Alyssa the infomercial

Lately Alyssa has been watching Qubo. It's a station we didn't have until we got a digital television. It's a kids channel with mostly okay cartoons (they're actually old ones like Lambchop, Babar, Rupert but she likes them because they're all new) but every 15 minutes they have infomercials. Not for kids stuff but for things like the swivel sweeper, pancake puff pan, the cube thing where you vacuum out all the air, etc...

After watching this for a while, I find Alyssa going around doing infomercials to herself. The other day she got out our swivel sweeper and began "demonstrating" it for her audience. I hear her saying things like "$14.99 plus shipping & handling, can you handle shipping and handling?" She talks in shorts sentences and in a certain infomercially voice just like they do on the infomercials and sells things like her pens, dolls and I don't know what else. Now she is saying "you can stack them anywhere, everywhere. even in your purse..." Not sure what she's selling right now.

Not sure if I find it hillarious or scary... I'm trying to encourage her to watch less Qubo and more TPT Kids (because if I have to watch Lambchop one more time I'm going to scream - so beware tomorrow morning at 6:30am!)...

This is absolutely hysterical!!! I can totally imagine her saying those things. How funny! It's amazing how much they pick up on.
