This is in no way going to be some awe-inspiring post, so don't expect a real epiphany from me today. I was watching a Jiff peanut butter commercial today, and I just laughed out loud to myself and my constant companion, my furbaby, Delilah. The one where the kid says "we only have one slice left" so the mom is like "ok, well Jake gets to cut the bread in half" and jake is like "yeah!" but then the mom drops the bomb and says "but cody gets to choose which half" so cody, who originally gets screwed in the deal is like the big winner...I laugh b/c Jake is like ok with all of this. In the real world, all of the kids that I personally know, would have flown off the handle when they found out that they had been duped by their own mother. In the real world, Jake would have been kicking cody under the table, and then cody would have been reduced to tears and trying to hit Jake in the eye, and mom would be yelling "stop hitting your brother" and jake and cody would be chasing each other around the house with a bat and mom would try to break the kids up and put them in time-out and both the boys would be yelling "I hate you mom" and something along the lines of "you ruined my life!" Mom would be looking for her xanax and be calling nanny 911...
There may be some of these jiff families in the world, but I'm just saying that I don't know any kids, well, I know one set of really polite kids (good work, Neeta!) that would be as nice as this jake and cody. Also, is it realistic to think that the last piece of bread wouldn't have been that crappy end piece? Even peanut butter won't get me to eat that piece, I give that one to the birds...
All of this analysis on a jiff commercial brings me to the fact that I need to get back to work, and put all of this realistic world view and observation to good use. Look at all of the world's problems I could solve...watch out people I'm deadly!
Please, know that I laughed to myself (and to Delilah) the entire time I wrote this post...I cried I laughed so hard, and now I have to end this because if I don't I will wet my pants :D
I wish laughs and smiles to all!

Apparantely, you've had some hidden video camera in my home and seen what happens when there's one piece of bread left...you were right on! As far as the crappy end piece-I hate it! Hailey is the only person I've ever known who is perfectly content with that piece. I think that you should your powers to a greater good. You could call the bull on everything on TV nowadays. Your name could be "The Commercial Crusader". I'll even get you a cute cape with sequins. ;)
LOL! Sorry.... /runs to change her pants! :D Love you sweetie and your crusading spirit!
