Marketing Genius
September 01, 2006

So I went to the grocery store and stopped to pick up some Gravenstein apples out the big tote outside. There was a sign on the box that said, 'Look! We're Naked', and below that said, "No sprays - no wax!"


A woman and her son were standing across the box from me. He looked to be about 8 years old, and had tousled red hair and darling freckles. And he was standing with his hands on his hips.

He read the sign and shook his head. He turned to his mom and said, "That's marketing for you, mom." And then he let out a big sigh. His mom looked at me and put her hand on her mouth to stop the giggle.


He was the cutest little marketing genius, ever.

Have a great holiday weekend, everyone. The Husband and I are taking a much-needed weekend away. No computers, no Tricks, no Customers. Just a lovely time of island hopping and trinket shopping.

A perfect way to spend the last official weekend of summer, no?

Island hopping! Oh, when you get back, you must tell us all about the food.

And yeah yeah yeah, the beaches, etc. But mostly? The food.

There's something great about island hopping and sampling different cultures that makes me insanely jealous right now; my summer holidays are long gone. Oh well!
