Effective Advertisement
Yesterday, while driving to my midwife appointment (which I will expound upon later), I passed a billboard that simply said, "Call Your Parents".
That's it.
No business listed, no hidden advertisement, just call your parents.
I had to laugh-- I could imagine a group of disgruntled, Seinfeldian parents sitting around a bridge table, complaining about their grown children never calling home. Then one of them has the bright idea of starting a billboard campaign to remind their negligent children to shape up.
So of course, I called home.
I'm a sucker for imperative advertising.

That sounds like a billboard my mother would take out.

Can't ignore those signs... I obeyed last night and found out Mae just got out of the hospital...

I know- I heard about that. Ugh. I'm glad she's better, though.
