Walkie Talkies

I love Target. I cannot go very often because it’s so tempting. Upon entering I always have to tell myself, ‘stick to your list. stick to your list.’ Sometimes I’m really good at it.. others, when I don't really have a list, not so much. One thing that always interests me at Target is their customer assistance. They have those walkie-talkies that are always BLARING that say, “Customer assistance needed in electronics. Who is responding?” I wish I had those walkie-talkies at home. For example, it would be so great to have one when I’m upstairs feeding Presley and I hear Piper and Brooks downstairs ripping each others eyeballs out. I could just get on my little walkie-talkie and announce (in that same tone you hear at Target), “Parental assistance needed in the living room. Who is responding?” Ok so Craig would never in a million years go for it. But it makes sense. Maybe Craig doesn't know that I'm upstairs feeding Presley. Maybe he's waiting for me to 'respond' and I'm thinking surely he knows I can't 'respond' because I'm feeding the baby. Then I wouldn't have to yell, "Craig, can you see what's going on in there?!" I can just calmly pick up my walkie talkie and address the situation. Hum, I think I'm on to something. I think I'll start making my next list for Target now.

I think you are on to something!

Love the phrase, "ripping each others eyeballs out!"
