I know, I know, it sounds bad. But then again, does it? I mean we all hear the stories about those android babysitters that end up putting control chips in your kid unbeknownst to you. Or if you go organic and the nanny just disappears. Even worse - you left them with an Aunt that takes them to an adult-rated virtual reality that ends with them asking you if they can get a shifting tattoo on their neck.

With these dubious options is it really such a surprise someone has invented a babysitting facility that freezes your kid while you go out? Is it really a wonder these facilities have spread out like mushrooms throughout the country?

I know some of you are thinking, freezing your kids, just so you can go out to a virtual movie or just sit on the sofa and drink a cup of tea in utter silence. But I also know some of you are asking, “Where is the closest facility?”

Is it an extreme solution, perhaps? On the other hand, no coming home with unwanted tattoos, no babysitter slaps, or suicidal robots. No need to crank up the food synthesizer. No sticking them in a virtual reality, where you’re not completely certain about the ad content.

Just a quick cold nap and they behave very well when they come out, ready to eat any dinner you serve.

We love them, we do! But sometimes we need to freeze them, just for a little bit.
