My son is an “As Seen on TV” addict..

He knows the “ShamWow” commercial by heart ….”ShamWow holds 12 times its weight in liquid!”
“Mom, you could clean up a whole puddle of milk in one swoop.  Look! You just throw it in the laundry!”

We NEED The Perfect Brownie maker (the one that makes every piece its own ‘corner’). The commercial comes on….”Yum, 18 chocolatey brownies sliced all at once!” …and he stops mid Lego-building and stares like Carol Anne in Poltergeist..

But wait- there’s more…

If he had his way, the entire family would sit around watching infomercials, wearing Snuggies and polishing Buffalo Gold Piece coins.

An advertisement for KidzBop always gets a squeal.

TV: “Today’s Biggest Songs, Sung By Kids For Kids…So What! I’m still a Rock Star! La, La, LaLa, La..”

Me: “OMG…they’re on #17!! How could we possibly have missed out on numbers 3-16?”

TV: “Only $18.98, plus $6 shipping and handling.”

Me: “What? I thought they gave those things away in Kids Meals!”

Even his everyday conversation sounds like a pre-paid commercial.
“Hey mom, there are these cool things, Fun Sliders, I think….Like if it’s raining outside and you can’t do anything…”

Every now and then I hear him humming jingles, mumbling phrases from commercials..or asking questions like “Is Wendy’s really better than fast food?”

You too could get this kind of entertainment…for the low, low price of TOO MUCH TV.
