In a heartwarming display of community spirit, actress Emily Carson recently joined forces with her daughter to sell Girl Scout cookies outside a local grocery store. Much like other dedicated parents, Carson embraced the role of cookie vendor, showcasing her daughter’s efforts in a charming social media post. “Why yes, kind sir, we do have Thin Mints,” she captioned a photo of herself with a customer, who, while initially shopping for groceries, undoubtedly left with a box of Samoas.
A Proud Mother of Three
Carson is the proud mother of three children: Mia, age 12, Lucy, age nine, and Max, age five. While it remains unclear which daughter she was supporting in this endeavor, her enthusiasm was evident, complete with colorful signage promoting the cookie sales. In a previous interview on a popular daytime talk show, Carson revealed that she underwent “intense” training to become a troop leader, emphasizing that, at the end of the day, her celebrity status doesn’t matter to customers. “Nobody cares,” she remarked. “I’m just there with the troop.”
The Determination of Young Sellers
The determination of these young sellers is commendable. Recently, while doing some home maintenance, my partner returned with seven boxes of cookies, as if they had magically appeared. In reality, a fellow mom and her daughter braved the cold to ensure their cookies found loving homes. Personally, I was thrilled to see my partner come back with the sweet treats.
Broadening the Reach of Cookie Sales
In a bid to broaden the reach of her daughter’s sales, Carson took to Instagram to express her concern for those unable to access Girl Scout cookies. “Good afternoon, I’m distressed to find out that some people don’t have access to a Girl Scout or Girl Scout cookies,” she shared in an Instagram story. Carson further noted, “While my daughter and her friend need to sell their own cookies, I bought a limited number of boxes to share with you.” She encouraged her followers to send in their orders, highlighting the delicious options available, from Thin Mints and Samoas to gluten-free Savannah Smiles and the new Girl Scout S’mores. Unsurprisingly, her stock was quickly depleted.
A Badge of Recognition
This endeavor by Carson truly merits recognition, and one could argue she deserves a badge for her efforts. For further insights into parenting and community involvement, check out this informative post on our blog.
