Lesson here is to ask for money upfront. Or at least a deposit.

We were not allowed to ask for money until we delivered the cookies.

Maybe a new style would suit you better?

When I was little my father took me to a park every Sunday to play and visit the zoo. There were Great Horned Owls there and I always wanted to bring one home. I thought it could live behind the toilet.
One Sunday one of the Owls was missing, I thought it had followed me home and it was in the bathroom. To this day I will not go in the bathroom without putting the light on! Sometimes Hubby will tease me and ask "how are the Owls doing".
There's no way I would have all those Owls in the bathroom!

After all the non / anti-smoking campaigns my children grew up with at school, the first thing the army did was teach any high school-recruited student was to smoke. My daughter was mortified.
