Taking a Stand

I've decided.

When I work next I will ask where all the Hanukkah decorations are.

I mean sure I'm not Jewish but somebody has got to look out for them! Haven't they been persecuted enough? Now they have to go to the store and see Christmas decorations all over? I saw we slap a few Star of David's on up and a couple of Menorahs. Bring a little eight crazy nights into our Christian world!

I should say something. But then they'd ask if I were Jewish and that could be awkward. "Nooo, no I'm not but, uh, I don't mind the Jews." and then I'll turn it on them like this "...unlike here which appears to be very Anti-Semitic! Have you no shame?!"

Ok so that might be a little much.

But I might say something about the decorations. Why haven't I in the past? Well, I don't know. Probably because in the past they haven't decorated with stockings.

And here's another random thing...

I was at Target the other day and was in the baby toy aisle. I was playing with all the toys because why not and I got to thinking, why can't they make toys for people my age that are both fun and educational?

Sure we have the internet and our computers but that is so not the same as a blender that sings and teaches you shapes, fruits and colors. (Yeah, I bought that for my niece for Christmas...she's gotta learn how to make the margs sooner then later) Why can't they make some sweet toy that instead of teaching me what a square is, it could have taught me the elements of libel? Or under what situations can a public meeting go into closed session? That would have made learning that crap so much easier. Especially if it has some badass song that would get stuck in my head. As it is right now whenever little Miss Thang is up and playing with her toys I end up with the songs stuck in my head for a week. Imagin what that could have done to my GPA! I could graduated Summa Cum Laude instead of Cum Laude. (Which I'm still bitter about. I looking at you Kates. YOU should have rounded up my 89.6 to a 90 and I would have graduated Magna!) Anyway. I should find a way to harness the amazingness of baby toys into a more suitable, college aged toy. Instead of songs all to bingo or Old MacDonald, I could do contemporary songs! Though falling back on the goodies would probably make retention easier...

Oh the possibilites!
