The Scene: The front steps of the
NotSoSoccerMom Corporate Offices
Allie Grace, 11: "Mom, are you coming to my press conference? Can I borrow your microphone? How do you spell ‘conference'? Do you know how to get ahold of Matt Lauer? Mom, remember the time I..."
NotSoSoccerMom: "Why are you holding a press conference? Who kind of a hair-brain holds a press conference on their front steps?" Mutters..."Stole my idea... little copycat. I was going to hold a press conference here later about Lancome's new mascara & Cinco De Mayo Awareness."
Allie Grace: "Remember the time I vowed I'd NEVER ask for anything ever again if you got me that Rainbow Brite backpack? Well, I'm still gonna ask you for stuff... What's for dinner? Can Jane come over? But, hey LOOK at this cool new backpack. It's called an ISafe bag. Are you coming to my press conference about it?"
NotSoSoccerMom: "It's like an Ipod or an Ipad or an ITouch? Plays music, has a bunch of buttons & features I don't intend to use since I never read the directions?"
Allie Grace: "Mommm-uh, seriously! This is a patented bag with a built-in alarm. You pull this cord here if you are bullied or scared. It's like having a bodyguard with you all the time. The alarm goes off to scare away predators. Is that like a predicate? What IS for dinner? Anyway, the ISafe bags are all over the news."
Pulls cord. Beeping noise begins. Baby Patrick scatters upstairs. Allie Grace re-inserts the cord to make beeping stop.
NotSoSoccerMom: "Hey that is neat! Let me see how that works."
Pulls cord again. Tigger the cat runs away. Samantha, age 8 saunters by. Allie Grace pulls the activation cord again and the panic alarm sounds some more. Samantha goes back inside.
Allie Grace: "Everyone should have one. Don't you think, Mom? Can we go for ice cream? How bout pizza for dinner? Can we go to Kohl's RIGHT NOw and get new school shoes? Can I make cookies? What time is Daddy getting home? If a cow and a buffalo mate, would it be called a cowalo? Have you seen my~?"
NotSoSoccerMom grabs the backpack and pulls the cord and hopes it also scares away pre-teens with too many questions....

Who's working for ya, people? The NotSoSoccerMom bringing you this very cool safety item, which, by the way, is at a nice price.

In the meantime, I'll keep doing my own market research on more non-traditional uses for it, like warding off messy toddlers and flatulent cats.
New hypothesis: if you add a recorder beat and maybe some maracas, you might be able to create an interesting Zumba routine?
