When I was younger, I would see commercials for pads on TV. The women in them would always be running on the beach, or standing on the edge of a cliff with her arms wide open breathing the fresh air, or something cheesy like that that usually involved the people with big grins on their face like they were having the best time.
Anyways, I always thought that they were diapers for kids, and they were SO releived that their baby wasn't going to pee in their pants or all over the floor, they would run around smiling.
It never occured to me why the actual diaper-wearing kids were'nt in the commercial.
