my journey

This morning the postman delivered a “my journey” box from Pampers, covered with a photo of a pregnant woman at her baby shower. I had signed up at Pampers.com three years ago when I had our first child because I read a tip somewhere that you could get coupons for free diapers, which turned out not to be true.

Contents of this particular promotional gift box:

• One Size 1 Pampers diaper
• Secret Clinical Strength deodorant
• One Swiffer Duster
• A DVD of a behind-the-scenes look at As the World Turns. It gets better - also included on the DVD are “Useful tips for taking care of your precious newborn.”

From the my journey booklet that accompanied these goodies, I gather that Pampers thinks that I’m still pregnant. Or perhaps they think I’m due to get pregnant again. I know Procter & Gamble tests the hell out of everything, so I’m having trouble imagining the focus group of pregnant women who informed the moderator that what would be really helpful to them is a duster, deodorant, and a DVD of some soap opera stars.
