Commercials

How can you tell if your child is watching too much TV? Well, I'll tell ya. If she starts making special requests for products like:

"Mommy is this BATH TISSUE Charmin Ultra Soft? Because that is my favorite BATH TISSUE".

Or if she makes over-stated claims about products that you have never heard of:
"Mommy! Mommy! You have to try Bare Minerals! It will change your life!"

Or if she starts sounding like an adult:
"Daddy did you know that there is a flat rate box?"

Oh yeah.

Dear Sprout,
While our daughter greatly enjoys your children's programs, she seems to be more intrigued by the commercials. I suppose that having our five-year-old join the consumer masses was inevitable. Sigh.
