Dear Target,
Please stop foisting your 'Back To School' supplies at me each and every time I enter your store. It is not 'Back to School' time. 'Back to School' means fall. It means pumpkins, colorful leaves and cold. It does not mean sunshine, pool noodles and watermelon. I, frankly, am squarely in the center of the pool on my noodle enjoying my watermelon and I like it that way. I would like it to stay that way forever, but even if that can never be on this side of heaven, I would sweetly request that you at least let me enjoy the few months of the year I have instead of forcing me to think about the fall and thus, the impending winter. It's just not polite.
While I have you, might I also request that when I enter your stores slathered in sunscreen looking for a tall bottle of Dasani water, I prefer not to be assaulted by jack-o-lanterns, turkeys and Rudolph all on the same aisle.
It. Is. July. For. Pete's. Sake.
I thank you in advance for putting all that stuff back into storage where it belongs and bring right back out my plastic ice cubes shaped like lemons, the fancy beach towels with the dangly flip flops, and the picnic baskets. Where are the picnic baskets? We need picnics more than Frosty the Snowman wrapping paper!
I knew you would understand.
Thoughtfully,

This made me laugh. I was excited to see the school stuff because I really needed some stuff they only sale this time of year. Of course living in FL the summer does not appeal to me at all. :)
You are too funny!
Isn't it awful? Lots of stores are following suit, and sadly, if you don't jump on those school supplies now you'll be caught without them when school DOES come around.
I guess I'll have to choose a Halloween costume soon. Grr!
