I have about six must-remember-this-happened posts that I need to write, and I will do exactly that, just as soon as I have the time and brain power to do it. In the meantime, I spotted this at Disney Studios on Monday:
A jingly, jangly set of bells attached to a bracelet and strapped to a kid's ankle.
Thoughts:
1. GENIUS! Who needs a leash when you can hear your kid from 1/2 mile away? Seriously, the bells were so loud you could hear them over the crowd, even when the kid was way out of sight.
2. GENIUS! Who is going to kidnap a kid knowing that grabbing her is going to make it sound like Santa got plowed and stumbled his way into the workshop, knocking over a herd of elves?
3. GENIUS! Who needs an expensive GPS system to keep track of their kid when you can create a $5 BLS. (That's Bell Location System, btw.)
4. GENIUS! After ten minutes of hearing the bells, no other sounds in the whole wide world seem annoying.
5. No, seriously, how do you not lose your mind listening to that all day?
