Too much TV?


The other night I asked Jake where he wanted to eat. Then wondering why I asked when I KNEW what he would say, and he did: "E-McDonald's." (He's called it this since he began talking - he mixed the restaurant up with Old MacDonald, the song. He used to say E-I-O Donald's.)

I told him no, that's like greasy fast food and we want to go to a restaurant.

He said, "Well, let's go to Wendy's. It's WAY better than fast food."

Oh my goodness, it's amazing how much advertising affects us! I didn't even know he had seen that one that much.

Also, for you moms who ever watch QUBO (channel 68.2 on our digital converter box - a big step up from the 5 channels we've gotten our whole married life ;)) it's a channel with only cartoons all day. I like some of the shows better than others. This is how we discovered 3-2-1 Penguins, a cute show made by Big Idea, the people who made VeggieTales. Jake loves it and so do I because it always has a biblically-based lesson in it. But Qubo also has shows like Miss BG, which I have banned because BG is a not very nice little girl. Anyway, all the commercials in between the cartoons are for random as-seen-on-TV products, like space bags, this under the bed shoe holder, the pancake puff maker, etc.

Today we were in the Walmart checkout line and on the shelf were Aqua Globes.


Jake was like, "Mom, we need these because they water your plants perfectly every time."

Oh my goodness...

So funny...I know Tyler is the same way. He asked me the other day..."Mom, don't you need to buy a Snuggie?" I said no I will just use a blanket Tyler but Thank you! Then he replied, "but your hands will get trapped inside!" Just like the infomercial. I hate he can remember those phrases but not memory verses! :-/
