We don't watch much regular T.V. that has commercials. Most of the channels the kids watch don't show them. But lately, Cameron has been wanting to watch a few shows on regular channels and it is amazing how fast he has caught on (Read: Become addicted) to them! It started one day when I was in the kitchen and he was watching T.V. and he screams "MOOOOOMMMMMMM, Come here, QUICK". I come running asking "what is it, is someone hurt?" He says "We need to call this number Now". Then I bought him some new shoes. I bought these.
I was worried, becuase I knew he really wanted these. But he wasn't upset. No! He said "Thanks Mom, I have always wanted Skechers!" Should I mention that he is Five and that I don't even have Skechers? Then there is the fact that he can't see his toys all over the floor, but he can pick out a McDonald's sign a mile away. Sigh. What's a parent to do?

Soon, he'll have you buying the "Singing the Greatest Hits" cds. :)
Just wait - Christmas is right around the corner. And soon TV will be rife with kid-targeted ads, designed to suck the cash right out of our wallets.

This really made me laugh! Who doesn't want a pair of Sketchers ;-).

You better put the parental controls on QVC and Home Shopping Network ;0)
