My niece and I have a tradition.

Every year, we wear the same uniform and sell cookies together.

Hers fits better.

Same neighbourhood. It’s a good crowd.

Some people buy a box in the afternoon while we knock on doors. Most wait.

After dark.

Whole cases are sold.

My niece always asks how I manage it.

I tell her it’s just persistence.

She wins the school cookie drive every year.
