Ha! Vindication!

Barry and Braden had scouts tonight and were selling candy bars to raise money for scout camp.  (Barry is the scoutmaster for those who don't know.)  I tried to get both of them to wear scout uniforms telling them they would sell more and they wouldn't do it saying they'd be too hot. (Rolling eyes here...)  They ended up coming back to the house to drop off Barry's car and one of the other boys had his scout shirt on so I made Braden put on his.  (Way to go Allen's!)

Barry and Braden came back a few minutes ago just laughing.  Braden and Peyton teamed up, with their scout shirts on, and the other two boys went together, with no scout shirts on.  Guess who sold more?  Yup, Braden and Peyton sold three times as many candy bars!  I couldn't resist and had to tell them I told you so as I was laughing.  Then they both caved and said I was right after all and they were glad Braden had worn his shirt.  Of course, the funniest part was the other dad that went bought $20 of candy bars from Braden not knowing there was a competition going on and his son was on the other team.  Apparently it was really funny when the other boy found out his own dad had "gone against him".  Haha.  Scouts are so fun!  Ahem, and yes, I feel vindicated now thank you very much.

Yes, we've done a few service projects and fundraisers in the last couple years, and it always feels a lot less awkward when the Scouts are wearing their uniforms.
