An Iowa girl selling cookies to buy school clothes led to three
police calls in five days, reports said Friday.

Savannah Watters, 10, told Fox 17 Des Moines that her business
in Cedar Falls was going really well until her neighbors called
police.

"I wish that we could have known first, ‘cause we didn’t know
anything. And it’s just hard to believe that they didn't come
talk to my mom first,” the girl said.

was causing.

"Well we’ve had a little girl that’s been selling cookies and
water for four weeks and the traffic is getting to the point
that they’re using our driveway to turn around … which is fine …
but they almost hit my daughter. I mean it’s just getting … it’s
getting out of control,” a neighbor said in a police call,
according to the station.

Authorties told Savannah that she could continue selling cookies
as long as she moved into her driveway.

Savannah told Fox 17 that her dream is to one day open up her
own bakery.

“I enjoyed it a lot, so then I wanted to have a cookie shop with
my mom ’cause it’s always been my dream to do that,” Savannah
said, according to New York Post.

Savannah’s mother was a professional baker and helped her
daughter make the cookies, according to the Post.

“To be honest, if her mom wants to open a cookie shop, there are
other ways of doing it than making her 10-year-old daughter sit
on the corner for seven hours a day,” neighbor Melissa Winberg
reportedly said.

Cedar Falls is about a two-hour drive northwest of Des Moines.
