4-Year-Old Mayor Is the Cutest Politician You Will Ever See

Drew Weisholtz — Tue, 14 May 2013 14:15:35 +0000

Experience isn’t always the most important qualification for a politician. Sometimes dimples work just fine. The mayor of teeny, tiny Dorset, Minnesota (population 22) is a four-year-old boy named Robert “Bobbie” Tufts. We don’t know if his senior advisor is Rubber Duckie or if he pledged naptime for all citizens, but Bobbie won the coveted [...]

Watch This Father's Greatest Achievement

Kyle Dowling — Thu, 21 Feb 2013 18:11:44 +0000

Who's ready for 52 seconds of cute? Good, then watch on.

In this recent video -- featuring a father duetting with his daughter to the popular 'Mahna Mahna' tune from 'The Muppets' -- YouTube user Jesse Teeters claims this to be his greatest achievement in the two-and-a-half years he's been a parent. What that says about his fathering skills, we don't know, but our guess is that the guy is being hyperbolic... we hope.

Toddler Helps Dad Teach You the Fundamentals of Fighting

Emerald Catron — Mon, 28 Jan 2013 17:23:08 +0000

If you can get past the initial nose picking in this video, you’re in for a pretty good time. We don’t think that repeatedly karate chopping the back of someone’s hand is necessarily the best way to disarm a person with a knife, but it’s funny because it’s a baby who is dressed up like [...]

Watch This Kid's Priceless Reaction to His Christmas Present

Kyle Dowling — Fri, 28 Dec 2012 18:32:58 +0000

The holiday season is usually a momentous time for laughs, cheers and smiles, but this kid's reaction, while still happy, was a little different. He might not have been too psyched over that initial gift, appearing a bit apathetic, but the second one surely got to him, resulting in a response no one expected -- especially the parents.

Best Places to Hide Presents

Everyone has a nosy spouse or a suspicious kid. No matter what you do, these crafty kin folk always seem to be able to guess where you’ve hidden their presents. It’s horrible to go through all the trouble of finding them the perfect gift only to have them always seem to be able to ruin it. Well, we’v

Joy Larson — Wed, 12 Dec 2012 05:56:53 +0000

If you’ve ever been awoke by a crying child saying, “I can’t stop puking in my bed.” Or if you’ve ever had puke in your hair, poop on your white shirt or have daydreamed about going on a vacation where all you do is sleep, then you are probably a parent. So, you may be [...]

Check Out the Parent Rap

Joy Larson — Fri, 30 Nov 2012 02:35:29 +0000

So, today I was surfing my Facebook page, and two of my friends had posted this video. It is pretty funny, if you’re a parent. It’s partially funny because everything this mom and dad sing about is true. The other reason it’s funny is because it’s two scrawny 30 year old white people rapping. They [...]

5 Things to Help Make This School Year Easier for Parents and Students

Joy Larson — Thu, 30 Aug 2012 00:30:44 +0000

My children had never had problems doing their homework before last year of course, that could be because they didn’t really have any until then. My oldest son began a new school year and seemed to be breezing through the first few weeks. He never seemed to have any homework, and when asked, always [...]

It’s the time of year that parents dread and kids love. Yep, summer is almost here. I’m not one of those people who throws a party for every little accomplishment or milestone my kids pass. Not to say that I’m not proud of my kids or don’t want to, it’s just that that takes way [...]
