Dollar Tree = Awards for... Ummm... kids? Hope not
So I went to Dollar Tree with April a couple weeks back and just got around to posting this entry about it. When we were there, I saw a display of award ribbons. As I read through them though, I noticed that they seemed to be well... interesting. See if you can tell my thoughts ;)
Bed Time Champ
The first of the bunch. This one basically sets the whole mood. I imagine guys of the new millenium putting aside making notches on their belts or bedboards, and instead having a wall of these awards.
Special Helper
I don't know what special task was done, but all helpers deserve a little something in return. Be it a thank you, a candy bar, or an award. Course there are better things out there then a ribbon. Plaques :D
Great Performance
These should go hand in hand with the "Bedtime Champ" one. I mean, who wants to only have one thing hanging on their wall? Variety is the spice of life.
Great Effort Award
Ahhh. No one feels left out. Well except those who don't put their heart into it. But for those that do, but don't quite leave a lasting impression, here's something to hang on your refrigerator as you await the phone call that will never come. You had your chance. Let this be a reminder to you.
I'm a good listener
You may think this one has nothing to do with the above, but you'd be wrong. Listening is important. This might be the difference between you getting a "Great Effort" and a "Bedtime Champ" award.
I made it!
Ah yes. The ever important victory speech. But how many have said that before you? If you're on your way out, and the other person opens a box of these and just hands you the top one, it may not be that great of a victory after all.
World's Best Wife
Let's turn the tables shall we? Time to give the wives an award! Or wait... maybe that's not such a good idea. Here you've been receiving all these awards, but now you're just going to give her a "World's Best Wife?" Well who am I to stop you huh? Just give her the business card of the hotel you'll be staying at rather then the couch.
It's the Big One
You may think that I would have some nasty comment to go with this one, and you'd be right. But instead, let's tie this with the next one. Cause when you've earned the next one, you deserve 2!
Potty Training Award
Is it just me or does this kid look drugged up? Actually, the nose kind of makes him/her look like a chipmunk (like Alvin or Simon or Theodore). And don't even get me started on the fact that the TP is on the floor. Ewwwww.
Good Eater Award
You know, I really hadn't planned on saying anything bad about this, but I mean COME ON! Any animal they could have picked, and they had to use a monkey eating a banana?
I try my best
The fact that this is the one picture that is blurred is ironic. Its almost as if its describing me. ;)
