girl scout demographics, defined

Miss O joined The Brownies. For those of you who are unfamiliar with The Brownies, they are mini-Girl Scouts. I accompanied her, as I am wont to do, because I am That Sort Of Mama. You know, the kind who doesn't send her six year old daughter off to a brand new activity all by herself, but stays and makes a big freaking deal of it when her behavior goes all crazy.

Not that my daughter misbehaves. Ahem.

Wee Man is really struggling with this whole not-going-to-girl-scouts-thing, and Miss O and returned home just in time to hear this:

GIRL SCOUTS IS FOR GIRLS. YOU ARE A BOY. YOU CANNOT GO TO GIRL SCOUTS BECAUSE YOU DO NOT HAVE A VAGI.NA. WHEN YOU ARE OLDER YOU CAN GO TO BOYS WITH PEN.ISES SCOUTS. YOU MAY NOT GO TO GIRLS WITH VAG.INAS SCOUTS. DO YOU UNDERSTAND THIS BOY WITH A PEN.IS WHO CANNOT EVER GO TO VAGI.NA GIRL SCOUTS?????

We'd been gone for an hour and a half. That must have been one long conversation.

  1. Whew. I'm glad you finally cleared that up for me. I guess all that hysteria I went through was all for nought. I had bought the girl scout sash and everything, and they still wouldn't let me join...sigh..

  3. Congrats on entering Scouting! We just left Scouting! As a Brownie! But not until AFTER I had PAID MONEY to have all of her little patches sewed on her brand new little sash I had also PAID MONEY for. And our troop, by the way, had lots of penises running around being penises and that lessened the fun significantly of the scouting experience. Anyway - we have now started a "Tea Party" club with a Republican family so I am a bit nervous....but while the vaginas are having tea (can you say "vaginas" around Republicans?) the penises will be doing an Adventure Club which will mainly consist of spilling tea....

  4. LOL. I just found some of my Brownie badges. I was only a Brownie for one year and a Girl Scout never, but I have some fond memories of the experience.
