1, 2, 3


(still from the commercial...found here)

Today me and Ryan were sitting in the waiting room at the doctors. We were talking about lots of different things like my day at work and Ryan's schedule tonight. At some point, we referred some Simpsons episodes. In an effort to not be discussing Milhouse when the doctor walked in, we decided to change the subject. Somehow the subject of a certain commercial came up.

Has everyone seen that Slate by Chase credit card ad where the woman surprises her husband and tells him they are having triplets? And he faints and says 'triplets' as if we couldn't figure that out on our own?

Ryan and I had many questions: Why was he just finding this out now? She is pretty far along. Has he not been attending her doctor's appointments? Has she known this whole time? Why was she hiding it? This joke is pretty lame for her big reveal. Is she playing a trick on him and really let her 2 pregnant friends hide their purchases at their house?

I am so glad I married this guy. For many reasons. But hating on the same commercials is definitely one of them.

    I always wondered the very same thing. I'd hope that Chris would realize by that point that there were three babies in there!

    I thought this was your way of telling us you were having triplets! Hope all went well at the doctors.

    Oh, I can't stand commercials that center on a man/husband being stupid or lazy, or a woman/wife trying to pull one over on him. We talk about this a lot at our house too.

    OH GOD I hate that commercial too. I feel like it's a throwback to the 50s, when women did all the baby-preppin' and baby-birthin' and baby-raisin' and men pretty much just smoked cigars and drank and waited to get told if it was a boy or a girl.

    My eyes were really wide by the end of this post, wondering if you were going to say you were having multiples! Haha!

    No need for multiples: our child will contain the awesomeness of three regular children.
