That sounds like an online game that I would be eager to play. ![]()
You would need some safety nets around the colander thing, so the baby would come to a safe landing. But then the baby’s head might get caught in the netting and start to strangle…
It’s not just infants. I saw on a show once a 12 year old boy describing how he almost drowned because he put his head under the baby ring with the suction feet and suctioned it to the bottom of the bathtub. He was able to free himself but, sheesh, kids are stupid.
For dumb shit kids like that, I would strengthen the suction cups. 
After the second sentence I was picturing something like a giant-sized salad spinner. I like mine better, catapult or no catapult.
A baby catapult has endless potential for fun AND death.
I think I feel a new sig line coming on.
Hope she’s growing rice, then.
So go write the “Angry Babies” iPhone app, and start waiting for the bucks to roll in…
Speaking of fun and death, may I offer the “preschooler catapult.” Some children in my preschool class have discovered that by using two blocks in a see-saw configuration they can slam down the higher end and send a hot wheels car flying at great velocity into their own faces.
Wait til the 8th graders figure out they can fire the first graders entirely off campus.
It’s also easy not to use it for 20 minutes while you tend to your child, especially when he’s in a precarious situation; or at least it should be to a responsible parent. Oh but wait:
And after much deep discourse with the 1-year-old (!), they agreed the infant should move into his own apartment.
The (ex) mother seems too intellectually immature to be responsible for another life. (duh)
But it’s not her fault! The fake babies they made you take home in health class didn’t need to be bathed. How could she have possibly learned?
Yeah, baby.
I’m sorry, but I could not let this gem go by unnoticed! ![]()
Yikes. Our little boy is almost exactly 13 months old. When he’s in the bathtup I’m almost always in there with him (most weeknights it might be the only time I get to spend with him) - but if for some reason I’m not, I’m mildly neurotic just turning my back on him to pick up a towel, let alone leaving the friggen’ room. Since he’s now more than able to climb up chairs, tables, and toilet seats on his own, we don’t even leave him alone with water in the bathtub.
Jesus, if you needed to be on the PC that much get a laptop with wireless already.
My days of under-estimating the stupidity of the human race are certainly coming to a middle. How long before we hear about a baby drowning even when the idiot parent was in the same room, but on an iPad?
There was a Korean couple that neglected their infant daughter while they were off tending to a character in a virtual reality online game. (They didn’t have a computer at home so had to go out to an internet cafe.) She ended up dying of starvation.
ETA: I just remembered - there was a Korean women who strangled her baby so she could play Farmville.
I turned my back on my 14 month old grandson today, and he ate some dried dog-food, from the dog-bowl…with added slurpy dog-slobber as extra flavour. And when I pulled the pellets out of his mouth, he plunged his hand back into the bowl for MORE.
What pissed me off most was that the little scroat wouldn’t eat his damned lunch that I had lovingly prepared for him.
The dog food was tastier apparently. ![]()
Ahahah - memories. My little brother (seven years younger than me) literally grew up with our dog at the time. And he absolutely loved the dried dogfood the dog ate - to the point that he’d cry non-stop unless he got some! Got to the point where my mom asked one of the doctors and then a vet if dogfood and milk bones were bad for him. Not really, was the answer. Maybe the calcium in the milk bones are even good for him?
Thankfully, he grew out of it in a month or two - but for a few weeks visitors got quite a shock when she’d take two treats out of the bag, say ‘Sit!’ and both dog and baby would promptly sit down and then get a milk bone a piece!
I’m against drowning babies, but that’s just my opinion. You are entitled to your own.
