would you like some sasquatch skin with that?

in case you missed it, college football season is in full swing.

also, our beloved colorado rockies just got spanked in the world series last night.

"so what?" you ask.

well, in our household, football PLUS baseball EQUALS ...

"sports on television"

a lot.

and "sports on television" means my kids are exposed to very "manly" advertisements for such consumer products as beer and beef jerky.

and it just so happens that, while i'm not a big eater of beef jerky, if i WERE i'd buy one brand and one brand only just because of the ads ...

Jack Link's Beef Jerky presents "Messin' With Sasquatch".

so we're in costco the other day and we walked past a display of beef jerky. not the jack link's kind, but the costco kind.

and all of a sudden wyatt points at the display and announces "there's some sasquatch".

oooooh, this is good ... he actually thinks beef jerky is called "sasquatch".

so being the exceptional mother that i am i snicker a little under my breath and tell him WHY YES, YOU'RE RIGHT, THERE IS SOME SASQUATCH.

john catches up with us and before i have a chance to share with him that our 4 year old has concluded that beef jerky is called "sasquatch" wyatt looks up at his daddy and asks him - while pointing at the bag of beef jerky - is that made out of SASQUATCH SKIN?

so, of course, we had to buy some, just to let him know what sasquatch skin tastes like.

it's salty.

but, of course, you already knew that.
