Today I performed a scientific experiment. I had to go to Target to return the apparently uncool i-Pad case I bought Jonathan for his birthday. I didn't "need" anything else from the store, so I decided to use my 30 minute lunch break to test the hypothesis that it is impossible to go to Target without purchasing something.
To test this theory, I decided to aimlessly circle the store. Somehow I made it through women’s clothing without needing anything.

Pajamas? Nada.
Electronics? Nope.
Books ( the real test)? I didn’t buy one though I admit I had to look away when passing the Philippa Gregory novels.
I had almost made it full circle through the beauty products when I discovered that in fact: it is impossible to go into Target and not purchase anything.
Hypothesis was proven when I walked out of there with a jumbo container of Cetaphil and a box of animal crackers. You just don’t know what you need until you see at Target. It’s a sickness.

Later that night, Jonathan and I made a return trip to Target for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows Part I, a bottle of red wine, and another box of animal crackers. We decided it would be fun to be a check out cashier at Target just to see the random things people buy.
For instance, the couple behind us was buying two tennis racquets, tennis balls, apples, and sponges. At 8 pm on a Friday night.
