proof that television advertising does work

Filed under: parenthood

I caught the Fecklet dancing around the house singing “WE BUY ANY CAR, DOT COM!”

Sigh.

I’m running my book giveaway till Friday, so you’ve got plenty of time…

  1. I’m guessing that’s a TV jingle? Mine does the same thing — when we’re driving in town and we pass certain fast-food establishments, the Offspring will burst into song, singing the appropriate jingle for that restaurant.

    It seems to be unavoidable, I’m afraid.

  2. Edit:

    *sigh* If I’d just READ the title of your blog post I’d have KNOWN it was a TV jingle you were talking about…

    I blame baby brain.

  3. Ah, yes, Kris, it’s a jingle for a website where they—well, they buy any car.

    Dot com.

    While I’m not glad your Offspring suffers from the same malady, I’m at least reassured that it’s relatively normal.

  6. Funnily enough ‘Ocado’ was up there in my little ones first ten words.

    Then there was the time the older boy spilled a tub of paint all over the carpet, he then looked me declaring I needn’t worry, I just needed to buy Cilit Bang.

  7. LOL Carol! Did you offer to give him the Cilit Bang so he could clean up the paint?
