16. Dude. I have no idea. It was very upsetting.
If the little girl with the curly hair screamed 'PUT THE SNOW GLOBE DOWN' at her little brother once more? I was seriously going to kick her.

35. I thought every day
was National Let Your Child Run Amok in Dollar Tree Day. It's one of two experiences I have when I set foot in one, the other being a cash register employee who is on the phone with a friend or family member at the time.
