What Shopping At Target Really Means

Your guest post today comes from a dear friend of mine that wishes to stay anonymous. Not only is she hilarious, I must say that there are few things better than sitting in her backyard on a warm summer night eating red velvet cake and sipping vodka tonics. Red velvet cake and vodka tonics don't go together? Hmm. We didn't notice. And  the cake was more of  a mauve than a red.

 

 

“You’ll never believe what happened to me this weekend!”

“What?

“A dog peed in my purse!”

“No way!  Which one?!”

“The Marc Jacobs one.”

“Get out!”

“Uh-huh.  I mean, there were other purses there, like Target ones, and it wouldn’t be such a big deal if he had gotten those, but he had to pick mine.”

. . .

As the owner of several purses, some of the Target variety, I’m not sure how I feel about this particular overheard.  Granted, a dog taking a leak on your spendy handbag is a major bummer, not to mention totally disgusting, but last I checked, urine of any variety flowing into the receptacle where I keep things like lipstick, extra floss, and tampons officially qualifies as “a big deal.”  But maybe urine is more offensive to people who buy Marc Jacobs than it is to us lowly Target shoppers.  I mean, I’m probably a statistical anomaly, I bet most people so pathetic that they buy purses at Target actually like having pee-sodden pocketbooks.

 

 

 

“I don’t know what you’re so upset about.  I like to give my purse a little sprinkle before I go out so I can find it in the coat room after brunch.”

This is hysterical. Almost as funny as this doggie in the sweater giddup. I've had something like this happened to me b/f. Unfortunately, I can't relate the humorous event b/c it was obviously so traumatic, I've blocked out the details.

We're totally Target people. I mean, not only do I not own a Marc Jacobs, I'm so fashion-illiterate, I'm not sure who he is. OR she...Marc is probably a she. Ha!
