The other day as the family and I were heading back from our shopping expedition in the Expedition over at Toys R Us off Pico and the Old Road we got to see perhaps one of the funniest things we have ever witnessed in the 12 years we have lived here.
Heading back to our side of the I-5 from Pico to Lyons we passed by that great gift to mankind, the 99 cent store. Now, we do not consider ourselves slaves to Hallmark Holidays, but we do recognize them and have a good time celebrating them for the benefit of our kids. They enjoy giving gifts, especially to their Mom and Dad.
Well for those of you who didn’t know this. The 99 cent Store is the official ” Mothers Day Headquarters” and they have a banner to prove it. I was not aware they had been approved as such by some special committee. Its been 24 hours since we saw this and I still cant stop laughing. You have Toys R Us, SteinMart and other great shops and we have the 99 cent store. But, are any of your stores the official Mothers Day Headquarters? I think not. We got you all there! We east siders totally rule you now!
Well, it looks like you will all be heading over to our side this week to get those Mothers Day gifts at the 99 cent Store. I’m not sure how busy they are going to be, but since they are the “official Headquarters” I can only assume they are going to be packed to the rafters.
For us however, we will be over at Steinmart and maybe Old Navy. Since you will all have to go to the 99 cent store I guess my favorite stores on your side should be totally empty. Please be sure to get an few extra rolls of paper towels for that special someone in your life!
