It's so unfair to the kids. I think they should give the winning class a
prize instead of singling the kids out. When we used to live close enough in
where kids would go door-to-door, we just couldn't turn any of them down.
The little guys just always looked so hopeful when they'd ask you to buy
something. I could just see little first grader Jake in my mind and
couldn't help but give him an order.
