So remember that one episode of Sex and the City where Miranda finally figures out that the only thing that works to comfort her colicky baby (Maybe Brendan was the kid's name? Steve? No, that was the dad, I think) is one of those vibrating baby seats? Phew! As any mom can tell you, those things are indeed the most magical, wondrous inventions ever for a mom with tired arms and feet who just needs a break from bouncing that crying baby for five minutes -- one minute! Long enough to brush your teeth, for the love of god! Unfortunately for Miranda, the batteries on that baby seat burned out almost immediately. Fortunately for Samantha, who was babysitting at the time, she happened to have a vibrator handy (of course), and, well, she improvised an on-the-spot repair to remember. Two-month-old Benjamin's daddy had a similar idea. He just used a different, um, tool to get the job done.![]()
