Mom, wheres my life?

I saw a TV commercial today, and it was another one of those commercials that I believed to be insanely stupid. Whenever a commercial inspires me to think deep thoughts about how dumb it is, you know it has to be pretty bad.

So the commercial kinda goes like this. Some children and a man all yell out asking their mom/wife where a certain item is. Then the commercial shows the boy going into the kitchen and opening up the refrigerator, and taking out some food. Then the voiceover goes and says something like, "Now, you'll never have to rely on your mom ever again when you're looking for something." First of all, I never knew that looking for a refrigerator would be something that takes time an effort. I mean, its pretty stationary in your house you know. Also, I'd hope that you wouldn't misplace the food IN your refridgerator, or else you'll be able to locate it pretty easily in a few weeks with your sense of smell.

The main thing that got me thinking about this commercial though, had to do with the first part with the children asking their mother where a certain item was. Lets face it, we've all yelled out that line "MOM wheres my blah blah blah?" And you mom will almost always yell back with a location or something like that, and then your mother just sits there and smiles contently, taking all the credit for having a great photographic memory. NO this is totally wrong. Do you want to know why your mom knows where everything is? Do you want to know why you couldn't find it in the first place? Its because you mom MOVED IT! If you ever leave anything out in the living room, then it is liable to be moved someplace where you'll never see it again unless your mother tells you. Your mother somehow sees every part of the house as her territory, so she sees fit to arrange it as she pleases, of course without telling you that shes doing so. Countless times have I come home during a 3 week absence, only to walk into my room as a stranger.

So next time you have the feeling to yell out "Mom where's my blue sweater?", you should change your wording to "Mom, where did you put my blue sweater?"
