Our godson and nephew, The Professor, succumbs to what his mom -- our sis -- calls "Pure delight and joy in interacting with his little girl,' the divine Miss Astell.
You don't have to watch to know:
She: I don't suppose you watched the Super Bowl, but, Anhauser-Busch had the BEST ad I have ever seen.
We: No. But Tuck was just telling me how bless it was. Then, of course, I burst his bubble by saying it reminded me of the feeling-good-about-yourself thing where the youngster has accomplished nothing but thinks he is big. He was not amused.
She: I understand your take, Sis, but, if you had seen the ad . . . it wasn't like that, at all. It was nurturing a dream. All Clydesdales dream of pulling the wagon. Be all that you can be.
We can dig it.
Update: Blog buddy Teresa of Technicalities provides a link to the Super Bowl ads so you can see for yourself (click on 3rd quarter and then on Budweiser Barn, second down, far left column).
Sissy - if you want to see it - the commercials are all here:

click on the 3rd quarter and click on the box that says Budweiser Barn.
Personally I thought it was a little too "sweet", but other people liked it. I didn't see too many of the ads this year, but most were pretty dull. Oddly enough I did see this one.

I agree with you, Teresa: a little too "sweet" for my taste. Thanks for the link. I've added it as an update to the post so readers can decide for themselves. :)
