When Greg and I were engaged, we went to Crate and Barrel to register for wedding gifts. Being the mature and obviously ready to get married individual that he was at the time, as I diligently walked around the store writing down the SKU numbers for the items I hoped to own someday, Greg made his way over to the kitchen timers and preceeded to do what any 13 year old (or 21 year old in Greg's case) would do. He set the all of the timers to go off at 5 minute intervals...and then left the store. This is a brilliant strategy for annoying the store clerks if you think about it. They hear one of the timers go off, walk over to the display and shut it, and go back to their business. But then, five minutes later it happens again, and again, and again.
Fast forward to today. 10 years later. With 3 kids in tow, we went to Target to pre-shop for Chanukah. I pushed Eden around in the cart and we came upon the Tickle Me Elmo display. She then preceeded to tickle each. one. of. them. but not the exact same time. She would wait until Elmo was around half way through his shpiel and then start on the next one. I had flashbacks to the Crate and Barrel experience and Eden laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed along with Elmo.
