Would anyone be intrested in...

[Dutchmanaz]

I recently spent some time at my parent's place helping them out getting things repaired that they are not physically able to do. Dad is 80, Mom is 78 and I was happy to do what I could to make their lives a bit easier.
Anyway, Mom has always been one to want the last word in any discussion, and as she ages, it's even more apparent. I said to her many times that I needed to buy her a post to argue with, and that's my question.
Would anyone here be willing/able to create such a thing? I'm thinking the size of the souvenir bats you can buy at a baseball game with something light-hearted about here's your argument or some such words. Ideally, it would have 4 flat spaces near the top, each with a likeness of one of her kids (I have 3 sisters), so whoever she's arguing with could hand that stick/post to her. I think it would really get her goat, but she'd smile every time.

Willing to pay of course and happy to discuss ideas. Maybe I'm a nut job, but I think this could be widely sold, as we all know someone like this.

5 sided would be best, so I can include Dad

Epic as in an epically bad idea? I'm known for what my mother says "boneheaded ideas".

No I think it's awesome. I'd give it a shot but I just built this garage, have a storeroom to empty into it.
Good luck with your great idea. Let us know what happens.

Make it the right size, so she can beat you beat you with it, . just like. In your childhood.'

Hahahahaha! that's funny!

Simpler way to go would be 2 ping pong paddles with one picture on each of the 4 sides. With that, you could use much larger pictures.

Nothing like handing an angry person a potential weapon!!

You’re right. Baseball bat or paddle… let’s go with something made of foam.

Just let her argue with Alexa..

Ok...instead of engraving a picture, would burning (guessing here, I've no idea) a name into each of the 5 sides make it easier? Anyone here interested? I've not the skills nor the tools to make something like this, and again, I'm happy to fund this if it doesn't get too far out of hand.

I would think someone could 3D print what you are looking for. Good luck.

I'm looking for something lighthearted and something that could be a keepsake as well. Unsure how much time any of us have left, but mom, pushing 80, likely has less than me or her kids. I'm looking for something with actual thought & craftsmanship in the final product - not trashy, not antagonizing, but a humorous and gentle reminder that she loves to argue any point or topic. I want this to be a one of a kind thing for Mom, hence me not going to Etsy, and all that sort of thing.
