Advertising

My kids are suckers for advertising. They memorize all the ads and jingles from TV and the radio. Then they relate them to life in all kinds of ways. When M was small she was sitting in the car with Grandma, stuck in traffic. Grandma said, "It looks like we're gonna be awhile." M answered, "We should have a Snickers." At the time, that was the catch phrase for Snickers.

Today we went down to the Big City to do some shopping. Mr. C wanted to go to Dick's Sporting Goods. I asked him what he wanted to look at. He answered he didn't know. I told him we usually just go to stores with a purpose, in order to look at something specific. He replied, "It's like Ancestry.com. You don't have to know what you're looking for. You just have to look."
