Consumerism 101 (or how to know when your child has been watching too much TV)


"Daddy,"
Hudson quips this morning over breakfast while covered in a blanket because he was cold,
"the man on TV says that when you wear a blanket your arms are trapped. But if you buy a Snuggie you won't be."

He is four (FOUR!)
He is not allowed to watch anymore TV.

Wanna save money? Don't buy that Snuggie. Put a robe on backwards. Its the same thing.

My daughter is instantly sold on anything Billy Mays is advertising. She once sat through a commercial literally open-mouthed and turned and said, "MOMMY! You have to get some of that!"

We don't have TV at home; however, once a week is more than enough, at grandmas we have no control. I think the TV is on way too much. :( from Krystal Keyes
