Don't know why I kept my children's names secret in my first post but they are William and Henry. Like the princes, but not after them. William is the four year old, and by default Henry is the one year old.
William may watch a little too much t.v. Maybe he just pays too much attention when he does. He is a marketer's dream. Loves commercials. Wants to know everything about them. And I mean ALL commercials. Drug companies schilling medication? Check. (What's that medicine for? What kind of doctor is that? What kind of hospital is that? Is that for grown ups?)
And reverse mortgages. Apparently the Fonz is now schlepping reverse mortgages on t.v. All he had to do was offer a free dvd and William was hooked.
MOM! Look! You can get a FREE dvd!!!
I don't think you'd want that one, though. It's boring stuff.
Borin' stuff?
Yeah.
Who is that?
Henry Winkler.
Who is Henry Winkler?
He's an actor.
Oh.
And now every time that commercial comes on, William exclaims, "Mom! Look! It's Henry Winkler!" He's made an impression.
And every once in a while he'll add quietly, "Wish I was an actor. (Pause). Like Henry Winkler."
