The last week we had no cable (it was horrible :)) Dave got an atena so we could at least watch the local channels, while we waited for our new DVR to come it. The kids got hooked on Qubo, its a local channel for kids. Lots of cute cartoons and LOTS of infomercials. Mylo, our early bird, has been hooked on these infomercials. Its been really fun....
Early one morning Dave came upstairs and Mylo ran over to him and said, "Dad, mom really needs the instyler. Really she does!" I could hear Dave laugh and said "Oh really?" The instyler is a hair styler that combines a flat iron, curling iron, brush and who knows what else. But the infomercial says it doesn't damage your hair, rather it makes it shinny and healthy. Later that same day, I was at the fabric store with Mylo and Milli and Mylo says, "mom, you really need the instyler because the thing that you are using is damaging your hair and its not good!" All said with a very serious face. 
Today, as I was making a snack for the kids Mylo says, "mom you need the perfect brownie pan, because it makes them all chewy and you can cut it really fast". I told him he can get it for me for Christmas :) The brownie pan has some sort a cutter that give you perfectly cut brownies and you can make other amazing treat in it.
Its funny to see and hear Mylo (and Leah at times) almost repeat word for word the infomercials or at least the very important parts. I also think its sad that he knows this stuff, they don't watch that much TV. Maybe 45 minutes in the mornings.

That's funny! I've heard of those brownie cutters! I could definitely use one of those! :)
Those commercials are definately timed right when they know kids are watching...
How funny to have them so insistant.
Here's to hoping that you do get some cool gadget out of the insisting!
It must be something with little boys. My boys loved infomercials too. Well they still do and they love watching the cooking shows.
Don't feel bad, Hannah does the same thing. She'll always ask if I'm 18 or older, because that's what the infomercial says.
2 weeks after having Viv she was standing in front of me looking at my tummy & told me it still looked like I had a baby in there. Then a few days later she saw a infomercial for the bender ball & said I should get it & my tummy would go away. (THANKS BRAT!)
OH my funny, Ethan is my walking infomercial too!
That is so funny! I love that he was so insistent.
That is funny! What a kid!
Adelaide also informs me of what I need. Wait till Mylo sees one of these things in the store with in reach of his hot little hand. Then it gets more difficult to explain why we really don't need it because it's right here mom.
That is hilarious. You should let him watch QVC and give him a credit card, jeeze! :)
