Each year my little girl scout comes close to being the top cookie seller in her troop but falls just short of the top prize. This mainly happens as the rich parents in the troop buy hundred boxes for themselves so their daughters have high sales. This is very unfair to my daughter as I'm not going to buy hundreds of boxes.
However, this year I pulled it off. I put in a fake order for over 1,500 boxes under the name of a neighbor that I knew would decease before the arrival of the cookies. So when the prizes where handed out all I had to say was my top buyer had deceased. Through a loophole in the girl scout cookie selling manual my daughter was declared top seller. I was so proud to see my daughter take that top prize.
My wife is very angry about this as she did not know what was going out till it was over. Demands our daughter returns the top prize. There is NO WAY I'm returning this prize after all that hard work. How can I tell my wife nicely to sit back and be quiet?

Your wife is right buddy. What you did is ethically wrong and possibly illegal (fraud). It also tells your daughter that material goods are far more important than her ethics or morals. Boo to you.

YOU are way out of line! You cheated and once a girl scout myself honesty is part of our motto. You cannot lie cheat or steal to win a contest. You are teaching your child a very bad thing. Shame on you for putting your child in this position. Why couldn't you have just taken her out after the contest to do something she really likes and told her she'll always be a winner in your eyes. Don't stoop to the other parents level to rig a cookie selling contest. I hope you can get your self respect back after pulling this deceitful act!

And when it gets found out you will be out the money for 1,500 boxes and your daughter will probably be dropped from Girls Scouts....So tell me...just WHAT have you taught your daughter other than dishonesty? I hope she learns her lesson well...

Unethical and underhand but good for you! You need to use this line on your wife
"But sweetheart, do you want to tell little (insert child naame here) that she's not good enough because we aren't rich enough to buy lots of cookies?'
The kid one, via a loophole, but she won!
it may be the making of her!
