5 new and unique uses for a baby monitor

When you think of baby monitors, it pretty much tops the list to think of a cute little human reasting in their crib while everyone tiptoes around trying not to wake them up. The baby monitor next to their crib can be the best sound you could hear if you are fresh and alert and ready for the baby to wake up and play with them. It can also be a not so wonderful thing to hear after you've only slept for about two hours at a time with a newborn.

These are some OTHER things that baby monitor COULD be useful for. Bear in mind, these may sometimes only be used by professionals and should never be attempted at home:

• Put a baby monitor in the bathroom and when your favorite shower singer winds up for a ballad, turn it on in the living room and amuse guests
• Use it (now this is a serious one) as a baby HORSE monitor. Put in the mare's foaling stall, so when the time comes, you can be at the ready
• Tape a baby monitor to the belly of a trapeze artist, so you can REALLY hear what they are saying up there (and I will bet they aren't singing...he flies through the air, with the greatest of ease...)
• Put a baby monitor in areas of your workplace that will catch the best gossip, so you will know everything that is going on (probably illegal and do so at your own risk)
• Put one in the garage, so you can hear what your husband is really saying about you to his friends while they are hanging out (probably also illegal)
• Strap a baby monitor to your school age child and hear what is really going on in the classroom (probably illegal, but it definitely SHOULDN'T be considering the schools in California that suspending a bunch of students for not honoring the day of silence for gays...and I am not kidding about that)

I am sure you can think of many clever uses, and if you think of one you should post it here, cause I am always up for trying out new ideas.
