When my daughter was just starting to scooch herself around the hardwood floors, I wish I'd have gotten a nickle for every time someone said "Put a swiffer under her and you'll never need to mop the floors!" I'd have had a dollar in nickles by the time she actually learned how to crawl.

Well, a Japanese company apparently took such folksy wisdom to heart and manufactured a suit for your little scoocher to wear across the floors, taking the idea that your child could be a valued part of your housecleaning team one step further.

I don't think this is entirely serious (a Japanese commercial for this product appeared at the beginning of a recent Jet music video for "Roll Over DJ"), but the Japanese are known for their Chindogu ("silly/useless inventions"). I wouldn't put it past them.
