Only with a mind like mine...

OK, being a single, not so rich Mom, you gotta do what you gotta do.

So, after taking my baby (I know,she is almost 9) to the dentist last week, I was informed of all the problems that sucking your thumb can cause. I was shocked.
Naturally, upon arriving home, I immediately got on this computer and looked up an "anti thumb sucking device". This was what was pulled up. (The pretty one.) Hereafter referred to as "Theirs". It looked effective, a very good idea indeed. However, not knowing if a dentist prescribed such a thing and knowing that I could afford it, my unique mind swung into action.

I didn't come up with anything other than a sock and a cable tie that night.

However, the next morning in the shower, (somehow, I do my best thinking in there) I came up with an idea based on that collar thing that they put on a dog to keep him from licking an incision or something. Sorta looks like a satellite dish.

My first thought was a regular medicine bottle. It would have worked, but,it was too hard to cut the end off. So, I just happened to take my last vitamin.

BINGO. Even wide at the end. I had my satellite dish.

Add some shoe string, a couple "O" rings, a little bit of chain and a quick link and WaLa!

You have my "anti thumb sucking device"!

Yes, it isn't as pretty. It's a bit crude. No, it don't hurt her. It is actually comfortable she says. Better than the sock and cable tie! (yeah, I know. That was a bit crude too) But, most importantly, it works.

Ingenuity strikes and prevails!!

And it didn't cost anything. Had all the stuff here.

That's all for now!

I'll be improving the design and taking orders in the future!

Until next time...

Just me
