Advertisers Put Ideas in My Head

07.18.2010

While cleaning, I found a booklet that I got from The Container Store advertising their upcoming sales. I love this store almost as much as I love Staples. (What does that say about my personality?)

A few years back, I noticed a definite change in my catalog browsing. Whether it’s Pottery Barn, Restoration Hardware or The Container Store, the items I find myself slowing down to look over are the children’s storage bins. I find something odd about this scenario.

A) I’m terrified of having kids so why am I even looking at these items?

B) If I had kids, I would want those bins, hands down.

How is it that I’m surer about the damn bins than about having kids? [Damn advertisers…]
