Some time ago I made mention of some of the more unusual radio and TV commercials that I was hearing .. adverts for all sorts of crazy things, from burial plots to the funeral plans that help you on your way to them.
BUT a couple of days ago my (nowhere near 50something) daughter pointed out that she had been streaming a USA station where she was hearing a non stop run of ads for adoption of real live children. I couldn’t believe it …
I struggle to imagine going about my business and hearing an ad that’s meant to make me think about adopting a child … and having a spontaneous thought, yeah I think I will do that, right after a get my hair done and pick up the groceries.
I couldn’t decide whether to laugh or cry… but I guess its a reasonable thing to wonder about on Mother’s Day.
