We've been trying to teach our three-year-old son, Jake, to be patient when commercials come on. He's been raised on DVDs and On Demand cable, where with the press of button you can bypass everything and anything you don't want to see.
Thus, he doesn't quite get the concept of television advertising. But he's learning quickly:
Last week, he saw an ad for Chuck E. Cheese's during a "regular" TV show and said "Chuck E. Cheese's! Mommy, we should go to the store and buy that!"
Today, while patiently waiting for his Curious George DVD to start playing, the Universal logo -- you know, the one with the earth -- appeared on the screen and Jake said, "Look mommy -- a commercial for the earth!"

Too funny! Unfortunately, my son is already a marketing executive's dream. He loves the Subway commercials with Jon Lovitz, and the Travelocity commercials with the gnome. Do ya think he watches too much tv? Probably. Shh.
