I was asked to come to a Girl Scout meeting so that the girls could help me with the Christmas stockings for our soldiers. I didn't know any of the girls and was thrilled that they wanted to participate in this effort.
They really seemed to enjoy it.
When their parents came to pick them up, the girls showed off their stockings and left. Just left. Nine girls, nine parents - empty room. The Girl Scout Leader thanked me said that she hoped that I would come back again and teach them something else next year. Not a chance.
