Was that wrong? Should I not have done that?

Duct tape: is there anything it can't do?

Dog kennels are still cool right?

Way to expense to duct tape them each day, bungee cords are reusable and can be adapted to varying toddler size.

the hell it isnt

She forgot the Crazy Glue.

QUACK!

Everyone who has had to put a child down for a nap has wanted to do this. They haven't done it, but I understand.

Christ, I'm tired of people using duct tape.

Zip-ties, on the other hand, now that shows creativity!

it should be!

I always use scotch tape. It might not be as strong but it's harder to see.

This just in: duck tape is not meant for ducts. It doesn't provide an airtight seal or stand up to prolong heat. Duct tape is made with aluminum foil. Duck tape was meant for water proofing. Don't make Mike Holmes come over there.

As a parent of a 19 month old, aka, Tazmanian Devil, I approve.

If it didn't harm the child but simply secured it in place, similar to a crib or baby walker, what's the crime?

My sister used to be the neighborhood babysitter when her children were young. She had a pair of toy handcuffs that didn't even need a key that she used on the older kids that continually misbehaved (beat up on the other kids) She would put on the cuffs and make them sit on the stairs for a time out. The parents were aware of the punishment. Time outs lasted about 5 minutes.

"Duck" tape is a brand, not an actual kind of tape. They make duct, packaging, and other types of tape. Kind of like how Kleenex is a brand, not a specific type of tissue.

I prefer to call it the Baby-B tool. As in

Baby-B still
Baby-B quiet
Baby-B good

/yes, I'll have a window seat, thank you.

Not to mention that bungee cords won't strip off the skin or leave a sticky residue if/when you forget about it for a few hours.

Ah, crap. I better go get the razor knife to cut her loose. Or is that wrong too, Subby Rogers?

Just give it booze before nap time. Or does society frown on that too?

Maybe nap time just wasn't holding the child's attention?

No, they don't make duct tape (check their website, you won't find it). Duct tape is not a plastic tape it is a metal tape meant for airducts. Duck tape as a type of tape was invented for shipping during WWII to waterproof ammunitions. GI's came home and started the use it for everything movement. If you don't use the metal duct tape on your airducts you are wasting money. If you use duck tape on a gas dryer vent you will get carbon monoxide in your house.

I'm waiting for chloroform to be a standard option in baby wipes, ora-jel, or maybe a slow-release bladder inside the pacifier. Much cleaner than duct tape, and it doesn't require me to waste my delicious, yummy scotch on this little brat who's nowhere close to deserving it.

Something about clicking the smart/funny buttons on your post felt especially wrong as I was looking at your name.

What if the teacher did that in order to make it impossible for her to molest the child? Look at the alternatives, people!

Duct Tape is silver...

That might explain why it pulled all the feathers off and I had to stop using it, thanks helpful farker ! Now I hope someone can help me figure out why I am having so much trouble with my potholders and my monkeywrench.

You're referring to foil tape, not duct tape.

And here's Duck brand duct tape.

I don't know who Mike Holmes is, but he sounds kind of stupid if he doesn't know what duct tape is.

First line, first thing that popped up when I went to their site (new window)

scottydoesntknow: What about the wall?

What about the trunk of your car ?

Yeah, you have to use the right product.



Gaffers Tape FTW.

I don't know who Mike Holmes is, but he sounds kind of stupid if he doesn't know what duct tape is.

The obvious question is now is, which is better suited for keeping a child in a designated location?

pjbreeze: I always use scotch tape. It might not be as strong but it's harder to see.

Well, now they have transparent duct tape, so you can have both strength and stealth.

Teen Wolf Blitzer: I don't know who Mike Holmes is, but he sounds kind of stupid if he doesn't know what duct tape is.

Well that is sad. For your sake whoever built your house does know what duct tape really is. Check out Holmes on Homes. If you are willing to put a plastic tape on airducts than you are willing to use it to seal a hole in your car exhaust pipe. Stupidity is using the wrong stuff for the job and putting your family at risk. Duck tape must be playing to the "I think plastic tape will do anything group" and should be ashamed of themselves. Don't blame me.

REMARKABLE!
