I am going to write about Target. Yes, Target. See not very eloquent and chances of riveting are very low…I will be lucky if you come back to read anything else! But you see I love Target! I really do! Target has great clothes, great shoes, great comfy blankets, great snacks and drinks and well…. great everything! And I completely adore the dollar spot! LOVE IT!! The weird thing being as much as it thrills me to go, the mere mention of Target makes my hubby go into a huff and puff fit with a look of, ‘Please just hit me with a truck, it will be less painful!’ I couldn’t even write to you about Walmart and what he’d say, this is a family blog after all! Target is better in his book, but it does still make him cringe. And what he hates the most about Target is..... the dollar spot! I tell him how imperative it is and he scoffs! He then groans and complains that, the dollar spot just suckers you in to spend more money on “crap”! How can he say this of my beloved dollar spot? Because I’m not gonna lie, that dollar “crap” that they “suckered” me in to buy, well it makes my heart soar! More to the point as I mentioned it is imperative! Let’s see if you agree.
The dollar spot is vital to my children’s academics. There I said it! Now you would think with this magnitude of importance my hubby and the father of these children would be more understanding! You see I just bought the cutest bucket for a dollar…now just picture it with me. Close your eyes…oh wait…can't read that way...okay keep them open, but envision with me…. a cute bucket.... It will then have a cute pad of paper adorned with Halloween colors around the edges, a cute pen, possibly with black, orange or purple polka-dots, and little black and orange wrapped peanut butter kisses so classic and yummy!! Ribbons tied around the handles and maybe even the sweetest little ghost “lollipop” sticking out to seal the deal. I can just see my kids presenting this to their teacher. The teacher is especially surprised since middle school and high school teachers no longer get such kind goodies. They smile in delight with a hearty "Thank You! They think “Wow, what a great kid! So thoughtful! What great parents they must have.” They will this remember always. Like say when a situation comes up that involves my kid; a missing assignment perhaps, possibly another student tattling and using my kid as a scapegoat or who set the gym on fire…something of the like and they will pause and think, “Wait….NO.”As they picture that Halloween bucket of cuteness given by my darling child…they will say to them self, “It couldn’t be the Larvia kid. They are far too thoughtful and have amazing parents!” See people? See how this small bucket has changed our lives and the very lively hood of my children’s academic success! Eric doesn’t see that brilliance. And therefore does not appreciate what that little dollar bucket can do! He cannot see that it shouldn’t be called the dollar spot, but really the “priceless” spot! Clearly you are with me on this now, right? Okay good let’s go to Target!
Now how super cute is that. You are way too good at writing and crafting and everything else. Yes, I look forward to the next blog. :)
