Aaric won't shut up about the totally awesome features of Blu-Ray, and feels that I should be out buying the necessary electronics and discs immediately. It's a matter that I'm apparently not nearly concerned enough about.
Last week, it was the Shark Cordless Steam Mop that we Had To Buy. Both kids insisted that this was an absolutely necessary purchase. And you know, it can be yours in just 4 easy installments of $19.99, and if you aren't fully satisfied, you can return it within 90 days, and keep the carpet deodorizer for free.
Before that, it was ShamWOW! cleaning towels. I couldn't seem to make them understand, that these incredible towels wouldn't just walk themselves out of the cabinet/drawer and into the bathroom and start scrubbing. They do require a human to actually get them out and use them. And I'm perfectly happy with my $1/pack rags, thanks.
Speaking of scrubbing, more than once, they've told me I need to buy some of the various scrubbing bubbles cleaners. They take those commercials way too literally.
Also, frighteningly, both big kids have been observed trying to figure out what my PIN is for my debit card. And they wonder why I don't let them have much internet time! They're suckers for advertisements, and are becoming increasingly aware of how these plastic cards work!

your kids watch too much TV!!
perhaps you should buy some of the cleaning things, and let them use them. or offer to let them use their allowance to buy them...
My Erich thinks I could use the "Buxton Organizer"
Oh, the Blu-Ray obsession isn't even from TV! It's from an insert in a DVD case (which, yeah, is for the TV, but he was reading!)
Sometimes I catch myself complaining, "I wish Zi would hurry up and get older so he would finish potty training". Then I am reminded that getting older just means there is something else for them to out grow. Before we know it there will be braces and acne, then cars, and dates, then college and careers. Thanks for reminding me to just be content right this minute.
P.S. Don't let them see your pin number! Your kids are WAY too smart!
