When Boredom Strikes.


“Tim?”

“Yes, brain?”

“Why are we at Target right now?”

“I dunno, cuz I’m bored. Why, is something wrong?”

“You know what’s wrong. We agreed never to go to Target when you get bored. Bad things happen!”

“But its so close to my house!”

“Tim….”

“and there’s always something to do here!”

“Tim….”

It my money were flies, this symbol would be the bugzapper.

It my money were flies, this symbol would be the bugzapper.

“and I always tend to run into someone I know here!”

“……TIM!”

“… sorry.”

“It’s okay. Now, why did we agree not to go here when you get bored?”

“… because when I’m bored I tend to buy stupid stuff I don’t need…. (grumble)”

“Exactly, so lets just walk out and go back home and get some rest for tomorrow”

“But its only 8 o clock! Can’t we just stay for 15 minutes? Kill some time? I promise promise PROMISE that I won’t buy something I don’t need. Seriously.”

“Ugh. Fine. Fifteen minutes. That’s it. I swear, you’re such a child sometimes.”

/walk around, run into the home improvement aisle

“Brain look! An ironing board! I need one of those!”

“No you don’t Tim”

“YES I DO!!! I have an iron in my room, and I can’t even use it because I don’t have an ironing board!”

“(sigh) Tim, when and where did you buy that iron?”

“Like, 4 months ago, at…… Target.”

“And why did you buy that iron?”

“…. because I was bored and I thought I needed it.”

“Moreso, you were dumb enough to buy an iron without a board to use it on. We’re done here, lets keep moving”

“Awww man”

/walk to food section

“BRAIN!!! LOOK!!! SNACK FOODS! I TOTALLY NEED THOSE!!! Those are totally useful! I always get hungry when I’m upstairs, and there’s never anything to eat downstairs! I need to buy some snacks!”

“Tim, do you remember the last time you bought snacks at Target”

“Uh, no”

“Yes you do. What were they?”

“(ponders) ooh, I know! Pretzels!”

“Yes, you’re right. But what flavor were they?”

“Hmmmm…. I don’t remember”

“Tim…”

“Ugh. Okay, they were “buffalo wild wing” flavor”

“And how many of those did you eat?”

“…. one half.”

“That’s right, not even one whole pretzel. Because they tasted like crap. And do you remember why you bought them?”

“Because we were at Target being bored.”

“I rest my case. We’re getting out of here. You’re too much to handle in here.”

“Dangit, I wish you weren’t my brain sometimes”

“If I weren’t, you’d be braindead”
