Commercials...

So just in case you don't think that commercials get through to your kids...

Just recently discovered that we had it, the boys like to watch a channel we have called Teletoon Retro - a station that has all the old school cartoons; Bugs Bunny & Tweety, Alvin & the Chipmunks, The Raccoons, Flintstones, Jetsons, Rocky & Bullwinkle, Super Friends, and more... Unlike the Treehouse channel that doesn't have commercials, Retro has lots of them. I don't necessarily care whether there are or not, but it's definitely had an effect.

We were at Canadian Tire yesterday, and were walking down an aisle with cloths (dish cloths, towels, etc). Out of nowhere Zack says to me, "Mommy, 'Sham-wow' is not available in stores!"

Today Nathan randomly sang, "Harvey's makes your hamburger... a beautiful thing!"

My mom and I were talking about it (as she heard Nathan sing this and was laughing!) and she was reminded of how Josh and I used to sing commercials for LifeSavers candy.

That's awesome!
Alarielle is ALWAYS telling me about the toys on TV! Like, did you know that there are two High School Musical 3 dolls? One sings in red microphone and the other in a blue!
