Marketing

I have learned many things as a mom, but one thing that I am always shocked at is the ability Anna has to recognize brands/labels/names.  I'm not sure if it's the amount of time we frequent certain stores or eat certain foods, but Anna knows her labels.  A few she knows very well and will call out when we are driving past in the car with no prompting:  Target (this is a frequent stop so not surprising--she also identified a semi with a Target logo on the side on our way to Iowa last weekend), Home Depot (also frequent), ChuckE.Cheese (only been once), McDonalds (been a handful of times over the past 2 years), Doritos (identified on the side of a chip truck), and Cub Foods (frequent, plus she also asks about the "little carts" when we stop).  There may be others, but these are the big ones I'm remembering right now.  It's amazing how important those little logos, colors, etc are to the brands; their marketing is amazing...Anna's hooked.
