Oh baby einstein, you evil genious!!

I had only hear about these baby einstein videos in hushed tones from other parents. It is like some secret society or something. I could not hold my curiousity any longer. When Sam was about 3months old I purchased 2 of these dvd's for the 1st time and I became a believer.  My son was fussy at meal times and I decided to try and sooth him with a dvd. I put on baby bach and it was like magic...he was quiet and riveted...I was puzzled...until I too fell victim to the melodic movements of the toys and the majestic colors that expoded onto the screen....It was hypnotic...I began to wonder if the was some attempt at subliminal mind control...I just imagined by sweet baby as a toddler and we're out shopping at Target or, heaven forbid, the mall and suddenly we pass the rows of baby einstein products and my sweet baby starts screaming at the top of his lungs for one or all of these items!!!!!! Oh baby einstein, you evil genious!!!! I will forget about these crazy conspiracies for now..only because my child is silent and I can enjoy a moment of peace as he and I become mesmorized together by the creepy plastic bear with symbols....
