Our block party was this past Saturday. I will comment more later upon that matter. In the meantime, I'd like to share a snippet of conversation I overheard involving a group of three girls, ages 6 through 8.
It was a steamy day, our block party saturday, so I offered to hook up my fabulous Pirates of the Caribbean sprinkler. Three small girls agreed this would be a good idea.
They were dazzled by my sprinkler, with its menacing, spinning skull, crossed swords and genuine fake doubloons. They asked where on earth I could've purchased such a treasure.
Target, I revealed, was the place where I had achieved such an item (for the low, low, not-to-be-missed price of $3.00).
Girl 1: I love target!
Kay: I love it, too.
Girl 2: I like the toy department at Target. They have the best toys there.
Kay: That's true. They do have great toys.
Girl 1: Why don't parents let kids have all the toys they want. They never give them everything they ask for.
Girl 2: I always want everything at Target, and my mom says, "No, no, no, you can't have that."
Kay: Well, your parents don't want to give you everything you want so you'll learn to appreciate the stuff you have.
Girl 1: Yes. People just always want everything. They can be so greedy.
Girl 3: Yes, that's true. Even I can, and I'm a princess!
And.... scene.
