Is the Taget lady right? Am I a nerd?

Funny thing happened to me on the aisle of Target. I was browsing, minding my own bid-naz and all, when a customer looked in my basket and the following brief conversation took place:

Stranger: “Now you’re someone who obviously has kids.”
Me: “Actually, I don’t have kids; I’m just a nerd.”
Stranger: “Wow! You are a nerd.”

What the?! Who is this woman, and where does she get off judging my book by my shopping basket cover?

Now I ask you, based on the items in my basket, am I in fact a nerd?

First, the toiletries. Sure, mouthwash and hair care items aren’t the most exciting things to buy, but they’re not exactly nerdy.

Next, the clothes. I can’t go to Target without perusing the sale racks. I bought a pink nightshirt, a pink cardigan and a gray button-up collar shirt. Is this the wardrobe of a nerd-o-rama?

On to the doggie delights. I can’t pass up buying the pups a few chew toys while in the Dollar Spot. What’s so nerdy about a girl loving her pups?

Okay, so maybe this next purchase was a bit on the nerd side, but an airplane trip was in my near future and I wanted some light reading material. So sue me.

There’s nothing nerdy about Prince, despite what Cory thinks. He’s just jealous of Prince’s style and mad skills. Aren’t ya, honey? (This is a great CD, BTW.)

Hippity hoppity, Easter’s on its way, which means Easter baskets are in order. Okay, so maybe I’m childless, but that doesn’t mean I can’t give baskets to my family members. And aren’t these baskets cute? Nothing about a felt chick basket says “nerd” to me.

What better thing to include in adult Easter baskets than movies? If I were a nerd, you’d likely find D&D characters and pocket protectors in my cart. Right? Right!

And those who think candy is nerdy aren’t human. Chocolate pigs and all. It’s that simple.

So, tell me, are these the makings of a nerd’s shopping basket? If so, then being a nerd is A-OK with me.

Cheers!

P.S. The Blog Barracuda post was my lame attempt at a blog April Fools Day joke. I was originally going to do a picture of a positive prego test, but I decided it would be in poor taste. This was my consolation prize. Rest assured that there is no such thing as a Blog Barracuda…yet. ;)
