That’s right kids, no need to wait until you outgrow those diapers to get a cell phone of your very own. Just ask Dad for the new Zeki cell phone marketed for toddlers. YoungToys of Korea is launching a cell phone marketed down-market, as they like to say. You know, for the younger set.

This is not a toy or walkie talkie dressed up to look like a cell phone (although it has short range walkie-talkie capabilities), it’s a real phone with more functionality than my grown up version.

Features include; audio/video recording, MP3 playback, alarm clocks, downloadable games, and even text messages.

Picture Mom’s cell phone rings;

Mom, “Hello”

Toddler, “Mummy…”

Mom, “Yes?”

Toddler, “I went poo-poo.”

Mom, “Good for you. Baby.”

Toddler, “Mummy…”

Mom, “Yes?”

Toddler, “I need toilet paper…”

Mom, “Where are you, Honey?”

Toddler, “In the bathroom upstairs…”

Mom, “Baby, what did I tell you about using Mommy’s minutes?”

Toddler, “Sorry…” (beat) “Mommy?”

Mom, “Yes?”

Toddler, “I still need toilet paper.”
