Girlscouts?

I'm not really sure what girlscouts selling cookies is molding them to be in society or how to be in the future. The only thing I can think of is maybe its teaching them business skills at an early age or maybe how to be manipulative to get things sold. I'm not really sure. I really don't think it has that great of an impact on them anyway because I have a friend who was a girlscout when she was younger and she was so happy when it was over. Selling cookies didn't seem to really affect how she grew up or her place in society at all. But maybe shes just an odd case...idk.

Heinrich!

Yesterday I did my deconstruction assignment with my mom. We were talking about time and how the clocks are set forward an hour at midnight and I started by saying, What is time really? And then I went off randomly and tried to use some of the arguments Heinrich used in the book, except I changed them a little to fit into context. Like I said what if what one person thinks is time, another person completly disagrees. And why is time different for everyone around the world, why doesn't the moon determine our day and the sun determine the night. What if time isn't what we are experiencing at all and our senses are wrong and there really is no sun or moon. She was really confused and asked me why I was asking questions like this. She didn't really no how to respond, it was actually kind of funny. In the end I told her it was an english assignment and she was just like what the heck.
