Why Cry?


I admit it. I'm a crybaby. I cry at commercials, Disney films, at a restaurant that has mutton on the menu. Sometimes I have no idea why I cry. Of course I'll deny it and say it's allergies. But pity the fool who's with me and have to figure out why the hell I'm crying.

So needless to say, if I can't understand why I'm crying, how am I to know why my baby is crying??

Evidently there's this product out on the market that will translate your baby's cries. It's called WhyCry. Check it out.

This high-tech analyzer lets you know if baby is hungry, tired, stressed, bored, or is experiencing discomfort. It also claims to be 98% reliable.

I will give you my formula for 3 easy payments of $19.99 (free shipping!)
Hunger - Ask self "have I fed baby?"
Boredom - Ask self "have I played enough poker with baby?
Discomfort - Smell baby's butt
Sleepiness - Ask self "did I leave the tv on all night in baby's room, with evangelical programs blaring?"
Stress - ask baby "do you need to do some yoga or have a coctail with Mommy?"
I am a new groupie - you are BAD

Wow!! They need to make one of those for adults. I could use one for myself...is it work, a hallmark commercial, the crummy plumbing in my old house....or possibly the freaking long wait for my turn to travel...hmmmm... I wonder which one it is.

how long does the battery last? You'll need to recharge that more than your vibrator. Did I say that out loud?

Barbara hit the money.
BTW, you don't like your award that I gave you? You're a real pill.

Every husband and boyfriend on the face of the Earth should own one of these!

Me? I'm going to print out Barbara's formula and post it to the nursery wall. Check is in the mail.

Oprah had a guest on her show saying you can recognize what a baby wants by the tone/type of cry. It probably works on the same principle. Or not.

ok, how do they KNOW it's 98% accurate?

interview the baby afterward and find out if it was right?

verrrry tricky.

Jocelyn said...

Yep, what Chou-Chou said...how the heck do they know that it is accurate???:-)

Kelli said...

Wow- they have come up with everything. And, thanks to you, I know about it! No need for infomercials. You should really get a cut of the profits for some of these gadgets!

Oh my that is hysterical once again, as is barabara's comment.

That thing is totally ridiculous!

Cavatica said...

Heh. Sorry, I have nothing more.

Good thing they don't have these for adults. They'd have different ones like, "Just dropped $4k at the blackjack table and have no money to get home" cry, "I can't believe I ate the whole box of donuts" cry, and the one that would be ringing off the hook for me: the "I just ran out of wine and the liquor store is closed" cry.
