Words of Wisdom

By Glinda

This ad is so very wrong, but I can’t help but love it anyway. Weren’t things just so very simple back in 1941? Just smack a kid around and give them a laxative!

And I have to admit, I am digging those spectator pumps. I have a thing for spectator pumps because even when they are standing next to a screaming child, they still look good.

    That ad is too hilarious! If only all our parenting problems could be solved with a pleasant tasting caster oil.

    BWAHAHAHHAAAAAA!!

    Now I’m having visions of little Mary strung out on delicious caster oil. I’m sure it’s very wrong of me, but I can’t stop envisioning her jonesing for a fix.

    I can’t put my finger on why, but this is exactly what I needed to see today.




  4. La Petite Acadienne Says:

    You have to wonder what the hell these kids were eating, that laxative use in children was such a pressing issue.

    “Laxative tantrums?”

    “So I slapped her and said she was a bad girl!” Doncha love an ad where a parent admits to child abuse without fear of child services?
