Your Hiney Will Thank You! – Quilted Northern Commercial

Filed Under: Kids Posts Tagged With: , , ,

“And your hiney will thank you,” repeated Lily with a straight face.

I know, you are probably asking yourself has if I have lost it and what am I even talking about?

Well, let me set up a scenario for you.  Recently, my husband put on the HUB channel for my girls to watch Tiny Toons with him, because he loved the cartoon when he was older and thought the kids could watch and enjoy.

Before you judge, we have both watched our fair share of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and Disney Princesses.  So, he thought he could watch something that was at least G rated that he too could enjoy.

While watching a commercial came on for Strawberry Shortcake.  The girls asked if they could watch it.  To be quite honest, I watched this show as a kid and even had a Strawberry Shortcake baby doll with matching stroller.  This was back in the 1980s and I yet I still remember the doll smelling like strawberries.

But never back then did I imagine that my own girls someday in the future would start watching this cartoon and be (well for a lack of a better word) obsessed.

And the stroller I had, too–It had a huge strawberry on top–will never forget this!!

They request it on DVR all day now that Kevin did DVR five separate episodes.  They watch it so much that when recently for Emma’s birthday she was given a giftcard for Toys R Us, she went to the store and purchased the Strawberry shortcake Dollhouse and matching car set.  The girls both love it and can sit playing with it peacefully and quietly, except for when they fight over some part of it that they other one wants (yes at almost 3 and also 4 years old sharing is still a hard concept).

Ok, back to the actual show that they have watched so much that it would seem that Lily has memorized and even has her favorite commercial played during it.

How did I find this out?

The other night, she was watching a DVR’d episode, when she starting repeating these little kids in a commercial word for word.

I listened while Lily repeated this little girl explaining to her baby brother all about Quilted Northern and how wonderful this toilet paper truly is.  The commercial really is quite cute, because this little girl is giving a teaching lesson to her little brother.

And the last line was the one that I began this article with.  Yup, you got it, Lily not even 3 years old proceeded to tell all that was listening (ok, just Kevin, Emma and I), that “Your hiney will thank you!”

Seriously, I guess my kids watch a bit too much of this show for her to be able to repeat the lines in a commercial, but then again please don’t judge, because she is quiet and not whining or complaining.

And sometimes peace and quiet is really a good thing and to be quiet honest my reaction at Lily’s repeating these line was to laugh, because it really was quiet funny to hear these words come out of her little mouth!!  I even tweeted about it, because I just couldn’t resist here:

And yes I even tweeted about it, because I could!!

    Haha ~ I can just imagine that you almost fell on the floor laughing when Lily said that! Kids are hilarious in what they say and how they pick up things! Just last night that Geico Hump Day commercial came on and RJ was saying "Hump Daaay!" over and over again and Sofia started saying it then, too. I about died! I remember Strawberry Shortcake too and my cousin and I had Barbie-type dolls that we'd play with in the pool.

      Kera, I pretty much fell to the floor laughing hearing her repeat that. And that is too funny Sophia repeating RJ last night. I remember Kevin said a few funny things in the past and both girls have repeated him, too. Love it and seriously just had to share this one here!! 🙂 xoxo!!

    What a blast from the past. I had both the doll and carriage. I wish my mom had still kept them. Collin sometimes watches Strawberry Shortcake and it is such a cute show, but I still like the one from our day. And yes Collin repeats commercials and lines to shows all the time but nothing as cute as your honey will thank you.

      Sara, I am so glad someone else not only remembers but had this doll and carriage. I had to search Google long and hard for pictures, but seriously loved both and needed to include in this one. And I know she really got me with the hiney quote. I love though when they repeat things (even if they shouldn't), because seriously can't help, but get a good laugh!! 🙂

    I guess I need to tell Bev to buy some of that toilet paper the next time she goes shopping. LOL I've never had my hiney thank you for anything. 🙂

    Thanks for the laugh, Janine, and have a great day.

    Oh my goodness! Janine, that is just too funny! Isn't it funny that now they watch the same things we did…my daughter loves Strawberry Shortcake and My Little Pony…and the dolls still smell like strawberries even the little ones! LOL! She also watches He-Man and She-Ra! LOL! The other night I walked into her room to tuck her in and she was watching…Mork & Mindy! I just about died laughing!
