I first saw this a couple weeks ago and laughed my head off and quickly forgot about it. Today I was reminded of this sick contraption as I was thinking about how some people I meet in my daily travels (even my own family members, dare I say) seem to be a bit 'quirky' and I start to wonder what happened to them in their childhood that would make them so odd as adults. Well whatever it was, this gadget shown above is the 21st century's version of the ultimate trauma inducer.
This thing here is called the 'BabyKeeper'. It's actually a clever, albeit weird solution to a real issue that parents have when they are out running errands with their rugrats and run into the dreaded problem of having to use the facilities; how is one supposed to hang on to the child while they hold their pants ( or, err... 'other' belongings)? ANSWER : You just throw this bad boy ( not the kid) over the door and sling your child inside! There Junior hangs in wait as he watches the most mortifying scene of mum or dad relieving their innards in plain view. And if it stinks, he's got nowhere to run, perfect. I think I will use it as a method of discipline for my kid, even when he's 13 yrs old.
But not only is it a sick tool for minding your child while you are busy doing your 'business' but it's a PRACTICAL sick tool! Why not get your kid to hold your purse and coat while he/she watches you hover and squat? Kid kicking you in the head? No problem, give the baby a roll of toilet paper to occupy themselves. Just throw your coat over the kid's head to blind them like they do with animals who scare easily. Beautiful.
Just be warned Mum and Dad, this invention will haunt Junior for the rest of his days. He will think of you the day the class bully hangs him up by his underwear on the hooks in the locker-room and hate you for the pansy he has become. You'll get yours someday! And 'Shame' will be your middle name.
