The Grass Really is Greener Here...Maybe

Bragging about one’s kids is practically a varsity level sport out here in the ‘burbs (hence, the proliferation of all those “My child is an honor student at ABC Middle School” bumper stickers). But how many residents can brag about that iconic symbol of suburban domesticity, their lawn? The answer: us.

Yes, the hubby and I are fairly bursting with pride. I came home from work the other day to find a letter in our mailbox informing us that our personal patch of earth is being considered for a national TV commercial for a big name lawn care company. Yup. Apparently our lawn is one of the finalists being considered to play the part of “Lush Green Grass” in a future commercial coming soon to a TV near you.

Of course, it’s not a done deal. Apparently several other talented lawns are being considered. But as they say, it’s an honor just to be nominated. Our chief gardener, the hubby, is, quite naturally, just beside himself. Too bad they don’t make a bumper sticker for that. ‘Cause in the battle of the bumper stickers, surely “My lawn is a TV star” would trump even the most ivy-covered college decal.

PS: So will our lawn get the part? Stay tuned.

Congrats on your lawn nomination but just make sure you don't have to pay them anything for the honor of using your property in their ads- I don't trust anyone these days.
