who woulda thunk...

i have been duped. shopping for boys has always been a breeze, more or less. this one doesn't like that fabric shorts, that one thinks this t shirt is dorky...but all in all, once you realize what they like it is smooth sailing. it is also helpful to get really nice hand-me downs from friends and neighbors(and you know who you are...). but today, all of my assumptions about how easy it is to shop for boys have come to a halting end....

my mission was to buy just a few more pairs of boxers shorts..that is all i needed. i went to super target in the bergen mall because i was both afraid and embarrassed that the folks at the hackensack target now know me by name....people have RAVED about the super target...so, i decided to give it a try. i parked by century 21 and walked through the store....did you know that half of the shoppers in century 21 speak yiddish? where or where did all of these jewish girls with poufy hair come from? anyway...made it through brooklyn and got to target.

no boxer shorts. the display case was there, but there were no boxer shorts left. i asked one of the unhelpful salespeople in the red shirts when they were getting more in..."sorry maam, not until next week." but the boys will be in camp next week and now, they will be in camp with no under wear....(they really do have boxers, these were extras that i needed, i was just trying to be funny.) it didn't help and they didn't think i was funny. i spoke with the supervisor who was very nice and also very unhelpful...i started the conversation by saying " i normally don't complain but....." i think he knew i was lying, those supervisors can spot the complainers a mile away....

so no boxers in target and only fancy, creepy boxers in century 21....not so easy shopping for boys today...but i did find a really nice calvin klein sweater for me...shouldn't be a total loss...

happy tuesday
