Around here they set up in store entrances, and frankly I don't mind
that much. If they come door to door, I usually miss them. And in some
of these neighborhoods here, kids shouldn't be going door to door.

I bought two boxes this weekend. The girls handled everything. They
seemed nervous but did just fine. Mom was standing about 4 feet behind
them, observing.
