OMG! My baby likes Stay Free ads!

[Seabiscuit]

And my baby's a boy! They make him giggle hilariously. What's a daddy to do???

[xmas74]

1. Maybe he just likes the

women in them.

[Seabiscuit]

2. I dunno...

It's the blue wet spot on the white fabric that seems to tickle his fancy most. Don't ask me why.

[xmas74]

3. Reminds him of a diaper commercial.

[Seabiscuit]

5. I don't think he's ever seen a diaper commercial...

But he does laugh a lot when I change his diapers. Maybe that's it.

[xmas74]

9. Diaper commercials

pour the same blue liquid. So do paper towel commericials.

[Seabiscuit]

12. So what's with the blue liquid thingy???

[xmas74]

15. Shows up nicely against white.

[Seabiscuit]

16. So why do they do it at all?

I must confess I've never watched any such commercials all the way through - just noticed my baby giggling at the blue spot during the Stay Free ads.

[xmas74]

19. I don't know.

I remember back when they had the tubes in the home pregnancy tests that if it turned blue it was a positive. We always held the tubes up against white paper-it made it clearer.

[Seabiscuit]

20. So... is the point of the blue in Stay Free and diaper ads that they're

supposed to represent stains?

I don't remember the tube HPTs... the ones my wife used had one (negative) or two (positive) blue lines.

[xmas74]

23. It is supposed to represent a leak

that can be easily absorbed, I think.

They HPT's that had tubes were in the late 80's through the mid 90's. By then, everyone had gone to the sticks.

[Seabiscuit]

24. Well, it's all begining to make sense now. Thanks!

My baby watches all the Baby Einstein tapes - which use a lot of primary colors. That may be what he's responding to.

[xmas74]

25. That does make sense now.

It represents leaks-and the blue shows up brightly against the white.

[Bouncy Ball]

4. Stay Free?

Do they still make Stay Free????

[Seabiscuit]

6. I don't know, but they still put their ads on TV - reruns, perhaps?

No, wait - no one re-runs ads - someone has to pay for them.

[Debi]

7. Maybe he'll grow up to be an ad exec...

:cry:

[Seabiscuit]

11. Oh, Whorrors!!!

[ComerPerro]

8. They make me giggle too.

[Seabiscuit]

10. Do you giggle too when your diapers are changed?

:evilgrin:

[ComerPerro]

13. Depends who's doing the changing.

[Seabiscuit]

14. I figgered as much (no further comment necessary)

[tigereye]

17. when my son was a toddler

he was transfixed by a poster of Mariah Carey we saw in a store. He loved it. My guess was that he saw that she had prominent "methods of milk production," but it could have been that she had long hair like me. Never figured that one out.

[Seabiscuit]

18. LOL!! My son doesn't discriminate -

he just loves it when he's out in public in his baby carriage and women flock around him cooing about how cute he is.

Then again, he's never seen a Mariah Carey poster.

[tigereye]

21. it was the strangest thing

I am not a fan of hers, so it was kind of weird. Kind of like culture overwhelming everything else, very primal?


oh the babies love to be cooed over. Aw. I miss that age.

[Seabiscuit]

22. It's a wonderful age - just five months now.

[tigereye]

26. mine will be 9 next month.

It's hard to believe. He's up to my shoulder now and says things like, "leave me alone." They grow so fast. :)

[Seabiscuit]

27. Yipes! I worry I'm not taking enough pictures, he's growing so fast!

[SarahB]

28. He enjoys that fresh feeling!

:D

[Seabiscuit]

29. LOL!! Indeed he does. You should see him in the bath!
