One of Nathan’s claims to fame in our family is that he was once the King of Infomercials.  While other toddlers were obsessing over Elmo, the Wiggles, and Dora the Explorer; our boy was enthralled by the Magic Bullet, Showtime Knives, and Jack LaLanne’s Power Juicer.  His TV time was spent tuned in to the 24-hour infomercial channel where he learned to recite almost verbatim the pitches for Space Bags, the Ionic Bweeze Quadwa, and Smartware, the revolutionary silicone bakeware–just to name a few.

This little quirk of his created an embarrassing moment at church a few years ago.  One of our sweetheart nursery workers was a very large lady who would be the first to admit she could stand to lose weight.  Nathan decided to give her some advice.  He asked, “Are you dissatisfied wif you body?”  I’m sure I gasped.  He continued, “You should twy Body by Jake Ab Sissuhs and get the sexy six-pack abs you always wanted.”

Thankfully, our nursery worker friend had a great sense of humor!
