My kids are crazy for all the infomercials! I’m telling you, they could sit and watch those all day. Who needs SpongeBob? We have INFOMERCIALS! They are constantly telling me I need to buy one of those thing-a-ma-jigs or these thing-a-ma-bobs. It always looks like a good idea, but I just can’t see paying three low payments of $19.99 for something on TV!
Last Friday I wake my “big kids” up to dress for school. The TV was on the Food Network. Abbey was mesmerized. I could not get her to get dressed. She just stared at the TV. Every time I’d tell her to get dressed she’d beg for a few more minutes. I let her watch a few more minutes. Then this is what I heard.
Abbey: “Mama, you neeeeed one of those.”
Me: “What do I neeeeed that for?”
Abbey: “It will lower your bill!”
Abbey: “AND… it can be moved anywhere in the house.”
Me: “Okaaay?”
Abbey: “AND…. it is safe to touch!”
Abbey: “AND…. it comes on with the touch of a button!!!”
Me: laughing hysterically “We do not neeeeed a heater made by the Amish.”
She never gets this excited about toy commercials. I wish I could get that much enthusiasm out of her when she cleans her room.

Oh boy, do I know what you’re talking about. It’s a good thing our kids aren’t in charge of the budget, we’d be bankrupt. The crap they’d buy . . .
That is hilarious! Big Mama would get a kick out of this too.
You’re kids are hilarious!!! They inherited some of the ‘Witt’ genes!
