Power of Commercials

Beth has been reciting TV commercials:
"7-11...It's a store and more!"
"Duo yi ge, duo yi ge, zai duo yi ge!" (the Marigold pudding one in Mandarin)

And singing TV ad jingles:
"Pizza Hut!"

With very little to do at night in our room, she almost gets free rein over the remote control. With just 4 working channels (none of which include Discovery Travel and Living - sigh!), she's exposed to too many adult programmes.

I muttered unhappily to hubby about this fact. He got the hint, turned off the telly and asked Beth if she would like to read together.

They are now cuddled up in bed reading from her Clifford the Big Red Dog series.

Am relieved and thankful that I remembered to pack her books and colouring materials.
