Sedate Your Kids While They Play
If your child won't sit still at the dentist, the doctor, or the kitchen table, you need the PediSedate Helmet. The device consisting of a colorful headset that connects to a game component or a portable CD player. After a snorkel attachment goes into the child's mouth, the helmet will monitor respiratory function and distribute nitrous oxide or anesthetic gas. The company website states, "The child comfortably becomes sedated while playing with a Nintendo Game Boy system or listening to music. This dramatically improves the hospital or dental experience for the child, parents and healthcare providers."
You moron. This device is clearly designed for oral surgery, emergency room situations, and the like. Why would "any use be misuse"?
Was it your kid that was putting his hands in the garbage can then playing with the drink lids at Roly Poly, then stepping on my suede shoes? DCFS would still be happy to find that kid a new home, I'm sure. Sure, you have to accept some acting up and rebelliousness, but you can't just let the kids do whatever they want without limits.
