Maybe I'll buy Huggies this month...

I get tired of the stupid (okay, so I think they're stupid) campaigns that most companies have lately.  I hate the fact that so many of them are based on sexuality or popularity.  Huggies sent a story in the mail today (along with some coupons in the back) that I would not have read except Graysen brought it to me to read to her.  I thought it was the first good, funny advertisement that I have seen in quite some time!  It was in full color and had awesome illustrations!  Some of you may have gotten it in the mail - for those of you who missed out, here's the story (sorry you're missing out on the pictures...try to use your imagination)!

Look at me, check me out

My name's Harry - Harry Hubble

You're probably wondering why I'm here

Inside this plastic bubble.

The answer's pretty simple

My mom is full of STRESS

She gets freaked when I get close

To any kind of mess.

So here I am, with my friend Sam

Who loves to finger paint

If my hands were ever red, green & blue

My mom would surely faint.

And at those birthday parties

Kids have ice cream on their cheeks

If that was me, my mom's eye  would be

Twitching for 2 weeks.

If you're uptight, Mom that's alright

It takes all kinds and types

But your messy-stress would disappear 

if you grabbed some Huggies Wipes.

Feels gentle like a washcloth

Cleaning any mess on me

Like ice cream, mud or syrup

And of course my poo and pee.

And just like that, the switched was flipped

My Mommy heard my plea

She released me from the bubble

And made a party just for me.

And mom no longer freaked out

With Huggies Wipes right by her side

She even got some ice cream on her face

A welcome sight I must confide.

So check me out!

I'm Harry Hubble!

In a plastic bubble?

No Way!

(in fact my mom is sending the bubble back to the bubble store today)

Of course Hunter's favorite was the "poo and pee" line, so we read that page several times (after we read the whole story 5 times!).  Pretty cute story if I do say so myself!
