Babble

My Uncles used to give me a hard time about my Ken doll not being anatomically correct. They should have seen this crap here. Watch this video:   Yes. You give him water, then he gestures to his crotch, and yells "Mama, wee wee!" Then he has a trap door to his junk and he (with all his foreskin glory) can even pee ...

You know how preschool aged kids get really obsessive about things? Yeah, me too. I've got two three year olds, and sometimes I think if I hear one more thing about what my daughter's baby doll does or does not want to do or listen to my son yell YO GABBA GABBA one more time I am going to lose my mind. One time a four year old buddy of ...

Apparently a lot of you have kids going back to school already. I wish my kids went back to school in August. We don't start back to preschool until the middle of September. September! Three whole weeks away. How am I supposed to get any blogging done this way? Shash at Crazed Parent is spending her free time doing memes. Not Just a Working ...

I was always a firm believer in the nurture side of the nature vs. nurture argument. I say I was because I fully subscribed to that theory until I had boy/girl twins.  Sure, boys like baby dolls and girls like trucks too, but my daughter feeds her baby dolls and my son throws his down the stairs. Ian drives around his trucks and makes loud ...

Geez. Did you think your principal was mean? He may have been strict, but at least he wasn't stealing your milk money, unless you live in Queens and your principal was Shango Blake. Because if you do live there and he was your principal, he was doing just that. The strangest part is that it would appear that he wasn't taking the money for ...

If you are like me (read here: short term memory loss due to children) and you have trouble remembering which kid you gave what medicine to on which day I've got a great trick for you. Parent Hacks comes through once again with the plan. Kristi uses Sharpies (I love Sharpies. They are good for everything) and writes right on the bottle. She ...

We all have those moments in parenting where a really young child misunderstands us. I dealt with this myself this week when I had to convince my three year old son that he didn't need to wear a bear costume to be a ring bearer. Over at Wiping Up Snot, a little scratched CD brings a whole new interpretation to Vivaldi's Four ...

HGH. The Human Growth Hormone. It is infamous for being used to bolster athletes size and the reason that all the green parents think I should buy organic milk from Trader Joes. Here is a new use: Parents are giving their kids HGH so that they aren't so short. We all know that short people got no reason, so maybe this is a good idea. Okay, ...

After the Columbine massacre, two Boston Dads put their heads together and decided that the best way to protect their children was a bullet-proof backpack. The call them My Child's Pack. Now, I don't know exactly how dangerous the Boston public schools are, not do I know the odds of getting shot in the back as opposed to getting shot ...

You know how when you found out you were pregnant the first thing you did (right after you told all of your friends, then your husband, then your parents, then the internet) was think back to how much you drank last week. Or panicked about smoking that cigarette in the bar last weekend, or the other thing you may or may not have inhaled? Or you ...
