August

by sunnilicious


August was feeling sad in this new year. No real tragedies just some hiccups. The holidays are over, but spending money always seems to make her happy. What did August need new for herself and home?

August sat at the kitchen table thinking. She didn't really have to get anything... Just then, the mailman appears. He's shoving the latest sales circulars through the door.

She screams, "Thanks Jimmy!".

She rumbles through the papers as it dawns on her to stockpile toilet paper. August notes every store with a toilet paper sale. And she happily goes shopping.
