They cautiously study and probe some new strange thing. A ladybug marches across a branch with giant, observing eyes glued to it. They watch some unfamiliar activity from the sidelines. A mob of other kids is sized up with sideways glances as they run around randomly with a ball. Watching your kid, as they push […]
I was very mediocre at science growing up. I had the odd chemistry set. I enjoyed physics, more than almost any other field. I was just not a great junior scientist. But I had great respect for the endeavor. I wanted to know the answers to life’s questions. It seemed as though a combination of […]
Our readers are awesome. These are THEIR stories. Who needs Photoshopped magazine covers or Hollywood’s gratuitous scenes of hard-bodied celebrities who inexplicably need to shed clothing to give you crippling insecurity about your body and physical appearance when you’re a parent. You have a live-in demotivational speaker with absolutely zero percent filter and 100% oversharativeness: […]

We mark lines on the doorjambs of life, to record how far they’ve come and things yet to be done. As a former skateboarder, I can say unequivocally that this dad’s video of his son […]
