I took the girls to Target tonight. Our mission was to have the girls pick out presents for Grammie and Great Gramma Bea for their birthdays this coming Friday and Saturday. The girls were allowed to walk around the store instead of their usual strapped down into the cart experience. By the end of the night the following things were in our cart:
- A turquoise blue and a traditional brown Wilson football.
- A brightly colored flowered doormat
- Lipsmackers Dr. Pepper Lip Gloss
- Burt's Bees Lip Balm (Gramma Bea/Burt's BEE's ...get it?)
- A frying pan
- Dora The Explorer puffy stickers
- Post-it notes
- A green dish towel
- A blue necklace with sort of matching earrings
- A green and gold head band
- A evening black beaded bag
- A bikini
- A straw hat
- Little Einstens band aids
- Chocolate
- A coffee cup
- A fake silk flower plant
- A kermit the frog green purse
- Sunglasses
- A diet book
- A winnie the pooh bubble machine
- A hot pink fuzzy pillow
- Several birthday cards (I think there were like 8 of them)
- oh, and a lighted mirror
Needless to say, Grammie and Great Gramma Bea will NOT be receiving all of these lovely items. At the checkout stand, our WONDERFUL cashier Tamara allowed closed her line down and allowed us to go through each item and very slowly and SERIOUSLY pick our favorites. They had a JOB to do and they took it so seriously. They debated in each department about which items Grammie would love and picked out things specifically for Grammie and others for Gramma Bea. It was very exhausting for me but I don't think I've laughed that hard in a LONG time.
