TikTok user Sephanie Rae (@weirdochicken) nannies for three children, ages 6, 9, and 12. She keeps very busy shuttling all three kids to their various activities. This requires a lot of communication and coordination, much of it directly involving the kids.
Rae relates that the 9-year old recently proposed an ingenious idea for an invention:
She was like, ‘They need to come up with like a phone that’s for the whole family that stays in the house, so if you need any person in the house, you can call that phone,'” Rae relayed. “Like, it’s not just that one person’s number — it’s like the whole family.”
I can definitely see a market for this new, revolutionary type of phone service. Rae suggested an improvement to the child's idea: attaching the phone with a cord to a wall to ensure that it doesn't get lost.
I think that we've just read the origin story of the world's next billionaire.
