Nic Narrates

And by Island of Misfit Toys I am, of course, talking about TJ Maxx. Last week, Graphic Designer Friend and I decided to kill an afternoon and found ourselves perusing its many baubles.

We looked at crummy cashmere sweaters strewn in a pile on the floor- blasphemy!- and bright green and hot pink luggage that was such an assault on the senses I could envision it audibly screaming “Here I am! Right here! LOOK!!!” at me in baggage claim. We even found our inner teenagers while hysterically trying on “church” hats with giant bows and roses stapled to them. And then, there was this in the bath and beauty aisle:

Now, one of my favorite things to do at the Maxx is puzzle out why a particular item has taken up residency on the Island. Is it an “off” color? Were the sleeves made 5 inches too long? Is there a hole in the bottom of the handbag? Is the candy from 2002? Does the packaging contain lead? Logical points of consideration, all.

As for the Pecksniffs, I’m having an inkling about why it ended up at the Maxx…
