A Slave to Marketing

You've met my daughter, right? She's 4 1/2. I've written about her before. The Monkey (the child never sits still). She was watching SpongeBob while I was working at 10pm (working on my "Mother of The Year" acceptance speech, of course). A commercial appeared before her about the wonders of Pantene Pro Vitamin shampoo and how it makes one's hair silky soft.

"Mama! You really need to get that Pro Vitamin shampoo! I really want you to have silky soft hair, Mama!"

"What are you talking about, baby? I already have soft hair!"

"No. No you DON'T! Not like that! And you also need a slider hamburger maker that that loud man with the beard yells about. You really need that, too. Get them both tomorrow."

Have I mentioned she successfully talked her grandparents into purchasing her a Snuggie?!?

  1. So funny!

    Sam loves to tell me all about the things we need. Right now, he is all about that "snuggy" thing. It's like a big blanket that you actually wear. (Kind of like a Monk.)
