Avon and Little Girls

"Mama, where is that Avon book you gave to that lady today?"

"Uh, I gave it to the lady."

"No, where is the one ... LIKE it!"

"Oh, it's on the countertop in that box."

[pitter patter of feet running to countertop]

[pitter patter of feet running back to my room]

"Is this it?"

[look at catalog]

"Yep"

"I want to order something."

"Honey, I don't want you to order anything from there."

"But I have my own money."

"That's fine but why don't you just save it?"

"Because I want to buy something."

[spot IKEA catalog]

"OH LOOK a book just like Avon but for FURNITURE!"

[Avon catalog crashes to floor]

"Can I order something from HERE?"


DEAR LORD IN HEAVEN ABOVE, DOES IT EVER END?
