Target by Michael Carico

            Once upon a time in a Target far down the highway, there was a young boy by the name of Michael.

 One day he and his mother were shopping, she told him she was going to go to the clothing section and that he could go to the toys area and pick something out, so he did. Michael found the most amazing toy gun he had ever seen, it had three barrels for darts to come  out of, it was battery power, which Michael had never seen before, and had its very own shoulders strap, Michael really liked that.

    So, Michael made his way to go show his mother, upon arrival, he is so amazed with the gun he doesn’t even look up before he starts yelling “Mom! Mom! Look at this!” and begins explaining to her what it is, “It’s got three barrels, comes with extra darts, and has a strap!” However, what Michael didn’t realize is that wasn’t his mom, when he looked up he was shocked. It wasn’t even close to his mom, what he saw before him was a twenty something year old black women, on the phone about to drop on the floor laughing. He was so embarrassed all he was able to mutter was “My bad, sorry” and walked away. As the women continues laughing he feels more and more embarrassed and no longer wishes to have his awesome toy gun, so he put it back and walks to his mom in the cloth department which smelt like old people, and went home.
