Not a 'Belieber' but your kid is? Options for tonight's Justin Bieber concert

The Associated Press

Teen music sensation and hairstyle-trendsetter Justin Bieber will be singing in a sold-out Tacoma Dome on Tuesday night. That means something like 23,000 kids* will be dropped off by parents looking to while away a few hours.

Enter the LeMay – America’s Car Museum(ACM) and its “Parental Daycare.”

“Parents,” the museum’s press release begins, “if you’re looking for an escape from 20,000-plus kids singing ‘Baby, baby, baby…ohhh’ … ACM will host ‘Parental Daycare,’ an oasis for moms and dads whose children are across the street ...”

Wait … who’s Justin Bieber?

Tacoma News Tribune wraps up the Bieber like this:

Since the self-taught singer from Stratford, Ontario, was first seen on YouTube in 2007, he’s made more fans (and more money) than seems possible, even for a teenybopper in today’s click-and-like world. He won five 2012 Teen Choice Awards, has sold more than 15 million albums, has more than 28.5 million Twitter followers, was named the third most powerful celebrity in the world by Forbes magazine, and is worth more than $100 million, all thanks to a pretty face, some creative hairstyles and ber-popular songs such as “Baby,” “Boyfriend” and “As Long As You Love Me.”
