My mother-in-law sent the girls some tapes of the old radio show Let's Pretend. She used to listen to it when she was younger and since the girls enjoy listening to stories she thought they'd get a kick out of it. And they do.
One of the more amusing aspects of the tapes is the inclusion of the ads they used to run during the programming for the radio shows. Each story is brought to you by some form of food or what have you.
The other morning McKenna came up to my wife telling her that you could grow babies from Cream of Wheat. She received an odd look and not much more was said. Then last night as we were getting the girls ready for bed we put in one of the tapes and it played a jingle for Cream of Wheat.
And it contained the line, "Cream of Wheat, good for growing babies." And the light bulb went on and my wife and I couldn't stop laughing for about five minutes. We tried to explaing the alternate meaning to McKenna, but I suspect we're all convinced that babies come from secret Cream of Wheat farms somewhere in the midwest.
