This idea is going to make me filthy rich. I'm already working on the patent, so don't try stealing it.
This last week, I have been a "Stay At Home Mom". I have to say, I don't know how my girlyfriends do it. (Bless your hearts Kadi & Amberly.)
During my SAHM stint, I've learned a lot about my children. The top five statements that I have heard are (in no particular order):
*I didn't do it.
* That wasn't me.
* That's not my mess.
*I picked that up already, how did it get back on the floor?
And my all time favorite...
*It was her. ::pointing to another child::
My children still believe that I have eyes on the back of my head. That I see all/know all. I can not smudge this illusion by not following through on my "Iknowthat'syourmessIsawyou! Pickitup!" bluffs.
This is where the "I Didn't Do It" Bear comes in. I'm thinking he can be a nannycam only for naughty children. :) He seems innocent enough with his ruffled fur and patches. But, ah... What may resemble a crooked princes tiara on top of his head is actually a digital video recorder. (Bear..heh heh.. with me. I know nothing about technology beyond my cell phone and television remote.)
I'm going to have bears all over my house! I will now know who snuck the fruit snacks, who missed the trash can with the PB&J sandwich, how the fish tank water managed to slosh out of the tank onto the table all by itself, and how in the world the entire box of Q-Tips ended up floating inside the toilet.
*PING! IDEA!*
Know what would be SO awesome? Being able to print out photos of my children in action! Just imagine...
Me: WHO SPILLED APPLE JUICE INSIDE THE FRIDGE!!??
Chorus of angles: Not me Mommy!
I would then be able to present the children with the evidence!! I'm giddy with the idea! Not only will I have eyes on the back of my head but now a camera also.
