Kirtyhoo

Family fun night last night in front of the boob tube – happily clicking between “Dancing with the Stars” (go Cloris!) and “The Biggest Loser”. It’s very educational. Trust me. Anyhoo, up pops Macy’s new TV ad that reminisces about the good old days and features black and white shots from favorite TV shows. It’s a feel-good spot about how long Macy’s has been around – like 150 years or something.

As the spots ends, our genius son who’s currently taking an A.P. Economics course pipes up, “Sears has been around a long time too. We talked about it in class last week.”

Beaming at the realization that Tyler’s paying attention in class, I respond with, “You know, you used to be able to order homes from the Sears catalog.”

“Yeah, well you used to be able to order brides too,” Tyler added.

“Really?” I ask a little stunned. “Wonder when they stopped that?”

Tyler, “Well, when I order my next washer and dryer, I’ll ask if a wife comes with that.”

I just keeled over – dead from the shock of seeing a pig nose growing on my son’s face.
