An open letter...


An open letter to the college girls at Target.
Dear College Girls,
First off wow, you get younger and younger every year. While I think it's great that a store has enough neat things that can appeal to me a 30 something, and you a young young young young 20, I must admit that I noticed a few new things while shopping with my daughter tonight.
First, please do not curse in front of my daughter. She does look up to you- she notices everything you do. Especially the pink bling. Keep it clean in public places, please.
Secondly, do not wear hoochie momma clothes in public. Whether my daughter is with me or not- No one wants to see it. PERIOD.
You may occasionally walk in the center of the aisle, everyone does. But keep in mind- OCCASIONALLY. Try not to roll your eyes at me when my shopping car full of two infants, a almost 3 year old and all my stuff is not able to get out of YOUR way.
Additionally, please understand when said shopping cart is full and a bit difficult to navigate out of your way.
Please refrain from pushing my daughter out of your way. She likes to walk beside me sometimes- it makes her feel big and important like you. I know we are all stars of our own reality show, but try not to be so engrossed in yourself that you become rude. It's just not nice.
I know I must look like a old fuddy duddy to you, but in my mind I still am a bit hip. So give me a little slack when I shop in the shoe section and actually might want the same shoes as you do.
Thank you college girls for living in the same town as me. I might not have a Target if not for you. Thanks for showing my fashions that I can decide never to wear without trying them on (tee-shirt aTm dresses). But thanks to you for those moments when you do take the time to smile at my kids, pause to open the door, or just try to be nice. Keep that stuff up and I'll try not to yell at you about texting while driving....today.

I know what you mean. I get stared at funny when Weston is crying and I just ignore him and continue to shop! (b/c I am buying him a certain toy). I found that Bryan Target is a lot less populated with college students and more families! :)

AMEN, sister!!!

Christine said...

So true!! I get so irritated when I go to Target b/c the girls dress so immodestly! They just have no clue how their actions affect others. Oh, and I think you are very hip as well!

I'll second it all, except the business about T-shirt dresess! I think those are pretty darn cute! :)
