I'm convinced that commercials and infomercials are targeting 5 to 7 year-olds or those who have the mental capacity of that age. My boys are forever trying to get me to buy something, usually with an 800 number, that they saw on television. The most recent product that we have to have is Mighty Putty. "It can fix anything!" There's also HD Vision WrapArounds, sunglasses that make everything look HD, they even have night vision ones. Nathan is convinced that these are exactly what we need.
One day while driving in the car, Nathan asked me very matter of factly, "Mom, are you paying too much for auto insurance?"
When Nathan was about three, we caught him with the phone in hand dialing while looking at the television. When asked what he was doing, "Calling Disney!" Of course!
If you have an commercial or infomercial in mind, my boys can quote almost every word of it. It's quite amusing at times.
