WTF?

As I entered a Target over the weekend I was assaulted with the above scene. I recognize that I no longer have to go “Back to School”, but kids in New England only ended their school year a few weeks ago thanks to a generous amount of “snow days” that had to be made up. I know I’ve said this in previous posts but it TOTALLY bums me out when I see “Back to School” displays in department stores. I didn’t particularly enjoy school and decades later I still get that sinking feeling whenever I see this kind of signage. When September rolls around, I want to put the barrel of a shotgun in my mouth. I feel sorry for kids, but more importantly I feel sorry for me. Believe it or not the Back to School display supplanted the summer display of lawn furniture and bug spray. Sigh. At least I’m comforted with the knowledge that this display will be taken down soon enough to make room for Halloween…
