Spying On Suburbia: Economic Crisis NOT at Pottery Barn Kids

Elizabeth James

An Economic Crisis everywhere BUT Pottery Barn Kids?

How could there be one in this store?  It is too cute.  I am so torn.  I was in the mall.  Will suburbia just suck me into its Targets and Pottery Barns and Ann Taylors (well, Ann Taylor can never have me back after they were so rude to me two years ago and I bent up my card until it was hot and snapped it in half and threw it away right in the store with a f—- you….I never went back).  T doesn’t go there anymore either. 

Anyway, will I get sucked into Cheesecake Factory girl’s dinners and book clubs and Bunko? The truth is I already have in some cases, when time allows and so what, what else am I going to do from my cul-de-sac?  Smoke joints and drink keg beer and discuss how particles in the light cause the light?  I think that is what the woman behind me does…the one with the trailer thing in her yard that the association is currently banning or trying to ban. 

I am a parent.  I need to buy pumpkins and go to birthday parties and know my neighbors and make friends, more than three and buy things, right?  So, yeah, probably…I just can’t believe I have come to this.  I don’t know what “this” is and I am not saying it is a bad thing, so no one can be offended here.  But for me it’s the dented up mini van (my freedom ride/my paid for van) the hay and pumpkins that sit on my stoop.  The now red, fake, old- fashion phone on my thing that sits under my bigger screen TV…

Ok, so you know what, the fact that I can say all those things above and that they are possibilities and they are my only gripe is really pathetic.  So, I look at it differently now.  I mean I still struggle with suburbia life, I did run over part of my Lawn Goddess neighbors lawn and then over corrected and ran over our larapy (sp?) plants almost taking out the mailbox, but at least I have those super green plants to water and the water to water them with and the gas to run them over with…right?  My struggle is that?  People should want to beat me.  I should wake up everyday and sing over the rainbow.  I will. I will tomorrow, while naked in my outdoor shower…the pretend one that I am building.

So, I want to do my part to stimulate this economy, to bring myself a little more debt.  I bought a couch from this furniture store in the mall, yes, I too feel the economic crisis but I might as well spend whatever credit I have while I can ya know?  AND I am working on the employment issue; I offered the girl at the furniture place a job.
