Dear Crazy Lady at Target:

Dear Crazy Lady at Target,

Thank you so much for your kind advice. I realize that you find the need to help others with your wisdom on a daily basis and would like to suggest you write a book. I know when it's 45 degrees outside and raining that Clare will not melt. Thank you for mentioning this as I put a blanket over her head to load her out of the cart and into the car. It's also super helpful to point that out to a Mom who is navigating a parking lot with a cart packed to capacity with a huge storage tote, dog food and other big items.
Ummm, what is that? Those new car seats are too big? Oh, well thank you for your help. I wanted to find a booster seat and duct tape, but my local BRU didn't carry that model. I know we are all crazy in my generation. The things we do for our kids. Oh, the straps of the car seat will cause her to be delayed in walking because you niece, who is a teacher, told you that? Good to know. Can I give you my pediatricians number so you can inform her? She wasn't clear on this when she or the hospital required me to put her in a car seat (besides it being the law).
Am I one of "those" Mom's? Ummm, yes. I am. I'm sure shopping cart covers are a waste of money. Thank you again for all of your help while I load Clare into the car and unload the cart of merchandise into the back. I'm mostly grateful I had so much stuff, so that you could take your time, standing in 45 degree weather, getting wet to tell me all about how to raise her. Do you babysit? Maybe you could stop by once a week and instruct me on what I'm doing wrong.
Well, it's time for me to go, but I wanted to drop you a quick line and tell you again how much I appreciate all of your help and advice.

God Bless,
April

  1. I have just informed Heather that we have to stage a Target intervention for you in July. No Target shopping for you for 3 days. We will stay with you until you get over the shopping DT's. Or we can sic our muscle on the crazy lady. You're choice. Actually, I think it is Heather's choice.

  2. I vote we utilize Heather on the crazy lady. I know it's sick how often I shop there. Especially considering how much I hate Target.

  3. That is why we are staging the intervention. Clearly you know you have a problem, but you just can't stop yourself from going. I knew you'd pick the muscle.

  4. I think it would be great to print your post and hang it at the entrance!
