This is such an important thing to learn though!
Maybe a few wasted toys and less-than-great paper towels are worth learning
this.
We have great fun at the TV's expense -- and advertisers and politicians and
newscasters and . . . well, just about anybody who is trying to spin or hustle
. . .
My kids are older -- 9 and 11 -- but this critical analysis (cynisism? :) )
of marketing techniques is a terrific way to develop logical thinking and all
sorts of real life valuable skills.
My 2 cents anyway. :)
