The joy of early morning infomercials

Glen and I have been "blessed" with really early risers. I cherish good sleep and am thrilled when Kate sleeps until 6:30am. Unfortunately that rarely happens, but when it does, there is rejoicing. Since we only have basic cable, PBS is all we've got for kids shows and it doesn't start until 7am. A little to late for us! I told Kate I don't really like her watching TV at 5am because who knows what kind of programming is on and whether it is appropriate for a 5 1/2 year old (she says she is way older than 5 year olds since she is 5 1/2). Kate told me not to worry that there is a great stretching show she watches in the morning and it helps her get in her exercise. Only Kate.

Yesterday we were taking a stroll through Costco when Kate started jumping up and down with excitement. On the shelf was the Magic Bullet, see above. Yesterday when Kate woke up at dawn she watched the wonderful infomercial advertising the Magic Bullet. This was Kate...

"Mom! Look it is the Magic Bullet! This thing is amazing! It chops, grinds, everything! You can cook anything in 8 minutes or less! You can chop an onion Mom and never cry again! It even comes with the juicer express. You can make juice from anything! You can even put a watermelon, with the green on and make watermelon juice! You'll never need to buy anything ever again Mom and won't have to spend so much time in the kitchen. Really Mom, it is amazing. I'm telling the truth!"

Glen and I about died laughing. I had to take out a piece of paper and take notes as she was talking. I'm sure if they had Kate on their commercials they'd sell more. She was so excited to share all the benefits of it with us. I can't wait to have her home from school so I can hear all her funnies every day.
