The Power of Marketing

My children are far from neat. They have most likely inherited my genes in this regard, for which I pity them (and myself) daily. Quinn, perhaps to put off bedtime last night, decided to surprise me by washing his bathroom sink.
"MOM! Come down here! I have to show you something!"
"Come upstairs and show me! It's bedtime!"
"No! It's down here! Come look!"
A few questions later, and I discovered he had wiped the sink clean.
"Good job, buddy! I'm proud of you!"
"Hey Mom. Did I use KaBoom, or Oxiclean?"
"WHAT?"
"How did I clean the sink? With KaBoom or Oxiclean?"
"Well, you used Clorox wipes, I guess. How do you know about KaBoom and Oxiclean?"
"TV".
Of course. TV.
