Commercials

This is a conversation that took place at our house a few days ago.
Joey: "Mom, do you have oxi-clean?"
Me: "No we do not."
Joey: "You should get it mom. It will get out those really hard to get out stains."
Me: "Really?"
Joey: "Yes."
Jon: "It will also make your clothes brighter and whiter, too."
Me: "Well, I just might have to get me some of that." while laughing.
In Las Vegas, we did not have cable so my kids watched PBS with the occasional Saturday morning cartoons. We have cable here and it is amazing what your kids can learn from commercials. They have also suggested we invest in "Your Baby Can Read". According to Joey, we should hurry or we might miss the window of opportunity for Arabella, somhow I am not too worried about her reading right now.

That is so funny! My kids do the same thing with PillowPets. Henry said, "After just 1 hug your grandchild will love it!"

must be the age; every time that commercial comes on with the shaky weight and the well-buikt man, the kids tell me to hurry and get that for Dad because he NEEDS it. so many things that we 'need.' ben has even started writing dow nteh phone numbers and how much they cost so he and annie can save up for them. then we had a whole senario each time we went to the grovery store and didn't buy eric (air-wick) for annie because it makes our house smell so fresh and clean! the joy of ads...
