If you give a mom a sales rack
If you send a mom of two to Target and she sees a sales rack, she just might take a look.
While taking a look she might think to herself, hmm this is a great purse, she'll start to day dream about carrying purses.
Her daydream will be interrupted by a little child "I haf to go potty! I haf to go potty!"
After that potty break she will think to herself, I have successfully potty trained two children, I deserve a purse!
She will buy that cute purse (the first in 5 years that didn't come with a changing pad!).
And if you give a mom a purse, she's going to want to go home and clean out her diaper bag.
While cleaning out her diaper bag she will start to cry and realize her babies are no longer babies anymore. She will need to find a tissue.
She will find the tissue in her new purse, which will make her smile and remind her she has successfully potty trained two children.
She will start to carry the purse everywhere and feel very grown-up and mature. She will think, I need a new pair of shoes to go with it.
If you give a a mom a new pair of shoes, she just might start to feel like a real woman again and want to get dressed up. She will call a sitter and make plans for a date.
When she's hugging her kids goodnight one of them will have an accident on her new shoes while the other looses his cookies in her new purse.
She will cancel her date and go to Target to get medicine for her child, and while she's there she just might stop to look at a clearance rack.
