I Want A Pink Thingamajig

So I found out about this new toy website today. You know, the kind of toys you don’t want your kid to find on Sunday morning when he gets up before you cuz you’re sleeping in and don’t want him to ask what it is but when he does you certaintly don’t want daddy to tell him it’s mommy’s as a total cop out so mommy then has to explain that it’s something for grownups and DON’T TOUCH IT!!

Anyway. So I pulled up this website on the iPhone on the way home from work. Well, you know how when you go to Safari the next time and the last site you viewed comes up? At dinner I was asked to look up something on the Internet and brought up Safari on the phone while father-in-law looked over my shoulder.

There was this website zoomed in on the last product I was checking out in all its glorious beauty.

I couldn’t get off that page fast enough. I’m hoping it looked to him like a pink USB thumb drive.

UPDATE: This is the image that was seen. NSFW you have been warned. (I was less concerned about the pink thing and more about the two rosebud-topped things it’s nestled between.)

I was SUPER paranoid about this exact scenario when I first got my iPhone. Before all the novelty had worn off of the product EVERYONE wanted to play with it. Every time a client would ask to touch it I would start sweating wondering what the last site was I’d visited in mobile Safari and would they see it…

Someone should write an iPhone app. called “Panic Button” that will reset/clear stuff like that before you hand it over to innocent bystanders.

What? I don’t get it. Can you be more specific about this Thingamajig? What exactly was it?

I know as a father my first thought would be, “Nice job trapping a tiger, son.” :-)

Well… What was the site and product. You need to give us the full picture.

My wife and I had a huge group of people over to help us move, about 10 years ago. We did not have kids at the time, so we were a lot less concerned about where the toys end up at the end of the night. My father-in-law lifted up the box spring to carry it out to the truck and surprise… My wife about died. :-)
