A punch from Portable Dad helps kids break bad habits
The Associated Press
LENEXA — Branden Burdick the invention might not mow the lawn, take out the trash or give a kid the keys to the car, but it has a couple of other tricks that make it The Portable Dad.
"When you pull the string, a boxing glove punches you in the face, and when you release it, a boot kicks you" in the rear, said Branden, 13, of Lenexa.
The invention, worn on one's back, is meant to help children break bad habits. Branden, an eight-grader, wore a plastic device last winter for science class.
The Portable Dad impressed Paul Osgood, Branden's science teacher, who felt it should be shared with the rest of the world. Osgood alerted
"The Dr. Fad Show," a nationally syndicated children's television program.
Last week, Branden and The Portable Dad traveled to Philadelphia to appear on the show and compete with other inventors.
"There was stuff like an air-conditioned hat, a remote-controlled food server," jewelry made out of bottle caps," Branden said.
None could top The Portable Dad. Branden won the show's grand prize, a weekend trip for two to EPCOT Center at Walt Disney World in Florida.
Branden said he didn't fancy him
self an inventor, was not stipulated
in the firm's contracts.
"I'm working on a remote-control version," he said.
More people have survived cancer than now live in the City of Los Angeles.
