Can you tell me about a 911 call that was so absurd you had a hard time retaining a professional demeanor?

Personal experience here. When I was a little girl, like 8 or 9. Whatever, I was a Brownie in Girl Scouts. I really wanted to experience summer camp. My mom saved enough money to send me to three of them the same summer.

First one, they had some Indian Princess ceremony. Everyone put one of their shoes in a pile and the three shoes they picked became the princesses. Then they dressed them in really fake regalia and had an introduction.

I remember being upset because their dresses seemed mocking. My dress was nothing like that. The ceremony showed that they had no idea who we were. It just felt like everyone was making fun of my entire family, culture, and way of life. Like we were some kind of joke or entertainment, not real.

Anyways, I called my mom. She picked me up. I never went back. I quit Girl Scouts. I still buy cookies though, because damn I can't resist.
