BECAUSE YOU GOTTA THINK BEYOND THE YELLOW PANTS...

I WAS TRYING MY BEST TO PREVENT THE IMMINENT MOMENT WHEN I HAD TO RETURN TO WORK BY WINDOW SHOPPING AT OFFICE DEPOT, WHEN I HAD A YELLOW MOMENT. I ENCOUNTERED A FAMILY DOING SOME 2 MONTHS EARLY BACK TO SCHOOL SHOPPING AS MOST DESPERATE -TO -GET -RID -OF -THEIR- KIDS -ASAP-PARENTS WOULD DO. THE FATHER TURNS TO HIS SON AND ASKS WHAT COLOR HE WANTS FOR HIS NOTEBOOK. AND WITH AS MUCH PASSION AS AN 8 YEAR OLD CAN MUSTER HE SCREAMED..."I WANT IT YELLOW". HE SAID IT WITH SO MUCH FEROCITY, HE MIGHT HAVE SCARED THE COLOR OFF THE COVER. I HAD TO ADMIT THAT IT DID SHOCK AND AMUSE ME. I WENT BACK TO WORK WITH A SMILE...UNTIL I SAT AT MY DESK AND CRIED INSIDE.
