Dollar Stores- Still a Kid, I Guess.

I often find myself going to Dollar Tree and other dollar stores.  There is nothing like wandering the isles on an evening after dinner.  Do I want a bag of Cracker Jack tonight?  I don't know. 
The love of dollar stores dates back to when I was four years old, and, on Thursday Nights, my dad would take my brother and myself to Long John Silvers for dinner and then give us each a dollar to take to TG&Y.  Being given a dollar to browse a larger than life store opened up wonder and imagination in my kid's mind.  Even if that wonder only spawned the purchase of a squirt gun.  Somehow, the thrill of the hunt is still alive in me at thirty-seven when I wander the isles.  Still a kid, I guess.
