so i recently went trolling through my sister EvilBigMouth and brother-in-law PhillyCheeseSteak’s amazon wishlist for a baby shower gift. they’re both licensed architects, graduates of the frank lloyd wright school of architecture at taliesin, and their house – a complete re-imagining of the house our great-grandmother built (and father was raised in) – is the flagship project in their portfolio. every detail of the house, from lamps to furniture to silverware to hardware to crown molding, was carefully chosen. the recently completed nursery is no exception; EvilGremlin declared it “very designful.”
one of the things on the wishlist was an innovative reimagining of a baby bathtub. it calms the baby, soothes colic, stays warm longer, uses less water. awesome, right?
PositiveRoleModel took one look at it and started cackling. he said, “well i hope we’re getting them the drowning bucket. because that’s awesome!”
yep. it may officially be called the “TummyTub,” but i’m thinking we’ll refer to it as our nephew’s drowning bucket.

OMG – Is that really the picture from the website ad? Do they think new parents are stupid?

That’s got nothing on the Baby Oven.
