Wonder if these will work for grandpa?

They probably chose twitter just to be able to call it "tweetpee". WhatsappPee just doesn't sound all that marketable.

If they did it on Facebook messenger like "FacePee" one day or another the world knows every babies pee history and not to mention the constant surveillance of the baby's diaper by Facebook to train it's AI for predicting when the baby is about to pee.
