One of the things I love about being a parent is being suddenly caught off-guard by some random comment that one of my children makes. This one - tonight - is a good example:
While watching TV as a family, a commercial comes on for the new Schick Hydro razor. I make a somewhat sarcastic comment to Kristen that I am continually amazed how the shaving industry remakes itself year after year by claiming they have invented bigger-better-stronger-thinner razors.
Me: "Obviously I'm missing out since I don't use the Schick Hydro."
Miles, who is just sitting in the corner of the couch, minding his own business, says very matter-of-fact: "Dad, the best razor is the Fusion Pro Glide Power Razor. It uses the thinnest blades, and it has less tug and pull."
What?! Are you kidding me?! He's eight years old! I don't let him watch THAT much television! He's not going to shave for another five years ... but he's already planning what kind of razor to buy????
