What did you want to be when you grew up? An astronaut? A dancer? Or something a little more mundane? True story: I wanted to be a garbage man (they hang onto the backs of moving trucks and throw trash into giant, crushing, metal jaws, I mean come on.)
Eight year old Brayden Lawrence apparently has her sites set firmly on “Target employee.”
Brayden is so obsessed with the retail chain that her family members worked with store managers and employees to create a full-on Target birthday experience.
We got all the kids uniforms & walkies and the manager made them name tags! They did a scavenger hunt where they had to find stuff throughout the store and then put it back afterwards since that’s what employees do 😂

The day came complete with target uniforms, nametags, and employee responsibilities.
We bought all the kids gift cards to spend on an item of their choice and my niece got to check them out! Thanks so much @Target Campcreek!!!! pic.twitter.com/dcfssKC5CS

You know how it goes. You head into Target for soap and you end up leaving with an entire child’s birthday party.

Target reserved a “dining” section, complete with lots of treats.

We can only wait and see if Brayden will still find the retail world glamorous in a decade or so.
