"make your children work for their keep"


Saw this on Facebook and had to share. Baby Mops! I'm fairly certain this is a joke (please say it's a joke)... but hey, a baby is never too young to learn some responsibility and "a healthy work ethic." In case you can't read it, here's the text from the image:
Make your children work for their keep

After the birth of a child there's always the temptation to say "Yes, it's cute, but what can it do?" Until recently the answer was simply "be there and cry," but now babies can be put on the payroll, so to speak, almost as soon as they're born.

Just dress your young one in Baby Mops and set him or her down on any hard wood or tile floor that needs cleaning. You may at first need to get things tarted by calling to the infant from across the room, but pretty soon they'll be doing it all by themselves.

There's no child exploitation involved. The kid is doing what he does best anyway: crawling. But with Baby Mops he's also learning responsibility and a health work ethic.
Hardass Asian Parents, are you reading this? Suit up your baby in this handy little getup, and you've got yourself a human mop shimmying around the house. Baby not included.

UPDATE: I'm told that the Baby Mop image probably comes from this book: The Big Bento Box of Unuseless Japanese Inventions by Kenji Kawakami. (Thanks, Dustin.)
