Girl Scout values.

This morning I stopped into the faculty library to fill my coffee cup in the machine that brews one cup of coffee at a time. It was less than five minutes before my 11 o'clock class, so I was feeling a little hurried. But Nina, who also has an 11 o'clock class, was ahead of me with her blue and white striped coffee cup, so I had to go second, with my bright green cup. This gave me a chance to chat with Nina. I said I always have to get to class early because I always need to move the furniture back in place and erase the blackboard. Why don't people put their room in order before they leave? I always erase my own chalkings at the end of class. I'm such a Girl Scout! I believe in that ethic that you should leave the place in better condition than you found it. That's what they taught us about how to treat a campsite in Girl Scouts.

They didn't have Girl Scouts in Poland when you were growing up, did they?

Yes, but they called it Socialist Youth.
