The power of advertising!
Advertising is powerful – the symbols, the catchy tunes….I could sing “My bologna has a first name…” and I never even ATE bologna!
Well, in the past week, Patrick has internalized the marketing campaigns of two major companies!
We were listening to the radio and a commercial break came on. I usually change the channel, but for some reason I didn’t this time. Seconds after the MetroPCS man with the funky sounding voice says, “Hello…hello…hello…” my dear son repeats, “Heh-whoa..heh-whoa…heh-whoa….” And he’s been saying it ever since!
Also, we got some stuff from my mother-in-law last week, and some of it was packed into a box from Starbuck’s. Patrick pointed to the mermaid symbol on the box and said, “Mama, cottee!” Yes, the boy who has never set foot inside a fast food restaurant sure knows his coffee!
This just proves to me that, indeed there IS a reason we only let him watch commercial-free TV!
