or random kitchen utensils. When will this mess stop? If our government would stop cutting education funding then the kids could focus on doing their homework in the evenings instead of their side jobs as door-to-door salespeople.
Last night, I left to go to the store. One of the kids who I ignored was pointing at me and telling his friend "I knew she was there." That made me laugh. These kids are gangsta! He looked like he was going to come and beat me up. Nah, baby, I ain't buying nothing. Well, I would buy something from our next door neighbor only. She's so sweet and cute and I couldn't resist her. But, she hasn't come yet.
When I was a little girl, we didn't have to sell things for school or maybe I just didn't participate. The only thing I ever sold was Girl Scout cookies and that took no effort on my part. In the months leading up to the sale, everyone would say don't forget my Thin Mints or Tagalongs or whatever they wanted. Most of my sales were made in the projects where my aunt lived. It was quick and painless.

Most of my neighbor's kids are not school age yet so I haven't been hit up. And, I work from home so no nagging co-workers. I don't remember selling things in school either, or if did my family and church bought everything. Same with my Girl Scout cookies. Easy sales. -- Tamoka
