My youngest son and I were in CVS the other day, picking up a prescription. As we waited for it to be finished, we wandered through the toy aisle.<\/p>\n
Most of the toys were pretty typical stuff, nothing that really grabbed his attention. He did stop, however, at a large red button. It had the words “PRESS ME” in bold white letters across its middle.<\/p>\n
“What’s this?” he asked me.<\/p>\n
I had no idea. “A button,” I said.<\/p>\n
He glanced around to make sure no one was watching, then shot his hand out to press it.<\/p>\n
DING, a\u00a0bell sounded over the intercom. “Customer assistance needed in the toy aisle,” DING, “Customer assistance in the toy aisle.”<\/p>\n
He and I looked at each other, then at the button. Right there, in little white letters beneath the PRESS ME, were the words “for assistance.”<\/p>\n
“Never mind,” I said loudly to the store. “No assistance needed.”<\/p>\n
“We’re all fine here,” he added. “Really. Situation normal.”<\/p>\n
…and we ran out of the aisle.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
If you’re gonna put a big PRESS ME button in the middle of your toy section, you should expect it to be pressed.
