Do you ever catch yourself chuckling at the "mom endorsements" on commercials or advertisements?
We get a channel called BabyTV that my son loves to watch. I'll admit I was snickering today while watching the "parentorsements" they were playing. The scenes were moms and dads cuddled up on a couch, grinning baby sandwiched in between, talking about the educational scenes on TV. And that's GREAT. We try to watch TV together as much as possible and talk about what's going on too. But on the same hand, can we get real for a second? "I'm so glad that we have this opportunity to learn together as a family!" Uh-huh.
Mine would sound a lot more along the lines of "Dear Noggin, my eternal thanks for making Yo Gabba Gabba. Not only does it allow me a precious 30 minutes of time to do laundry (we use cloth diapers so if not for DJ Lancerock my child might be crapping in a bucket) but it has ensured me that my child will be so warped by weird Japanese puppets who look like dildos that he may actually have something else to talk about in therapy as an adult besides my parenting mishaps."
"Dearest Nickelodeon, I really appreciate you releasing the entire library of Blues Clues onto DVD. It may have drained my bank account, but that time spent sitting on my fat ass on the computer was worth every penny. I'm on CafeMOM, talking about the KID, that counts as attention right?"
"To the sweet, love of my life, inventors of baby gates---keeping the kid safe my patootie. Baby jail rules. I'm proud to announce that my child has had absolutely zero opportunity to try and stick his fingers in the dogs butt since purchasing your product."
THESE are the kinds of things we should really all get to see on TV. Do you have any REAL mom endorsements?

Comments:
Dear Cable Network.
Thank you for sydicating Saved By the Bell. With re-runs of Screech and the gang, my daughter now has a full appreciation or late 80's fashion and very big hair. The end of the show each morning also served as her "alarm clock" to get out the door for the bus. Thanks!
Thank you, Jose Cuervo. Without you, my children would be buried in the basement.
To the creators of Nickelodeon:
Thank you for Max and Ruby. Thank you for having the sense of humor to realize that when Max says, "Dumptruck" it comes out as "Dumptruck" but when a random 3 year old repeats Max, it comes out as "Dumbfuck." That. Was. Hilarious.
And Katie - I think I have a picture of one of the kids about to shove his finger up the dog's butt.
LOL FOR REAL!!!! I have to say to those extreme moms who DO follow the TV ads....(ummm yea...what world is that again haha) your nuts! You have NO clue how good of a sitter that Weird skinny guy on yo gabba gabba can be!!! He's perfect....and there's no harm in letting him watch my kids for thirty minutes so I can clean dishes for them to eat off, or better yet prepare the food they are gonna eat!!! this was great! Thanks for the laugh I sooooo needed it :)
Bump! Katie, not only was your original post hilarious, I LMAO over the other mom's comments as well. You are a creative bunch out there and I literally was LOL after reading them all. Thanks Katie for making us all laugh! I voted popular because you did just that. 
Dearest Handy Manny,
Without you I would never be able to take a shower or steal a few more minutes of sleep. I thank you for the universal appeal to both boys and girls. My daughter enjoys your catchy little songs just as much as the boys do. Thank you so much for the marathon on Saturday. I am looking forward to that just as much as I would Christmas. I shudder at the possibilities of what I can get done during those episodes.
Dear Calliou
Even though your little voice resembles nails on a chalkboard. I appreciate the half hour of respite I get when your show is on. During that time the possibilites are endless. I usually go to the bathroom though because during your show I can actually pee without a audience! For that I applaud you. I can put up with your whiny sister Rosey too if it means that my kids will acutally let me sweep the floor without putting more cherrios on the floor.
You know without Jose Cuervo my son would have never been conceived in the first place....
DJ Lance=Best sitter ever. I hope he quits his TV show and starts nanny-ing. Well actually in that case he would just be uber creepy. But still.
Dear Imagination Movers,
Thank you for making a kid's show that entertains me more than my children. If the Imagination Movers CD is blaring in my car, I can avoid being embarassed if I simply mention that I have children. And tell Mover Rich or Mover Scott to call me. Heeeeey.
Where the feathers are Max and Ruby's parents? You only see Gramma...never mom or dad.
I have totally said that before. That someone should call CPS on Max and Ruby. WTF is up with that? Does Ruby own the house? Doesn't it bother the grandma that with the exception of her visits these children are left to their own devices?

To the creators of Dora- thank you, without you my self esteem would have never known how humiliating it is to have a 2 1/2 year old correct your Spanish prounonciation!
