A mom was shocked after purchasing a cute children toy meant for her baby turned out to be the opposite of what she thought.
The new mom simply identified as Boo took to TikTok (@_chaos_goblin_) to express her disbelief that the Fisher Price’s “2-in-1 Like a Boss Activity Center toy she recently purchased preps young children to become office workers.
The toy, which looked like a baby’s cubicle had a computer along with some tactile buttons and a rolling, ribbed device like “mouse”.
As seen in the TikTok video, the activity center had a transparent triangular container fixed with a bunch of small knick-knacks for affixing documentation to a board.
As the mom explores her baby’s new toy, she looks increasingly upset.
She discovers that the phone in the baby’s “office” rings randomly, even when no button is pressed—because modern society dictates that we are never really unavailable.
Boo further showed off a plastic cube that has a piece of white cloth crammed into it to represent a box of “tissues for when you need to cry because it’s your first f—— cubicle,” she said, criticizing the Fisher-Price product.
Then, she hears another song about working from home but wishing to be on vacation. Instead of just using baby’s “imagination,” per the song, the mom sings her own tune of, “indoctrination.”
The “last button” she presses also sounds like a phone call ringing, and a child pops up over the speaker, sighing, and they ask, “Is it 5 o’clock yet?
Boo’s video generated several reactions from netizens who found the situation funny.
These are some of the comments that trailed the video, “Someone at Fischer Price literally just looked around them and built a toy.”
Another wrote, “when jobs are ‘entry level’ but require 20 years experience.
“When gen z is refusing corporate life so they’re trying to get gen alpha early”, another
