I'm probably going to get in trouble for this one, given that it involves sweets, but

I finally broke down and bought one box of Girl Scout caramel deLite cookies. Although I managed to find the courage to keep them at bay for weeks (even when the little marketing geniuses put up a sign that said we needed to load up on cookies for the coming zombie apocalypse), I did finally succumb. But I was very pleased that the young lady who sold them to me not only knew that the ankh around my neck was an Egyptian symbol, she knew what it meant. Makes me feel good about our education system, just a bit. That sealed the deal.
