Heather: disturbed by Kiafest
Brother Jason: shopping Kiafest
Mom: what’s Kiafest?
Jason: Poor mom, doesn’t watch TV.
Heather: Those commercials where the salesman is flashdancing? Kill me. And not in the good way.
Jason: Yeah, they bugged the hell out of me last year.
Heather: I worry that mom is not aware enough of her surroundings. Kiafest could be going on and she would have no idea.
Jason: We may need to think about a live-in current events nurse.
Heather: Yeah, maybe you’re right. I just don’ t have the kind of time it takes to care for her multi-media needs. Can we afford in-home care? I think it’s time to call a family meeting.
Jason: I mean, does she even know about the Dodge Sales Event, or Toytoathon? Maybe she could move in with me and Jamie. The rest of the family would have to pitch in for care costs, but it might just have to happen.
Heather: The cable bill, we could split that.
Jason: We’d have to upgrade to HD – that might be a hefty cable bill.
Heather: She’s our MOM. We can’t not. I mean, what if she gets WORSE?
Jason: But they didn’t even have HD when she was a kid. How can that be considered a necessity for her? No, you’re right… we have to.
haha – your mom is lucky to have you two
haha! I love it! My brother, sister and myself always tease my mom about things like that. Glad to see there are other people that do the same to their mom (and their mom knows it’s a joke). I thoroughly enjoy your blog. I am a 5th year senior in college and always find time to read your entries. Thanks for keeping people in the real world. I’ve even started my boyfriend in reading them!!
Hahaha… I know the feeling. My mom is in the same boat as yours. The world could collapse and she would have no idea, and I don’t think she would really care either. She has cable tv, but the trick is getting her to actually turn it on. : )
Love it! I considered it a huge success earlier this year when I taught Mom not only how to text message, but how to use the T9 function (her reply, “So THATS how you respond so fast!). I can only imagine what our kids are going to have to keep us up to date on someday.
Hey. Be nice. I’m one of those moms and I don’t know what any of you are talking about, but I know you’re talking about me!
zoom, zoom…
The Hyundai Holiduh event is also on. Make sure you get a comprehensive care provider, one that knows how to change an iPod.
Too funny! My sister works at the ad agency for Kia, and she sent us all this commercial to get our comments before it aired. I thought it was pretty funny, much better than how they massacred “Sound of Music” last year!
The nice folks on the radio also informed me that it’s:
“Happy Honda Days” and the Lexus “December to Remember”.
My parents never change the time on the car clock. The just remember it’s either Daylight Savings time, or not.
Does she know about the FORD of July?????
Heee! My siblings and I are plotting how to teach our parents to pick up the call-waiting on the phone. Maybe they’re too distracted by the updates on Kiafest on their HD?
How you could you not love a short little man rubbing himself all over as he dances in circles? Jazz hands anyone?
Your family is so cute
You are a silly, silly girl!
Tri-state Honda Dealer (tweak) makeover commercials (NY,NJ,CT) by former sports tapehead W Wolf are funny. The animation of him as a cutout w/ moving mouth only, needs no further explanation. Looks like a Jonathan Borofsky sculpture. “C’mon, let’s go to the videotape”.
