"You Can Blog That!"

By
Services for Real Estate Pros with RealSatisfied

As we walked around Whole Foods looking for organic versions of the stuff we usually eat, my wife, Rocky, incorrectly read the price on some organic chewing gum and I reacted to it in disgust. I don't remember exactly what I said, but it was something like, "That's ridiculous. Why would something be that much more expensive because it doesn't have any chemicals in it? You should write about that."

My 7-year-old then reacted to my response with the comment below. I about fell over laughing.

Its amazing how our kids know what we would blog about or even what a blog is, LOL! Where so many adults still haven't a clue!!

That is too funny!  My 11 year old has his own blog.  We're starting them young here.

That is great! Thanks. Kids do pick up on everything. My husband, who never blogs, wanted to know if blogging was like a game to me, because I like it so much.

Jeff,

Too funny. I get that quite a bit at home with my three children. At first I think it was because they liked saying the word blog, well, it is a fun word.  Now it's because they like the idea of the whole words "up in lights" thing.

Jeff, I told my own children (many times) that kids are smarter than adults only less experienced. your 7 year old just proved it:-)

I listen to everything my kids say. I've even written blogs based on conversations with my kids.

Jeff, I was actually in Wal Mart earlier this evening and saw a can of " organic corn" It was 3 times more than the veggies with all the crap in them. I made a comment to the Wal Mart stocker guy that it just didnt make sense that we pay more stuff that has less crap in it! I think I will blog about that and mention this! Susan

I am impressed! I am sure he knows what a blog is, too! The friends of my teen aged sons were impressed I had a blog. My own kids could apparently care less. Unless it helps me earn money, which translates into more "stuff" for them!

HaHa!!! Reminds me of my 4 yr old telling everyone his daddy is watching Obama and not to bother him!

Anything organic will cost 3 times more than something chemical based unless you catch a good sale!

Supply and demand Jeff, although that too is a crock if you ask me.

That's cute about your kid though.
