So my five year old is obsessed, and I mean obsessed, with infomercials. I thought it was weird that they played them during cartoons, but now I understand why. About six months ago, she came running into my room and said, "Mom, you HAVE to get the biggest little bag ever." I had no idea what she was talking about at the time. Since then, she'll come and tell me about some product I HAVE to buy.
When I was writing this blog, I looked up some of the products. When I pulled up the sites, the infomercial starts on the web site. She heard it and came running. She stood over my shoulder and wouldn't let me stop the sound. When the Mighty Mendit commercial came on, she screams, "Don't skip this. I love this part. Wait until the end. It's the best." Then she mouthed the words to the online commercial. Maybe my child watches too much t.v.
She told me about Green Bags and said "It goes for 9 days Mom!" And on and on with Aqua Globes, Mighty Putty and Big City Slider. The most recent is the Snuggie. She came in, told me about it and then walked away. Then she stuck her head around the corner and added, "Mom, if you could get me one too, that'll be great."
Sadly, we have yet to buy anything. But, Billy Mays, if you need a wee assistance, my very enthusiastic daughter is your girl.
