“‹Surprisingly Awkward Stuffed Animal Anatomy
He skidded up to me, shouting, “Daddy, look what I got!” Holding a tiny stuffed animal aloft for me to behold, he beamed with the triumphant pride kids radiate about a new possession. “Oh, very cute! A little hedgehog.” I said, playing my parental role: identifying the prize correctly and nodding with the appropriate amount […]
Can’t Touch the Sand – THE MOVIE?
We all played some form of this game as kids. It was the sand, the ground, the linoleum: “Can’t touch the _____” tag, AKA “The ____ is lava.” I got more injuries playing this crazy game than all of my sports experiences combined. Just imagine what it would be like if this game became a […]
The Low Fashion of Child Couture (5 Comics)
Saying fashion changes when you have kids is like saying it’s gotten a bit breezy when you’re caught in a Force-12 hurricane. Matching outfit?

Horror Movies for Toddlers (Bad Product Idea #19)

Greg Pembroke created Reasons My Son Is Crying, a bitterly hilarious collection of the strange […]

My Wife Just Said… #257
With so much to do as parents, some things filed in the “essential” category can get abruptly jammed into the “expendables” folder. We try to multitask, maximize and economize the crap-ton we have to do, AND get our kids to do. Sure, it’d be nice of parents didn’t have to have their kids put their […]
The Future Is Now: French Fry Vending Machine!
Lots of us complain endlessly about the state of the world. There are so many things, today, that make absolutely no sense. Will my kids ever sleep through the night?
