BIZ MARKEE AND THE TARGET MOMENT


So the other day I was in Target picking up some big girl underpants for my genius potty training daughter when I hear this loud booming voice start singing, “Oh Baby, You. You got what I need…” (You know, the Biz Markee song- I don’t know if that is how you spell it) The voice was coming up on my right fast and my first thought was I kind of jumped cuz I was startled. And then I thought, “Why the hell is someone singing at me in Target.” But my next thought (and granted, all three of these thoughts happened in pretty rapid succession) was, “Hey, Todd must be here.” So I whipped my head around, fully expecting to see my really good friend Todd standing there singing at me and it turned out to be some guy singing to his baby.

Here’s the thing. I love it that I have a friend with whom I have such an absurd and wonderful relationship that when random strangers start singing loudly in a store, I almost instantly assume it is normal and get excited.

It is in these moments that we appreciate our friends and realize life is good.

It's kinda ironic that you refer to "absurd" relationships given the dynamics of my/your family, but "what the hell", you are blogging and I love it.
