LazyHusband Smart Phone App Compliments Your Wife for You (Video)

The guy who came up with the LazyHusband app, Ethan Duggan, isn't married. That's good, because he's only 12 years old. One of his local (Las Vegas) TV stations says this about him: "...the 12-year-old from Henderson, Nev., said he was tired of always replying to his mother's questions of how she looked in an outfit, he came up with common phrases that, with a touch of the screen, can tell his mother, 'You look amazing today.'" The app costs 99 cents for iOS, Android or Kindle. Ethan admits that Dad helped, but says the app is his own work and was his idea. He's now working on Lazy Kid and Lazy Wife. The TV story says, "Phrases for Lazy Kid include, yes, I did my homework and I love you. Ethan said he is having a hard time coming up with common phrases that a wife might say to her husband." Pro basketball retiree turned business guy Shaquille O'Neal is reportedly interested in LazyHusband, which means you may hear plenty more about LazyHusband and the prodigy who created it.

Congrats kid

and the prodigy who created it

Slashdot thinks you are a prodigy. Of course Slashdot editors aren't that smart either so don't get too caught up on that.

It took me a second to realize that he may be a prodigy after all. Not for the app, but for the marketing. Sell the same app a couple times to everyone with a different set of canned phrases instead of one generalized app that will let you select from a custom list of messages. Meh.

Or maybe, just maybe, Ethan's Dad is a marketing genius, and his marketing plans involve using his 12 year old son.

in that case, his Dad's pretty smart. not everyone predicted app stores 12 years ago

[TimHunter]

Pick up your clothes/games/tools, etc.
You need to shave/bathe/put on nicer clothes, etc.
Is that all you ever think about?
You forgot my birthday/the milk/to flush, etc.

"I want a divorce, and I am taking the kid(s) that didn't invent this stupid app. You can have Ethan."

Lazy!

[Impy the Impiuos Imp]

Now we need LazySlashdotter, with such gems as:

"Minus 1 - Troll!"

"Minus 1 - I disagree!"

"Ok, mom. I'll put the wash in the drier right after this raid is over!"

"No, mom. My school doesn't have any dances scheduled this year."

"No, mom. My college doesn't have any dances scheduled this year."

"Ok, mom. I will try OKCupid right after this raid is over."

"Thanks for bringing me my AARP application, which they mail to people at age 50. You really didn't need to come down all these stairs into the basement at your age."

"Ethan said he is having a hard time coming up with common phrases that a wife might say to her husband."

Let me get you started, kiddo:

1. No i don't want to have sex tonight
2. No i won't be cooking dinner tonight
3. No I don't want to have sex tonight
4. We are out of food, seriously there is nothing to eat [play this automatically any time user is near a refrigerator]
5. for the last time, no we aren't having sex tonight so shut up already!

AC because there *is* a snowballs chance in hell my wife might accidentally google and find this...

this is prodigy?

[shadowrat]

so this is considered the mozart level of app making? this app will be cherished centuries later?

He's only 12

[scarboni888]

And he understands the mind-numbing monotony of some peoples' repetitive need for affirmation of their existence.

Way to go Ethan!
