Dad Gives Baby His iPhone As A Teether – Why?

Meet Oliver. He’s so cute! He likes to chew things … shoes, bottle caps, books, the coffee table. You name it, he’ll chew it. Now you gotta give Oliver a break … he’s only six months old and like most rugrats, a human vacuum cleaner. If anything is within Oliver’s reach, it goes in the mouth.

Lately, Oliver has this strange fascination with Apple. Seems he’s been nabbing his dad’s iPhone, sticking it in his piehole and gnawing away. Oh you should see it … little Oliver, sucking away on the 3GS … he’s so cute! But rather than discourage Oliver from potentially jacking up a $300 cell phone (how could you! he’s so cute!), daddy lets him have at it.

But daddy is a geek … and like most geeks, has a brilliant mind. No way was daddy going to let his precious Oliver chomp away at the iPhone … it just looks, well, funny (but a good kind of funny … he’s so cute!). So rather than let Oliver eat his plain old iPhone, daddy built the iTeether app, so Oliver could destroy his iPhone in style (but who cares – he’s so cute!).

Ha! You thought we were shitting. NO! Perhaps the most inept and self-absorbed application to date. And here’s what you get with iTeether … count ‘em, four pictures of teethers … frog, man, star and ring … all of which do absolutely nothing, just pictures. Brilliant! Oliver looks much better now teething on the iPhone with a picture of a teether. Yeah not funny looking at all.

Frog, man, star and ring … come on dude, at least give Oliver something interesting to chew on … say like Epic Boobs.

    I had one of these from iFrogz, for an iPod classic… I wish they had one for an iPod touch or iPhone!

  • Actually that is a great idea and suprised there is nothing available for
    the iPhone. Instead of purchasing some crappy “kid proof” MP3 player from
    Fisher Price (
    http://www.amazon.com/Fisher-Price-Tough-Story-… ), an
    iPhone casing would be kick ass.

  • WTH! my iphone has been in places you can't imagine and i will not give my iphone to my child as a teether.

  • LoL !

  • Agreed … we didn't even cover the “grody germ” aspects of this practice.
