I've been put to shame by my preschooler

My three year old daughter is a relentless backseat driver.
 
As we approach any traffic light she shouts instructions to her unteachable father. "Red means stop and green means go."
 
One evening, immediately after receiving my toddler's tutelage, I determined to put Piper in her place.
 
"Piper," I asked, "what does the yellow light mean?"
 
Without a moment to think she shouted,
HURRY_HURRY

 My wife and I have no idea how she learned this untrue truth (I'm gonna go out an a limb and say it was my wife's driving!....um...uh...love you honey...yeah, Jennie reads this).
 
Today, let us use Piper's warped understanding of the caution light to serve as an important reminder:
 
HURRY
and get your packaging orders placed so that you're not blindsided by the 2015 holiday season! 
 
There are three reason to
HURRY!
 
First, you may need to
HURRY
because many small businesses rely upon branded packaging products which can only be produced off shore.  Orders placed right after July 4 could arrive as late as mid October.  
 
Second, you may need to
HURRY
because United States printers and manufacturers are bombarded with orders as businesses begin to prepare for the holiday season.  This influx of orders causes lead times to be longer (sometimes considerably longer) than during the first six months of the calendar year.
 
Lastly, it's a good idea to
HURRY
now so you don't have to
HURRY
later.
 
And if you don't believe me I'm sure Piper would be delighted to set you straight.
