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?

Freela- to my recollection- the original Transformers were hard to work- and Megatron/ Optimus Prime were/still are the worst offenders...
sorry- just revealed my dork level I know hehehe.
It was the only cartoon I watched as a kid (seriously!!), and one of the few *toys* I played with.
My grrls are now addicted to the movie. (They are counting the days til the 24th...)

I hear ya! I'm actually counting down the days til the 24th! My Dad & I are going to it, since my Mom doesn't want to, lol, she's gonna watch my munchkin, and we're gonna vege out at the theater and watch Transformers! Yay!(Don't know if I'm more excited about going to see it(it looks awesome) or at the prospect of having 2 hrs to watch a movie that doesn't involve a cartoon character!)
LMAO!
You all are so funny! My son was OBSSED with the plug outlets. He would palace anything in them, his finger, a fork, the dogs tail. We had spent TONS of money on outlet covers. My son was so OBSSED and DETERMINE to get his daily fix with the outlet. He ALWAYS got the outlet covers off. I would like to thank Scotch Tape for helping us with my sons addiction. Scotch Tape makes a clear packing tape that covers the outlets very well and my son could NOT get the tape off or poke anything in the outlet. Thank you Scotch Tape, my son is now free of his addiction and has not have a relapse once.
I totallylaughed outloud at this. That is amazing, LOL.
Those are great...I would like to thank the person that invented the baby mute button, more commonly known as pacifiers, they saved my sanity on more than one occasion.
