| Nope, I'm not worried. I'm sure to be picked today. I can | | | | be in a hurry. She's wheeling this cart like she can't |
| just feel it. I hear there's a big sale going on so I know I | | | | wait to get us home. I wonder what the speed limit is |
| stand a good chance. Yep, here comes someone | | | | around here. Hey, lady, you just passed up the cutting |
| now. She's getting closer... closer....oh-h-h .. passed up | | | | counter. Where are you going? Oh, I get it now. It's off |
| again. (Sigh) Why won't anyone ever take a second | | | | to the (gulp) discount shelf. How humiliating! Yep, I'm |

| around, but I've got personality. Wait! Here she comes | | | | orange plaid here and a herd of pink flamingoes. |
| again! Pick me! Pick me! Gees, her hands are cold! But | | | | Someone get me some sunglasses! (Sigh) Who's |
| at least she's looking me over. It's touchy-feely | | | | going to want me now? |

| hate when they get that look. The nose crinkles. The | | | | of being neglected. No one's looked at me for weeks. |
| eyes grow cold. The lip curls. Uh, what's happening? | | | | What's this? Someone's browsing the discount fabrics. |
| What is she doing? Oh, no... I'm being shoved back into | | | | Let me straighten up here. If I could just stick myself |
| my slot. Just great! Now I'm wrinkled! How rude! You | | | | out a little, maybe she'll notice me. Pick me, take me |

| stuck his lollypop on me. My design is well...shall we | | | | I wonder what will become of me? Will I be a handbag, |
| say... unusual. It makes people cross their eyes kinda | | | | cuffs and collars, doll clothes, or maybe part of a quilt |
| funny. But that shouldn't stop 'em. Doesn't anybody use | | | | or a chic jacket? In the right hands I can do chic. Hey, |
| their imagination anymore? Did they pass a law that | | | | maybe kids clothes too! That'll mean more lollypops for |
