Hate all the form filling that comes with being a full-fledged adult? Well, depressingly, the paper trail starts as early as daycare, with one establishment requiring appraisal forms of its clients. In this case, 11-month-old Emma.
According to an article in Metro, Emma's father had a little too much fun answering the daycare's questions. His brilliant responses on his daughter's behalf are reminiscent of the Honest Toddler.
Seriously, if you have the temerity to ask a toddler what her goals and interests are, then you totally have it coming.
Check out the full questionnaire. Prepare to laugh and share.
Anything you care to add to that list?
If anyone deserves to wear that T-shirt, it's Mariah Grove, who had a bit more to contend with during a recent Indianapolis blizzard than an annoying power cut. Stranded at home when her contractions began in the middle of the night, Grove spoke to her mother and midwife before conceding that she would have to go it alone.
"Once the water broke and I realized this was it, all fear went away," Grove said in an article in the Huffington Post. "I realized it wasn't going to help me and that we would be a team and do this together. And we did it."
Little Evangeline Beatrix Grove, better known as Evie, arrived two weeks ahead of schedule, healthy and well despite her intrepid entry.
But expectant moms needn't panic—emergency home births, like Grove's, happen in fewer than one percent of cases, claims BabyCenter.com.
So what was Grove's secret weapon during solo birthing? Stay calm.
"Focus on your baby and how soon you will get to meet her," was her advice to moms-to-be facing a similar fate. "Talk to your baby and work as a team. And most importantly, don't let yourself entertain even one negative thought. Our bodies were made to do this and it's the most natural thing ever." Trooper!
Read another crazy birth story. You'll never look at chip clips the same way again.
Did you have a speedy or unexpected delivery? Spill it.
Tech has come so far, so fast, hasn't it? Where we used to be dazzled with our VCRs and microwave ovens, these days our gadgets are becoming increasingly personal—and ridiculous. And what good are they if they don't help us achieve some private nirvana?
Ladies, I present to you a pair of undies that will do for you what Victoria Secret never could. According to an article in the Huffington Post, the sex toy company OhMiBod has designed an "embeddable vibrator that fits snuggly into underwear."
Of course, this has been done before, but not by Bluetooth. These frilly numbers will allow your partner—real or virtual—to rock your world via an app on their smartphone.
A certain scene from Fifty Shades the book springs to mind. (Let's maybe agree not to wear these when you are scheduled to visit the in-laws, unless you like to live on the wild side, whereby your very own Mr. Grey can control the speed and intensity of your good vibrations and look like he's innocently firing off a quick text.)
The drawback? For now, your "controller" has to be within a set range—unfortunate news for long-distance romances.
No word yet as to cost, but the knickers guaranteed to get you in a twist will likely be on the market within the year.
