I did it. I can't believe it. But I did. I survived Toys R Us on a Sunday in December. It was touch and go there for a bit, but I made it. I did have Emily as a wing man (wing woman?) but I am the one who steered the cart the majority of the time and that's where all the real danger lies. She was more of a navigator really. She's the Michael Collins to my Neil Armstrong. Who? Exactly.
TRU Check out dude: Do you have your Rewards Card with you?
Me: No, but I do have a Groupon.
TRU COD: Is there a phone number tied to it?
Me: My groupon? No, an email address? Wait. You mean the Rewards Card. No I don't have one at all.
Different TRU COD: Oh, so no rainbow in your wallet then.
Me: Um no. No rainbow. Two circles though. Master & Card.
Both TRU CODS: (blank stare)
Me: Nevermind.
TRU COD: You must have a Rewards Card. They only give Groupons to people who have a Rewards Card.
Me: Hmmm. Nope. Still no rainbow in there.
At this point I begin to feel the loss of not having a rainbow in my wallet. What kind of wonders would the rainbow bring? Aisles that magically cleared? The toy I want found marked down 85%? A check out line that opened just for me? Valet service? I must get that card! Take me to it Mikey!
