The Face of Constipation Relief

The next time you are constipated perhaps Caid’s dimpled smile will be bring you solace as he has been cast in the marketing campaign of Colace to new mothers. For the pursuant two years, Kincaid will be featured in internet commercials, magazine and packaging advertisements for this celebrated stool softener. Ironically, when he auditioned in Manhattan last week for Purdue Products we presumed our precious progeny would promote poultry products- for which we were exceedingly proud. However, endorsing mild laxatives is far more honorable considering the relief Colace promises to provide.

Admittedly, I harbored great apprehensions regarding a day of shooting in the Manhattan studio- a bastian of urban artistic libertines with dubious names like “London” who look skeletally hungry and excessively caffeinated. Fortunately, though my prediction was unerringly prophetic, Kincaid won them over with his first charming sneeze, even reducing the tight black shirt-wearing producers (who shaved their chest hair) to baby babble. Apparently the producers were less acquainted with the limited capacities of infants- offering my toothless babe fresh (undoubtedly organic, all natural, free-range) fruit from the breakfront and the opportunity to “rest” in the lounge- which sounded more like an infant cigarette break than the three hour nap in a crib he desperately needed. Nevertheless, my skepticism of tattooed Palin-haters in combat boots was triumphed by the genial graciousness of everyone present.

It humored me that there was a general presumption that my entire family was involved in acting, though that deduction could have been made after my circus clown-like performance on the set- Anything to make my stool softener celebrity son laugh for the camera. Instead, I described my glamorous suburban domesticity to a lounge-full of NYC transplants who hoped their superfluous day jobs would one day be whimsically reminisced about during their feature Oprah interview.

In sum, a Toddlers & Tiara’s mom, I am not. Pedaling Kincaid for financial profit is only enticing when constipation relief is at stake. At least I can say I knew him before his laxative fame. On the set with his actress "mom"
