I am pleased to announce that after two trips to Target, two to Kohl’s, and one to Sleepy’s where I learned alot of very disturbing factoids about how mattresses become toxic waste after you sleep on them and how they double in weight after a few years just from perspiration and skin sloughing, we now have a functional guestroom, and all of this was finalized within one hour of the arrival of the first guest, so that’s awesome and not cutting it way too close at all, right?
Also, while I was at Target again last night learning more about “bolsters” and “mattress toppers” and other heretofore unknown domestic concepts, I noticed this. It’s a piggy bank in the shape of a hamburger, people. I know, the photo is kind of blurry, because I was laughing too hard to hold the phone steady. This hamburger bank is much larger than it needs to be, much larger than it has to be, and much larger than anything shaped like a hamburger SHOULD be. I guess what I'm saying is, WHY is this hamburger bank a thing, WHO approved the size, and WHO would buy this and put it in their home? Is there some paralell life scenario where a buyer from Target is right about this, and everyone in America ignores the comical size of this hamburger and buys it for their home? Is this what domestically-inclined people do?
If this is what domestically-inclined people like and put in their homes, I can already tell you that I can study at the University of Kohl's and put together all the guestrooms I want, but I am never going to like this hamburger.
A hamburger bank. I can't stop thinking about it and laughing. I’m asking you—someone please tell me honestly—is there a context in which this wouldn’t be an eyesore? Also, if this is for a child, isn’t this encouraging the child to save their money for fatty foods, which is just a terrible idea all the way around? Also (that’s like, nine alsos), WHY IS HAMBURGER BANK SO BIG?
I couldn't find the NaBloPoMo writing prompt for today, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't about piggy banks in the shape of food products, so I am holding firm with my apparent fascination for writing blog posts that have absolutely nothing to do with the suggested prompt.
