random, and slightly offensive

So at our new apartment, my bedroom is on the second floor. On the nights that Fox (STILL!!) wakes up, and all the lights are out, and I sit, bobble-headed, nursing a chunky little boy, while trying to stay awake, one thing is very clear out my window. A giant sign for a hardware store, with bright white shining letters that spell MENARDS. Oooohhhh, you read it right. The store is called Menard's. Seriously!?! Who names their store this? Don't they know the kinds of remarks and jokes they will get from having this name (Tony is one of the worst at telling these jokes. He thinks its so funny)!?! It's probably the founders last name, but seriously, could he have named it after his first name instead? Couldn't it be like Joe's or Frank's or Jose's or something? But no. It' Menard's. And it will sadly be the punch line of many jokes told in my house (by Tony...with the kids not around...don't worry Ma :) ).
