It’s a BED for Goodness Sake
It’s usually the small things that irritate me. I know, ‘don’t sweat the small stuff’, but still. I was listening to a radio commercial last night and a man begins talking about how he took his 6 year old to the mall. The child proceeds to ask if he could go to the store to try the “laying down thingy”. The commercial man finally figures out that his son is referring to a bed. More specifically, the Sleep Number Bed. He figures his son likes to play with the remote control.
Of course, commercial man tells me to go to XYZ store so I, too, can try a laying down thingy. Now, was the point of portraying a 6 year old as speech impaired in the area of expressive language and vocabulary so that commercial man could say a cutsy tagline? UGGHHHH.
What 6 year old can’t remember the word bed??? My son is 3 and can spell bed !. Anyway, I told you…with me…it’s usually the small things.

holy shit, if that stresses you I shudder to think how badly real life kicks your arse.
Actually ‘real life’ has never been my problem:0

Hi! Thanks for the welcome. I appreciate it. This post really made me chuckle. Tonight, I think I’ll refer to the bed as the laying down thingy and see how my husband reacts. The look on his face will be priceless! Maybe it wouldn’t have been sooo bad if the kid had at least called it “the lying down thingy”…ya know, just to be grammatically correct.
