Commercial Success

Petie has a saying – “commercials only work on kids and dumb people” and we have definitely seen that they work on kids lately.

A few weeks ago Joelle was watching American Idol and she came in and said “Dad, I heard that Zyrtec works better on allergies so maybe we should use that instead of Claritin”.

When we were getting toothpaste at the store Joelle said she wanted Crest because it was the best.  I asked why and she said “because the commercial said it gets your teeth whiter and cleaner than other toothpastes.”  She was so proud of her informed buying decision.

    hysterical! It is amazing how commercials are seen as facts by kids. I feel like I can no longer take Madeleine (almost 5) to the grocery store because she wants me to buy all the things that she has seen on the tv…
