When you know you only need one small thing but decide to go all the way to Target anyway.

When you pretend for a second that you can use a basket and don't need a cart.
3.
When you notice the Dollar Spot right next to you, practically screaming your name.
4.
When you convince yourself to buy the sunglasses from the Dollar Spot even though you will definitely never wear them again.

Then when you find a wig in the dollar section and consider becoming a new person.

When you try out 557 different shades of lipstick with the lady in the cosmetics aisle.

When you find a piece of wall art that makes you feel understood.

When you've tried on 10 pairs of sunglasses and catch your reflection in the mirror and wonder WTF you are still doing here.
10.
When you take a second to read all the texts asking where you are since you said you'd only be gone "20 minutes."

And when someone tells you that you've been gone for two hours and you have to act surprised.

When you look at the time and realize another 45 minutes has passed.

When the person in front of you has 1,284 coupons to sort through.
