A continuation of "A Home Depot Story"

[NikkiLovesWDW!]

By strange coincidence, just minutes after getting my very first lime green mickey heads I read the thread "A Home Depot Story." So all day today at work, I thought I would go to my Home Depot and get a few more lime greens before the display changed. Well, I am a teacher and decided to take full advantage of the laminating machine before school lets out. So while I was cutting my mickey head, some students of mine were curious as to what I was going to be doing with them. I didn't have the heart to tell them I was bringing them home for myself but they figured they were for my class next year. That got me thinking. So I asked them, what could I use these for in the classroom? They gave me tons of ideas for mickey heads of all colors! Calendar numbers, nametags, the list goes on! It got me so excited that I ran right over to Home Depot. The whole way there I pictured exactly what was going to happen in my head. This is how I saw it...

I get there and just as I'm walking over to the display there was a man in that orange apron. I ask him about the diplay. He says, "Why yes! We're taking them all down right now. Do you want them all? YES! And I go home with hundreds of mickey heads.

This is how it really happened. I get there and no one is around. I walk around for 10 minutes and finally find someone who has no clue about the paint department. Finally he pages someone who was very unfriendly (and I'm in a disney mood, mind you) and I ask him about the display. He didn't hear anything about it coming down. I even offered to leave my number so they can call me before they throw them all away but he didn't want it. So I took six green ones and 40 yellows (I really want to make those calendar numbers!) and got the hell out of there. I plan on going back every couple of days to snag as many more as I can and hopefully find someone a little friendlier to ask about it coming down.
