It's Still Summer

    Hey there Retail America-last time I checked the calendar, I noticed we are still in summer. S-U-M-M-E-R. You know summer, those three months the kids are off from school. Those lazy days of swimming, eating ice cream, staying up late, catching fireflies, etc, etc. So put away all the back-to-school items. I don't want to see them, much less buy them. The end of summer will be here soon enough, don't make me think about it now every time I walk into Target or go and get the mail or watch TV or listen to the radio. So just take all of those notebooks and backpacks and crayons and stick them back in the stock room. Keep out the water toys and sunscreen and hoses. Don't mail me any flyers about back-to-school fashions. The end of summer will be here too soon, let's not rush into anything. Let's get through July and then maybe we can start to think back-to-school, but for now, just let me enjoy summer.
