This "stay at home" thing for the girls this summer has really been an education. They are memorizing, doing math, spelling all to the tune of commercials. Heck, Mary Margaret has even discovered a new Island, geography lessons, AND I'm not paying a tutor!!!!
What do I owe the thanks to?
TV commercials.
Tonight, while Mary Margaret sat on pins and needles waiting for CASEY SIMMONS to call, Taylor and I watched TV. MY favorite show was on, the Bachelorette. Commercial Time comes and Taylor starts reciting the lines to the Activia, Dell, Crest Whitening, and the Purex Sheets detergent. I am so proud.
Last night was the best night for commercials.
Have you seen the commercial for Viagra? You know the one, where the couple takes a cruise and they end up on a secluded Island alone?
MM is in Tim's chair, I'm in my chair and Taylor is in a different room.
On comes the commercial for Viagra.
I'm not paying attention, I'm trying to finish a book I'm reading.
MM: O, O, O, that's where I want to go, where is that?
ME: (Looking up at TV) Um, I'm not sure, I don't know where that commercial was made.
MM: Duh, I know the name of the Island
ME: Oh, really? (lol to myself, I bet she does)
MM: Viva Viagra. Now where is it?
ME: ????????????WHAT???????????
MM: The name of the island is VIVA VIAGRA...she says extremely dramatically slow.
ME: Um, thats not the name of the island that's the name of a medicine for men only.
MM: Oh, what is the medicine for?
MISTAKE ON HER PART cause you know I'm all about telling the truth.
I did tell her the truth.
Lets just say, her stomach was upset.
It was really upset even more when she found out it was for older men. Then she just about threw up when she figured out just who all fit in that category of older men.
She's recovered and sitting back in the living room with me.
All quiet.
Taylor is now in the room and she sees the commercial for Vagasil Smooth.
Taylor: Hey can we get some of that kind of lotion, it says its for women only and I'm one of those.
MM: I don't think its lotion. Kaye Kaye, what is that...oh never mind. I don't want to know. I've got to remember to stop asking you those questions.
Taylor: Hey, whats going on. Did I miss something
MM: You don't want to know
Taylor: Yes, tell me, Kaye why does she get to know everything. Dang.
You all want to be me. I just know it.
