She said she could teach 8 year olds to make change for multiples of 50¢, but not multiples of 45¢! Cookies are $3.25 this year. ;-D I bought some boxes (for youth group) at Safeway, from a family with a junior Scout and a Brownie.

I have about 16 kids in my church youth group. How many boxes should I get?" With barely a pause she answered, "At least three." Good job! And she's only 2nd grade! Now, if my kids like cookies with cranberries in them ...
