My son is an expert on "As Seen on TV" commercials. Right before my birthday, he asked me, "Mom, don't you wish you had a Snuggie?"
"A what?" I asked.
"You know, one of those nice soft blankets with arms," he replied.
I told him that I could not see a need for a blanket with arms, since a blanket would do just fine.
"But if you have a Snuggie, you can go outside and roast marshmallows in it," he argued.
"Why would I do that? I have a jacket. Besides, when do we ever roast marshmallows outside?"
He wouldn't give up on this notion that what my wardrobe was missing was my very own Snuggie. I had no idea what this was all about.
On my birthday, I found out why he was so sold on the many uses for the Snuggie...he and his dad surprised me with one as a gift (and Dad threw in a matching sapphire necklace to boot).
One thing the Snuggie ad doesn't mention is that you can achieve the great two-headed Snuggie look pictured here, just by cuddling up with your favorite little person on the couch. Who knew it was so versatile?
The other day, Alex told me that my eyelashes looked a little "clumpy" and that he knew just the thing to fix that. I guess Valentine's Day is just around the corner. I'll try to act surprised. In the meantime, I'll try to drop a few hints that what I really want is a Pancake Puffer.
