It is definitely time to have a talk about marketing with Lauren. Just about every Sunday morning after the few cartoons are over and she is flipping through the channels, Lauren will happen upon an infommercial. I can tell when it happens because my leisurely reading of the morning paper is interrupted by "Mom, come in here! Quick! You have to see this!". By the time I get in there, she can recite the whole schpeel and becomes insistent that we buy it. Sometimes, when I come right out and say no, she actually gets upset. One product in particular that she absolutely will not forget about is the Magic Bullet Blender. You know the one. It chops, it grates, it blends. It whips, it grinds, it steams. It's microwave and dishwasher safe. Even knowing what she knows - "You could mix vegetables in with fruits to make a delicious drink. Kids won't know vegetables are in there! But I will know because I saw the commercial." - I believe she could actually sell them herself.
