The Awesome Digger

It's no secret that Cooper has a mild addiction to infomercials. Seriously. Boy is obsessed with "As Seen On TV" items. I dreaded breaking the news to him that Billy Mays had died.

Anyhoo, over the weekend, I was alerted to an item that I apparently needed in a very bad way. Or so he thought.

His little sales pitch went something like this....

"Mommmmmmmm --You need to get this.

It's a digger.

You know how you bend down to plant flowers and it makes your back hurt??

(And he demonstrated)

With this you don't have to bend down.

So your back will never hurt.It takes the hard work...Out of yard work.

It easily attaches to any drill.

And digs the holes for you.

Just. Like. That.

And it's only 19.99.

Plus if we call now we get the bonus drill.

You just stand up...

And it digs the holes.

(More demonstrating)

And then you plant your flowers.

And your back won't hurt.

We need to get this.

Seriously.

Here's the number.

(Doing his best Vanna White impersonation by slowly running his pointer finger across the number on the TV screen.)

It's called the Awesome Digger.

I mean the ....

(Rewinds tivo)

It's called the Awesome Auger (which he pronounces Awguh)

We need to get this.

Seriously."
