Note from Val:
Today is Super Bowl Sunday.
I have two playlists for your pre-game warm up. *One for girls. *One for boys. Why two?
You know why. I'm going to be brutally honest and get this elephant out of the room. Fact is, girls and guys transform differently on this day. It's just my observation (but I have 4 sons and a husband and all their friends over for this) and it's pretty clear that on Super Bowl Sunday the guys own the room, the house, the day. Girls are the guests. But there's one field where we all can play: the commercials.
Here's one to show what I mean. Note: in the end they live happily ever after.

This song choice is pretty hilarious. But even better, the product he's holding in his hand at the end of the clip.  | |
