Target Search Party Brings Back Wrong Mom
Mystery woman “adjusting well” to new family, surroundings.
Family authorities today announced the end of a search and rescue operation aimed at locating Mom, who was last seen entering the other Target near the mall.
“We’re confident that Kathy will return,” says family spokesman Uncle Gregg, who further indicated that Mom losing track of time is “really not that surprising considering what happened last year at the Pottery Barn in the outlet mall.” Media reports from the period show a substantial search for Mom that ended with no less than two cousins crying in front of the big map at the entrance.
Dad, who sources allege stayed in the car throughout the entire three hour search and rescue operation (“he was just fiddling with the radio the whole time”) remains “hopeful” that Mom will be located soon. In the meantime, he says, the family will have to “make do” with whoever it is they found in Aisle Three.
“When my kid nephews came back with this lady, I figured we might as well take her home. She loves the house. Plus, she figured out the Wi-Fi all on her own, which Kathy could not do if her life depended on it.”
NOTE: The story is still developing. (Target closes at 11pm)
