Tired of watering your plants?

I can remember the day the Aquaglobe first entered Emily's life. She spent the day with her Grandma and came home to tell me about this "cool thing" she'd seen on TV. She told me all about it and how I needed one and I listened and didn't really think twice, just nodding my head as she went through the whole infomericial. Well this was nine months ago and she hasn't been the same since.

A few months ago she went to Walgreen's with her dad and discovered that they carry the Aquaglobe, I think this was the greatest day of her life. Now I cannot drive by Walgreen's without coming up with an excuse to not buy the Aquaglobe. Without thinking, Aaron and I stopped there last night and had planned for him to run in and grab what we needed when Emily barrelled out of her carseat and said, "I've got to show you the Aquaglobes!" We just looked at each other and realized we couldn't say no to this, nor could we laugh because she is dead serious about her Aquaglobes. So we followed her in as she was on a dead run with a look of glee on her face as she went to show us her beloved Aquaglobes.

We've had to put a lock on all TV channels showing infomercials because besides the Aquaglobes she is now convinced I need a "Snuggie" as well.

Most kids at her age would be delighted to meet a famous athlete or actress or singer, but I think all it would take for Emily is to meet the inventor of the Aquaglobes.

I've toyed with the idea of buying a whole bunch of them, doubling the price, and sending the kid out as a door-to-door salesman. I'm not kidding, she has a sales pitch and everything. She has relentlessly tried to convince me that having Aquaglobes to water my two living plants will save me loads of time and hassle. My birthday is coming up soon and in all her persistance I've mentioned that this would be a really good gift, so if I do not receive the Aquaglobes for my birthday I will be sorely disappointed and a great deal of my time and energy will be wasted on watering my two plants. :)
