I never thought about the safety issue. I don't suppose a work envornment is quite the same thing, but I guess you never know.

I think the idea of having your daughter come to say thank you is absolutely lovely. I would get a big kick out of that if it happened here. What a great solution.

They still taste pretty damn good.

Or even a thank you card with a picture.

My wife and I bought Xmas presents for a family of 16 underprivileged kids last year. We got a picture of all 16, with some of them holding sheets of paper with individual letters that spelled out "Thank You".

Now that was a kick. Made my day to see all of those smiling faces.

I never implied that bringing an order form to work makes one a "bad" parent.
Ijust feel that going door to door with your child would be a good way to
sell cookies while spending a little quality time with your kid.We had a young
child abducted here in NJ a few years ago not far from here. She was going door to door in her own neighborhood by herself.
