Merry Monday

Valentine's weekend was a blast. Jenelle and I went shopping on both Saturday and Sunday. We went to the Olive Garden for dinner on Saturday night. Wow, what a crowd. All things considered, we didn't really have to wait that long. On Sunday evening, we had dinner with my parents at Cortese's, a quaint Italian restaurant in Kenosha. That was also fun.

A story from our shopping trip. Jenelle and I were at Target purchasing clothing to donate to local school children in need. We found a lot of great items on sale, and we both felt great buying a cart full of things not for us. On our way to the checkout, we saw a shirt in the girls department. It was pink with pictures of cute baby chickens on it. Written below the pictures was the following phrase, punctuated exactly as I have it shown here:

CHICK'S RULE!

This is quite irritating for both Jenelle and me, since we both endeavor to use proper punctuation, spelling, and grammar in everything we do. I'm certainly not perfect, but how can we expect our kids to do any better when absolutely awful punctuation mistakes are printed ON A SHIRT? Just because something is plural does not mean that it gets an apostrophe. Argh.

I'm not really that bitter about it -- but I hope you find this blog entry a bit more informative that my usual contributions.
