entertainment at target (qotd:120307)

I woke this morning thinking, “I need to buy deodorant.” Well, not so much thinking, as smelling. But either way I was all out. So I was on my way to the bright red circle in the sky. (Target for all you regular folks not living in my fantasy.)

On the way, I ran into some pretty lights that made me feel like I had driven into one of those Corona commercials. It’s beginning to look a lot like Feliz Navidad! love it! (I took these pictures on my mobile while driving. so give me a break on the quality alright.)






Anyway. I picked up my favorite flavor of deodorant and then wandered around the rest of the store awhile. I went to check out the electronics section. I always inexplicably end up there for some reason.

I resisted buying Invasion of the Body Snatchers (only $9.44!! I know! I should have gotten it.) and checked out Target’s price for Super Mario Galaxy for Wii (ouchy!).

As I was leaving the area to go check out, I crossed paths with two very young boys. Their conversation went something like this:

stripped shirt: Where’s your mom?
blondie: I don’t know. But if she’s not going to stay in one place, I’m not going to carry around this chick flick Hairspray” any more! (throws the dvd onto the nearest shelf)

And that’s very close to a word-for-word quote.
So much anger from a boy around seven years old! I wondered to myself where he learned to say “chick flick” with so much disdain at such a young age. I bet his dad is a wonderful, loving man. Either that or here’s a 7year old who is desperately trying to hide a secret.

okay?

So, so, so awesome. You made my night. That is great! =) Yeah love the pics. I can only imagine how great it is to be in such a warm setting and pretend like Christmas is the same without snow. I guess it's like that here, though, huh??!!! Anyway, thanks for being a life-saver and doing a Borders run. You're the best. =)
your fav. sis-in-law =)

Funny, funny, I need to write more often. I always wait and then write a novel.
