When I finally convinced Big Brother Skunk to go selling popcorn again, our erstwhile competitors had left town. They apparently decided to sell inside the store or something. That is fine by me. I appreciate that they realized the effect their actions could have. That bolstered Timmy, so it ended up being a good afternoon. Now he is off to the Youth Center to have some fun with his friends........and try to sell them popcorn too!
Life is once again, awesome!
You're right, of course, Cub Scout parents should conduct themselves with the same values and standards that the Scouts have. Except we know they won't! One of the things learned here is why honesty and integrity are important in the grand scheme of things. Now Timmy knows how it feels to be on the receiving end, and I'll bet the lesson will stay with him. So in a very twisted way, maybe you should thank the parents!
