O.M..G. Michelle Obama is Just Like Me!!!!

She shops at Target!!! I take back everything I have ever said because she shops at Target. How much more relatable an a First Lady be?!

Granted when I go to Target, I usually wear my sunglasses on my head. Then again, I don't have security with me, but that's okay. She's still shopping at Target! And she's just like me because she has a shopping buddy. Her buddy is technically a "shopping assistant"...oh wait. I don't have one of those either, but I do have a toddler that comes with me. I wonder if the shopping assistant throws temper tantrums too as they pass the toy aisle? Of course, if Michelle Obama has to pick up goldfish crackers that the assistant has launched from chubby fingers, then, well, we could be twins because she shops at Target.

Let's talk cameras because, whoa!, I have a camera at my disposal too when I shop at Target. Granted it's on my phone, and if I want a picture, I have to take it myself. Usually, I don't have people from the AP with a DSLR hanging around the cash registers either, but wait! It's still Target, and the First Lady is shopping there with her assistant...and security...so she's just. like. me. Right?

I mean, she did by dog food and dog treats, and I buy those too. Of course, if I have been stuck at home and had a chance at freedom, 30 minutes at Target wouldn't cut it. I'd leave with dog treats and dog food. And toothpaste, toilet paper, and laundry detergent. I wouldn't want to forget Kleenex, diapers, candy, and soap. That trip, alone, could easily take an hour. Wow, it must be nice to vacation lavishly in Spain or Martha's Vineyard, so that I don't have get my RnR at the local big-box store. You know, if I really think about it, maybe the First Lady isn't just like me.

Granted, she shopped at Target, but I'll drive myself home. I'll unpack my own bags. I'll take off my watch that sits a jewelry box devoid of a $40,000 diamond cuff. I'll put my shoes in a closet where the clothes are not designer. Yes, Mrs. Obama shopped at Target, but it was only for 30 minutes because, I think, she couldn't get out of there fast enough. She just hoped it was enough time to make regular, everyday folks think "O.M.G. Michelle Obama is just like me!"
