Breast milk cheese

breast-milk-cheese

New York chef, restauranteur and new dad Daniel Angerer has created a cheese from his wife’s breast milk. Mommy’s Milk Cheese is currently available at Angerer’s Klee Brasserie, leaving local rag The Village Voice to snide: “we’re just grateful that he didn’t get any ideas about his wife’s placenta.”

They’re right, of course, placenta is for teddy bears and breast milk is far too sweet and thin to make a decent cheese. Amateurs.

BadParent: mousetrap light switch

mouse-trap-light-switch

Being as this is a mousetrap, the most painful finger punisher in the world, and would take your fingernail clean off, you’ve got to ask yourself one question: Do I really need to turn the light on? Well, do ya, punk?

“At first glance it looks like an ordinary table. But for the one who knows its secret, it can be transformed into a shelter where one can hide from scary sounds, ghosts or family members.”

Xylophone coffee table

You know, the best thing about this rainbow-coloured xylophone-shaped coffee table isn’t that it’s a rainbow-coloured xylophone-shaped coffee table. It’s a ‘playable’ rainbow-coloured xylophone-shaped coffee table.

BadParent: Whiskey Toothpaste

whiskey-toothpaste

There’s an old wives’ tale – and a constant in-joke between funny parents – about slipping a dash of booze into a baby’s bottle to aid (or force) sleep. Anyone stupid enough to take it literally obviously deserves to go directly to jail, without passing Go, Free Parking or even Old Kent Road. Whiskey Toothpaste, on the other hand, could be the answer. “Rinse with soda.” Genius.

Enter doormat

I quite want this. But I’d need an ‘Esc’ doormat for the back door. And probably a ‘Ctrl’ one for the playroom. Because we all know who’s really in charge.

Your child’s milk teeth as jewellery

milk-teeth-gold

Le Knockout is a range of jewellery by Kim Kovel: necklaces, earrings and the amazingly titled “charms of youth.” Why? Because each ‘charm’ is actually one of your childrens’ milk teeth, gilded so they don’t rot around your neck, presumably.

Prices start at around $300.
