Scene setter: I'm peacefully sipping a cup of coffee in the kitchen while working on a grocery list. Brady and Parker are snuggled in my bed watching a tivoed episode of "The Future is Wild" on Discovery Kids. Brady comes running into the room, breathless.
"Hey Mommy!! Hey Mommy!! If we order Aqua Globes today we can get two for the price of one and they will water our plants for us! All we have to do is put water in them and stick them down into the soil and they'll water our plants for two weeks! And they won't make a mess on your table!! Two Weeks, Mommy!! Can we get one?"
For those of you with little ones who are still perfectly satisfied with PBS Kids, Disney mornings and Noggin, enjoy it while it lasts. I sure miss those simpler days of commercial-free early childhood programming.
Now excuse me while I reheat my coffee and contemplate the fact that I actually have no living plants in my house. Maybe I do need an Aqua Globe...

Hey, if you order one, can I have the other? I don't want to let Brady down by letting my one lonely plant die.
I'm with you on this one. My kids have told me "We NEED this" too many times. They are completely sold. As Dave says, they are a marketers dream.
