This evening I stopped by Hastings and just had to purchase a little stuffed “animal” toy that was neatly sitting on a shelf near the front of the store. It’s eyes sparkled behind tiny glasses and seemed to know exactly what I was thinking.
“Buy me,” it said.
I took it in my hand and sat him neatly down upon the checkout platform/desk thing. As he was scanned into the computer system, the associate remarked. “As a psychology major, I think this is pretty cool. Plus he’s half off.”
“Is he?” I asked. A million thoughts went through my head in a split second. “Or was he merely originally overpriced?” I asked?
Ok, perhaps it WAS a lame attempt to make a joke over the glass being half full, or a cigar just a cigar, but I thought it was funny. And, I can’t wait to see the reaction at work when Freud joins Timmy the ThinkGeek monkey on my desk.
That is a scary looking doll…
