We don't make a habit of turning on the TV and placing Rachel in front of it. We let her ask us to let her watch things, and usually they're movies like "Hello Kitty" and "My Little Pony." It's not like we demonize TV; we just don't have time to watch it (with the exception of "Donwton Abbey," "Sherlock" and "Mad Men," all of which I'm addicted to. And I need the down time).
But neither do we preach about the evils of TV, or TV ads. It's just not a big factor in our lives.
So imagine my astonishment when Rachel said the following this morning, totally out of the blue:
"Ads make you have movies that you don't want and your mommy and daddy think you're too little for. That's what ads do."
"Sweetie, who told you that?" I replied, astonished.
"Nobody did," she said. "I just thought of it."
