So the average American child will watch about 30,000 commercials a year. Fortunately, we don't watch the "average" of 4 hours a day, and thanks to our trusty DVR we skip through most commercials. That's why I was surprised when Rachel worked these into casual conversation:
"Mom, you should take Zyrtec. It starts working 2 hours before other medicines do."
"Mom, you'll never believe this, but there are these bags. They are green. And they keep foods fresher longer. If you don't put them in green bags, the food goes bad."
"If we ever have a plant in our house, we HAVE to get an Aqua Globe. You have to fill it with water and press it into the soil, and it will water your plant for over two weeks [yes, those were her exact words]. It gives plants just the right water."
I guess it just reinforces the fact that kids are like little sponges who absorb everything they see and hear; you have to be sooooo careful about what you expose them to.

Hey Emily, I didn't know you had a blog, it's cute. Rachel seriously cracks me up, thats funny that she repeats commercials.
It's a good thing that you don't have a potty mouth!
You obviously aren't keeping up on your blog since your last post was in June, but it's very cute and Rachel is freakin' hilarious.
Emily, I'm not sure how I stumbled across your blog, but I need to add to your commercials from Rachel. The other day we were at dinner and Tyson and I were talking about something political and Tanner piped in and said, you should vote for John McCain...(I can't remember exactly what he said) but then he added, I'm john McCain, and I approved this add. Where did he come up with this? He doesn't even watch the channels that political adds are on! Anyway, glad I found your blog.
