Beating scalpers for my 4 year old.

This win is for the parents. I stopped by Target this morning. My 4 year old son is obsessed with HW. Recently, he’s become enamored with a cyber truck that belongs to a neighbor. He lights up with so much joy. I always look for HW to find cool additions for him to earn by being well behaved. This morning, I grabbed this. Only one. I was still in the aisle looking for a London bus to replace the one he lost at the playground. Then it happened. A troll (I really hope is reading this) notices my find, and has the audacity to ask “could I offer $10? My boy really wants it.” Be aware that I am about 40(m) and this guy is about 55+. I said I’m so sorry but mine has been asking for this also. I offered to help him find some pulls in the bin. He then says he promised his brother’s kid this for Xmas but never found one. So I said I thought you said it was your boy? His response? “Listen, it’s not even about kids. That’s a collectible. It’s not right to open it” then he goes off on a tangent about how he always gets there earlier and has been looking for weeks. So, hear this. My child is going to open this fucking box and play with it. Like it’s meant to be played with. Because his memories matter more than your collection.
