I have a tendency, particularly when in the hardware store, to buy up things just in case I’ll need them. More times than not, I do not need them.
I’ve tried to stop this behavior since my basement is getting full and my pockets are getting empty, with no real win at the end.
It’s something my daughter said to me once in her nonchalant way that helps me to stop doing these “just in case” buys.
She said: “Might as well let the store store it for you,” and then she picked up a cane and started using it like a lightsaber.
Sage advice, my child. (Her Jedi training is nearly complete.)
Why stockpile when there are tons of stores all over the city willing to hold on to this incredible stuff for me, just in case I need it?
Besides, I have to leave room in my basement for karaoke parties.
