Perception

Before one of my children went off to summer camp they asked for a wrist watch. So I took them to the store and they picked one out with a large face. After camp we went on a cruise, while walking away from the ship a passerby noticed the watch and asked what brand it was. My child answered, “Ah, Target” (Tar jay if you prefer). The stranger thought it was an expensive name brand watch, really, for a 16 year old. I only own a Timex, you know, it takes a licking and keeps on ticking! Someone once told me they had to take their Rolex in for a tune up and it cost them $1200! My last Timex got a tune up; I threw it away when it stopped working. If I’m going to pay that kind of money to maintain something, it’ll be my house, not a watch.
