There Are People Who Pay Attention To Those Drug Ads. The Wrong People.
We were perched on the couch watching Really Bad Reality TV aka That Show the Little Kid Should Have Won aka America's got Talent. Alexis was entirely too amused by the guy with the "wiggly eyebrows" and I was wondering how the heck this became my life. I don't do reality TV. I especially don't do reality TV involving wiggly eyebrows.
The show broke for commercials so Alexis flew off the couch and ran to her coloring books and crayons. She wanted to squeeze a few moments of artistic fun. I ran to the kitchen to make us some popcorn. The show had already resumed by the time I returned to my assigned couch cushion, so Alexis was there waiting for me.
As I started to sit down, Alexis said, "Momma."
"Yes," I replied.
"You should talk to your doctor about your electile dysfunction," she said.
I guess she's right. I always have trouble getting my electile to work right.

Ugh. I can't stand that ANY pharmaceuticals are advertised on TV, let alone those ones. Drives me crazy. *sigh*
But at least Alexis is concerned with your electile. Ha!
this is awesome. i love your kid!
Awesome! Fully adorable. Fully sassy.
(You know you're in trouble in about 9 years, right?)
Too funny! I am NOT looking forward to the day Nathan starts going on about those ads. LOL She has your smile for sure...thank GOD she doesn't have to grow up in Minot too!
:-)
(I'm glad that "Little Kid" didn't win that awful, super crappy reality show I just happened to be watching.)
So funny, yet so true! Cracks me up that she called it electile dysfunction. Doesnt that typically occur in November? ; )
It is especially nice that they show these commercials during football games. Don't they realize just how many kids watch football? And I've seen the ads numerous times during the day and my 9 year old daughter who just has to know EVERYTHING and asks questions constantly, said to me last week - "Mom, what on Earth are they talking about? What is that medicine for?" and the questions went on, and on, and on. . . I just pled the fifth.
Oh, I've had this happen to me also. Another good one is the female odor commercials. My son thinks it is about armpit odor - and my daughter doesn't understand why you wouldn't just bathe everyday - LOL.
Love it! Jim is convinced he has every ailment in those commercials (except maybe electile dysfunction).
I got nothing witty to say to that. Just hahahahahaha! That cracked me up!
I'm dying! Hannah one day in a very crowded public place...HER SCHOOL at open house asked her daddy if he took his viagra today...and all the heads kind of spun around...and he said 'Honey daddy doesn't need viagra" and she said 'Well you take the little blue pills and those are viagras" My husband was like...'it's NOT viagra it's really not...it's for allergies!" But she has seen the commericals for 'the little blue pill" and thought thats what daddy was taking...funny in a 1st grade open house...my husband was SO embarrassed!
Bwahahaha! Just wait until she asks what you're getting checked out. Or what the commercial is advertising for.
Don't we all?
*snicker* I remember doing something similar to my Mom. I also used to beg for the products that were on infomercials and swear that when I was old enough to get a credit card I was going to buy every.single.one. (I own exactly zero, thank you)
Hahaha!!!!! Oops! ;)
I was watching golf at some point over the summer when my 6yo came into the room and asked me "are those the guys who have to run to the bathroom all the time?" You know, from the Flomax ad..... Oy.
We always put those commercials on mute. One day my son asked why...my response was it was just prettier without sound. My husband didn't miss a beat and added..."not unlike your mother"! I can't watch the ads without laughing anymore.
That is also why I don't allow my son to watch ESPN without adult supervison. Just too much info.
my son asked about what that was. After a very simple explaination, he said he didn't know why anyone would want to make it hard to pee in the potty. But whatever.
Oh she slays me.
Awesome.
Know what's even worse? Flippin' NFL games!!! Uh, HELLO? I have LITTLE KIDS who are now afraid to get on freakin' elevators because you put that M. Night Shalamalan (Office reference there, kiddo) movie trailer in there. So THANKS A LOT programmer dudes! It's the middle of a Sunday afternoon, why should I have to monitor the commercials in front of the kids?! /rant.
This post needed to come with a warned to not sip Mt. Dew from a straw as we read it. Don't ask why. Now, if you'll excuse me, I need some paper towels.
Shut up! That is WAY too funny!!
YES
