Dear Target,

I am terribly sorry for the mess I made in your store. Before you get angry with me, please let me explain...

Mom said I could get new nail polish. It is the first time she let ME pick and I was so excited about the sparkly purple color I chose that I could not wait to paint my toes. (Purple is the only color I know and it is my favorite.) I've seen Mom paint my toes a million times and it doesn't look very tough. So, while she was taking her time shopping and ignoring me, I decided I might as well open the bottle and give it a try. To my surprise, it is a lot harder than it looks.

Please believe me when I say I did not mean to leave a big purple puddle in your store or a large purple spot in your cart. If it is any consolation, I also ruined the outfit I was wearing and was further tortured as my mom scrubbed the polish off of my legs, arms, and hands with remover when we got home.

I am truly sorry for the mess. Mom said it won't ever happen again.

Sincerely,

Lucy E
