MY FUTURE SALESMAN

I guess Tyler watches too much tv, either that or he just pays WAYS too much attention to the commercials (he even has me rewind some commercials if he missed one that interested him)! He has become quiet the salesman:

1. At Wal-Mart while shopping for night-light bulbs, Tyler looks around and points to the spiral, energy efficient bulbs and says "Mom!! Get those over there! They will like last forever and save you 20%!"

2. While on the phone with Becky complaining about a stain on something that I didn't know how to get out, Tyler taps me on the shoulder and says "Excuse me Mom, Kaboom can get out stains."

3. When I was finishing up on the treadmill, Tyler comes in and tells me about this new ab machine that you put your knees on and rotate side to side (I don't remember what it is called) that he saw on tv. I asked him if he was telling me this because he thought I was big (loaded question, I know!). He sits there for a moment, pats my behind, and says "Mom, just order it" then walks out of the room!!!

4. One day, right before we bought the new home, Tyler wanted me to take him to McDonalds. I told him no, that we needed all of our pennies for the move. So he sits there a minute and goes, "You know Mom, there is this place. You call them, they will send you and envelope and you just put all your jewelry in it and send it back. Then they will melt your stuff and send you money. Then you can take me to McDonalds."

5. We were down the cleaning aisle in Wal-Mart (yes, we are at Wal-Mart alot) and Tyler got all excited and started pointing to the Rug Stick. He proceeds to tell me HOW to use it - "you just spray this stuff on the carpet, then rub this other thing back and forth and the carpet is like BRAND NEW!! You should get that Mom."

6. At dinner the other night, Isabella dropped something on her dress. Tyler tells me that it is ok, I can just go to Wal-Mart and buy this stuff you put on it then throw it in the wash. "It will be as good as new". Mason asks him "Tyler, do you know what it is called?". Tyler replies, "Yes Dad, it is OXI-CLEAN".

I think these companies need to start sending my child compensation for all of his endorsements!! :)
