hoppy easter.
March 21, 2008Today at Target I saw a woman driving a minivan that had rabbit ears clamped onto the driver’s and passenger’s side windows, along with a pink nose and whiskers roped to the grill. I am sure that this woman turning her Windstar (Aerostar, whatever they’re calling it these days) into the Easter bunny was supposed to make me smile and think happy thoughts of colored eggs, jelly beans, and new dresses. Instead, I wanted to key her car.
And then I walked inside Target where many representations of their creepy disembodied chick head slash Easter logo hung from the ceiling. Let me tell you – it was the first time I did not linger in Target. I bought what I came for and practically ran out the automatic doors for fear that either a chicken head would fall from above or I would recognize the woman who drove the rabbit-van and be unable to control my violent rage.
Ryan would be happy if something always made me run through Target like a maniac instead of meandering through every possible aisle. I’m still holding out hope that I will never see anything like I did today again.
if it makes you feel better, this was my conversation with a girl at Salvatore’s last week (I was getting food for the boys): “may I have a slice of cheese pizza and a grilled cheese?” she says, “I’m sorry, we don’t have grilled cheese.” I said, “well, could you just put a couple slices of cheese on a roll and grill it?” she said, “yes, if that’s what you want.” …what’s worse, when she gave it to me, it wasn’t even grilled!!!!
i bet it was her mom’s minivan…
Whenever we’ve been in Target over the past couple weeks, Bryn has asked “But why are there chickens on the ceiling?”
I just sigh and say I don’t know.
