Clicky

This commercial, even though I'm only 20 and still in college, really touched me. I don't know why, but it just seems funny and true at the same time.

There's a similar one running here where it's the other way around: A little baby girl is asking her dad for the keys to the car so she can go out with her girlfriend (... and after a bit of grilling by dad, she admits "Derek too!"

) and he grudgingly gives her the keys. But when the shot goes from him with the keys to her, she's now 20-something years old and says "thanks dad!" and leaves.

Then later, after the voice-over for whateveritisthey'reselling, a little boy walks in, grabs a coat of a chair and heads for the door. "Where are you going?" asks dad. "'Work." little boys says, coat in hand, walking out the garage door.

"They grow up fast." or some-such is the tag line.

Very clever, and YES, VERY true!

Interesting how this ad does it the other way, too!

I think planning ahead is key.. I mean look at me i failed to plan so I planned to fail and look where i am going to school with out knowing what i want to do. So plan ahead look into everything and don't be afraid to try new things you never know you may come to like one of those new things.
