I’ve mentioned before that I love Daiso, the Japanese dollar-store. Now Iris loves it too, ever since I brought her there and told her she could pick any toy in the store. (The most expensive toys in the store are $5, but most are $1.50.) She chose a gaudily-painted ceramic princess. The tennis game I bought there on my first visit (two flimsy rackets and two striped ping-pong balls) has provided literally hours of fun.
But it was Iris’s idea to record a commercial.

Sold! I am so going to Daiso next month!
Oh my gosh. That was just enough cute to last me all day. Thanks for being so clever Iris! Now if only there were a Daiso close by…
Wow! I’m impressed! So uh, how long did you two have to rehearse for the commercial?
Bravo!
We practiced the general idea once before recording. It’s unscripted. Feel free to be amazed.
What on earth!! I have been spending way too much on asian dishes!! I am certainly going to head to Daiso soon.
You should do more audio posts with Iris.. wait, she should do her own blog of just audio posts about her day. That would make me smile 7 days a week.
That was probably one of the cutest things I have ever heard! If I have $2, can I own the store?
Best podcast ever!
(Hmm, is there a link somewhere to all of the Iris Out Loud episodes?
Dave, I’ll get around to that at some point; in the meantime just do a search.
At last! A new episode of Iris Out Loud. It definitely did not disappoint.
We actually went to Daiso this morning and came home with a shinkansen train wash toy (wallet-busting at $4.50 for two train cars plus the train wash) and some tea supplies for me.
“this…box of towels!” loved this.
I am melting! she is so cute!
I bought bento boxes today! Daiso utterly rocks.
