this afternoon i went to target to pick up a few things and i realized that it's a whole different place than when i'm there at night and on weekends... i encountered a few different interesting things:
1. i saw a mom and her two kids... they were in the book aisle... the younger daughter looked about 2 or 3... she had her eye on a dora the explorer book, but then i heard the mom say, "hey... look at this book... it talks about going to the bathroom and then she pressed a button that made a flushing toilet sound... the little girl ignored her mother and the flushing toilet sound... and said... "mom... i want this book..." about the dora book... and her mother kept trying to get her hooked on the toilet book... i'm guessing she is trying to potty train the little girl... but it was so random... "look, honey, this book makes noises..."
2. i was back toward the toy section and i saw this family - parents with 2 or 3 kids... but there was this lady standing right behind them with a clipboard, paper and pen - and she was writing... not really looking up, just writing... of course, i'm really curious... so i get a little closer and really the only word i remember seeing was "dad," but it gave me the impression that she was writing down everything that the family was doing... a few minutes later, at the other end of the aisle, she was still right behind them, writing... it was weird... i'm not really sure what it was all about...
3. right down the aisle from the family/writing lady was another lady who had a basket, and her purse was in the front part... a big pink purse with a little chihuahua... just hanging out... i am just not around people who would actually do that... but there she was... with her little dog... it was just weird...
4. ok - this isn't necessarily a middle-of-the-day thing... but i was looking for creative things to buy - for something i won't name... and i ended up in the halloween section - and so i looked at the costumes... and i totally saw costumes for the dukes of hazzard... for only $35, your kids could dress like bo or luke duke... or even daisy duke... i think it's a little weird... there were other weird ones too, but daisy duke seemed the weirdest to me, especially because of the connotations behind her character...
it was just weird to be at target in the middle of the day - so quiet... which is why i heard/saw all the things i did... usually there are a ton of people... and there were so few that i noticed them...
i am sure there were other things, but that's all i remember for now...
