- Wash Wash Away: A washing machine that not only does the laundry, but puts it away as well.
- SmartPod: A toy that plays a stunningly vast array of non-annoying children’s songs and that can sense when the child has left the room to turn itself off.
- Repel-a-Mess Flooring: A floor that repels crumbs (‘course that means that the crumbs might just suspend themselves in the air, but I’m sure a good engineer could take care of that too.)
- Scrub Free Cookware: A disposable pot/pan that works as well as the good kind, is collapsible for easy storage, and costs only a penny
- Insta Food-a-tron: A subscription food service that automatically replenishes your fridge anytime you run out of something without you having to ask
- Suck n’ Sort: A toy vacuum (no, no, not a pretend vacuum, a toy vacuum) that not only sucks up all the toys from the floor, but sorts them into the appropriate bins for storage
- Mommy Loves You: A mommy clone that can laugh heartily after hearing the same joke—that doesn’t even make sense—when told for the 150th time. The advanced model would also be capable of witty, yet sincere, commentary when asked by 3 small voices, simultaneously, to “watch me!”
- Bubbleport: A magic temperature-controlled bubble that allows you to transport the little ones on short errands without having to deal with shoes, snowpants, coats, car seats or having to back the van out of the garage with only 1” of clearance while 2 children cry in your ear and you panic that you’ll be late driving the three houses down to pick up the 3rd child from the bus stop in -10 degree weather.
- Love Bug Decking: A deck that repels scary bugs (most kinds) but encourages the good kind (limited to butterflies and ladybugs in our house, but the ultimate invention would be programmable for your particular love/hate relationship with creepy crawlies).
- Insta-Bath: a device shaped like the x-ray machines at the airport. You walk in dirty, and come out clean—no toys, tears, soap, or splashing required.

Inventions I would like to see (and would pay dearly for)

Truly, there's only one invention that I would love to see:
BusyBee: goes to my job and works full time - gives me all the money and doesn't require anything in return. It's kinda like a sugar daddy only less sleezy.
Oooo, I like that one MIQ! Let me know when you've got the kinks worked out, 'cause there are days when I would LOVE someone to do my job and not require anything in return!!
Suck 'n' Sort gets my vote. The crumb-free carpet reminds me of the old contest to produce a new scientific theory about cats, toast, and anti-gravity. If you don't know this theory, look here for a very useful diagram or here for a fun animated movie short to explain it.
MT, I love the cat theory. Somehow, though, I feel that just having a cat in the house won't necessarily keep the crumbs off the floor ('course having a DOG in the house would probably help the food-on-the-floor problem), and since the mere THOUGHT of having to keep one more thing alive in my house is daunting, I think I'll have to stick with the vac.
