A Back to School Mommy Rant

Most people have probably seen the above commercial. It's definitely a cute, creative, and catchy ad. And I've gotta admit, that song has been stuck in my head more than once.

But this morning, I saw the commercial again. And I heard something that I hadn't really noticed before. This music teacher actually says, "If your kids want to sound cool, they have to look cool."

Ummm.....That statement, sir, makes you a jerk.

I know that if my kid's band teacher were to say that to me or my child, he would find himself dodging various musical instruments that I would be hurling in his direction.

Yes, I know I'm overreacting. No, I'm not actually angry. I am fully aware of the fact that this ad is supposed to be a cute little song that sticks in people's heads. And that's exactly what it is, so they accomplished their goal. But I woke up cranky and now I want to throw things at a teacher who is actually only an actor. Don't judge my kid by her clothes. Jerk.

Sidenote: My child's school requires uniforms. She'll be going to school without denim, graphic tees, leggings, or tunics...
