Most of the times when I played with miniature vehicles and action figures as a kid (and as an adult if we’re being honest), I’d be sort of above it all, like a looming god of make-believe, or at least like a third-person view in a video game. Sometimes, though, I got down there. Hugging […]
I’ll admit that this isn’t necessarily “a little kid’s” chart, and that some of us adults still react to some bugs cartoonishly, levitating dramatically before sprinting away in a cloud of smoke, ready to set everything on fire. We all have to agree that some bugs are creepier than others, in our own opinions. […]
Unlike all other parenting styles, Know-It-All Parenting isn’t actually a method for raising children. It’s for educating other parents on how they’re doing it oh so WRONG. Amazingly all that’s required for Know-It-All Parenting is the ability to speak or type. Another singularly unique advantage is that you don’t need to have a child of […]
When someone says “parenting is stressful,” you almost want to construct a big sign on a stick that says “DUH!!!” and hit them over the head with it. Yeah, water is wet; sugar is sweet; parenting is stressful. WHACK! By default, it’s literally our job to worry and obsess about our kids’ well-being. So it […]

After we saw The Phantom Menace, I didn’t understand his lack of excitement to watch the next movie. […]
Brought to you by responsibility.org for their TalkEarly campaign. In the past, animated films and shows were, um… rather boozy. A review of every G-rated movie created from the 30s up to 2000 said 47% showed alcohol consumption, and in that same period about 9% percent of all cartoons did as well. That’s a LOT […]
With all the sweet family movies and cheery holiday music, the overall G-rated, brightly-colored wonderful time of the year can get to be a bit much. You can’t eat dessert for breakfast, lunch and dinner and expect to live long. Take a break from the marshmallowy wonderland and sink your teeth into these bitter, darker-toned […]
