Holy Moly! Target at Target!

I went to Target today; what I did not know was that I was wearing a big fat "target" on my back. I was minding my OWN business looking on the formula isle (because I had forgotten to pack a bottle for Caroline and she was REMINDING me of that). Next thing I know, a lady who did not appear to have ulterior motives, asks me how old Caroline is. I am naturally friendly with strangers and so I answered her and asked how old her little girl was. Then she asked several more questions and gradually proceeded to get more inquisitive and personal with each question. Suddenly, my "pyramid scheme detector" went off. I knew I had heard this little deal before. The next question out of her mouth was "are you looking for something to do in your spare time?" (*OK my neurotic nervous problem has kicked in at this point! She has just put her little pyramid scheming self "out there" and I desperately did not want to reject and humiliate her, BUT I was furious. You see, this is the SEVENTH time in the last few years that I have been HIT UP by people like this. I am not kidding you, and this is the THIRD time I have encountered one of these people in this particular Target store.) I literally could not believe that this was happening again.... I was livid. Then out of nowhere, I get supernatural "courage", and instead of a wimpy answer like, "no, I don't have much spare time, but thanks it was so nice to meet you", I say "NO, I am not looking for anything, bye" and I walked off. VICTORY! SWEET VICTORY! She didn't even have time to give me her "business" card! I felt so proud! I will admit that the rest of the time I was in there I was pleading with God that I would not run into her again. AND He answered my plea! It was a victorious ending to a tragic and unfortunate meeting! Let me tell you that I plan to wear a "Just say no to Pyramid Schemes" t-shirt next time I go in there. I refuse to be a target at Target again.
