Crap. My kids are screwed. Since I worked the night shift in the ICU while I was pregnant with Jacob, there’s no telling what kind of beeps and alarms that kid was exposed to prenatally. I am pretty sure I have ruined him. Reba was probably exposed to too many infomercials since I was an insomniac during my pregnancy with her. She’ll probably end up obsessed with the Bowflex and Jack Lalanne’s juicers.

BTW, love you Kathi for keeping me motivated in my re-entry to blogdom.

Having been pregnant once already, and considering giving it another shot here in a few months, I can’t imagine anything more uncomfortable than strapping that thing on at 9 months! Of course, maybe had I looked into to something like this the first time, my 2-year-old Neanderthal might already be potty-trained and living on his own in a Manhattan high-rise, instead of throwing toys around and running into things, then falling over & yelling “I go boom, Mama!”

I’m just so happy that it comes with a comfortable fabric maternal pouch. Just imagine how awful this whole thing would be without that comfortable fabric maternal pouch?

So I’m not pregnant and have no intention to be for several years, but just imagine how smart my children will be if I start wearing this now? My kids will be rockstars at Sims! I’m ordering one of these today.

Is there a quiz once they’re born? Do you get your money back if they’re slow learners?

I rely on violent video games to prepare and educate my child. Quick on the trigger finger, that’s all he needs to learn.

Wow! I knew I waited too long. My poor children…doomed to repeat, “Would you like fries with that?” for the rest of their lives.

Just looked this up, and it is a real thing….that costs $150!!! I think I’ll just stick with the DS Lite and educational games for my 3 year old, thank you very much. It seems to be working pretty well, considering he can tell what hour it is on the clock AND count to 12! Besides, it’s not like my husband and I graduated from college. We don’t even care if our kids go! haha

I’m speechless.
My son just reported that he learned this was true at college in anatomy class. Is this a conspiracy?

Is anyone as creeped out by this as I am? Oh, Alison’s probably right — it’s probably a SNL skit.

Blech.

I prefer my less educated children
