  1. A kid
  2. A cute kid
  3. A dog
  4. A cute dog

When Mom and Dad told me what the guy said, we all had a good laugh.  Then I started thinking about different ads I’ve seen on TV.  Doesn’t it make you want to buy whatever the product is if you see a cute little kid playing with a fluffy puppy in a commercial?  Even as a kid myself, I notice those commercials more and I bet parents, or even adults that aren’t parents, do too.

I haven’t done research on this myself but apparently there is a lot of money spent on kid-related products and pet items.  So I guess the guy’s comment sort of makes sense.  At least it’s something to think about.  Hmmmm?  :)
