Pretty self-explanatory. These are pictures. Sometimes they’ve got words and sentences and all that jazz, but they’re mainly posts of visually-driven stuff.

Parenterms: “Excusplanation”

Posted under SNAPSHOTS

When something is stuck to a wall or scattered in a million pieces on the floor, or a blubbering sibling is rubbing their head, and you ask a kid what happened? Hah! You’ll hear barely anything (if anything at all) about the sequence of events. Instead, you’ll hear a lot about the philosophical nature of […]



It’s Not Our Fault, Babies Are Just So Squooshable

Posted under SNAPSHOTS

We can all agree that babies are obscenely cute and squooshy, like little peach-fuzzed plush dolls filled with mini marshmallows, warm unicorn burps and dreams come true. It can be a lot easier to resist breathing than it is to resist squeezing and hugging and cuddling the little pudgy blobs of joy. It’s totally their […]

Posted under SNAPSHOTS

Reading to your kids, you occasionally run across something in a children’s book that raises your adult eyebrows.

18 Images of Adults as Kids

Posted under SNAPSHOTS

Kids can’t seem to wait to get all growed up, but a lot of “growed ups” seem to pine for the bright shiny object of yesteryouth, when a driver’s license and our own place doesn’t seem as captivating as a tricycle and pillow fort once did. There are grown children, however, that were able cheat […]



Kid or Dog: Which is harder to raise?

Posted under EXTERNAL USE ONLY, SNAPSHOTS

Comedy writer Rob Fee poses the question: which is harder to raise, a kid or a dog? Since we love making odd comparisons ourselves, between human offspring and other unlikely things (like Zombie vs. Baby), I had to put his question to you and present his eye-opening analysis. And also because it’s really friggin’ funny! […]

Wallet – Scrabble Scribble #15

Posted under SNAPSHOTS

Every kid picks up and makes up various symbols of adulthood. Things that say they’re all growed-up.

Terrible things like holding hands when crossing a street, sit […]

Posted under EXTERNAL USE ONLY, SNAPSHOTS

Here’s a painfully funny and accurate before-and-after comparison by @robfee, showing how a person’s Saturday morning goes WITH and WITHOUT the wild, miniature humans we call kids. For those of you with kids, you’re probably laughing or simply rolling your eyes with really breathy been-there-done-that sighs. For those of you without kids, pay close attention […]
