I donated $20 to Operation Thin Mint today because I am a sucker for 7-year-olds who get distracted mid-salespitch.

"The cookies, kiddo," I said. "You're selling me cookies. Stay on task."

"Yeah!" she said. "The cookies!"

"So who do I make the check out to?"

"Cookies! Cookies! Cookies!"

Turns out—and hopefully this will save other people a lot of time—if you are purchasing from the Girl Scouts this year, checks can be made out to my sister.
