Pizza Night!

Ever since I can remember, my little boy has loved commercials.  He repeats them when you least expect it, and it's been that way since he was probably 2 years old! Not unlike many people, commercials get him interested in new toys, new snacks, even family travel ideas, and earlier this week was no different.

After homework has been completed, Nas likes to watch "a show" or two before dinner.  While watching "a show" earlier this week he saw a pizza commercial, probably Pizza Hut, and said "We should have pizza for dinner!" Ha! Babe was out of town on business and all I had in mind was leftovers to help clean out the fridge.

"Hm, that does sound good. How about Friday?" I suggested.
"Huh, okay," Nas said as he went back to his show.

Television has it's place after all.  It helps our family plan dinner menus and, as of late, it has provided Nas with the idea that we should go on a Disney Cruise for a family trip. 

"They have games, pools, even a mystery game I could play with other kids on the cruise! We should go, Mommy!" He offered one day at breakfast.

See, so all is not lost when it comes to allowing kids to watch TV during their free time.  All I can do is laugh when Nas comes up with these random ideas based on commercials.  I hope the marketing and advertising people are making BIG bucks for these ads and their strategic placement because we're having pizza night tonight AND apparently, at least in Nas's minds, the Disney Cruise is back on the must-do list.  Good heavens.
