I know your interest in Valentine’s Day extends only as far as the heart-shaped candies. But Valentine’s Day is big business in this house. True love pays the bills. Summer camp is sponsored by sunsets. Your college fund is built upon witty banter and meet-cutes. I’m aware that my career as a romance novelist baffles you. After all, you recently complained about an author who ruined your perfectly good fantasy novel by putting a romance in it....

The Black Widow star first asked if Clarkson was referring to the actual heroes, or the actors who portrayed them and Clarkson clarified she meant the actors because she felt the hero answer was too obvious. “Oh my gosh. I knew you were gonna go with Captain America — who doesn’t go with Captain America?” Clarkson asked. “So who are you gonna pick in real life?” Once she understood the assignment, Johannson quickly chose Samuel L....

It’s Like a Penis, but Not Like a Penis Much like a penis, the clitoris forms in the womb about 8 to 13 weeks into gestation. There’s a clitoral glans, a hood, and a shaft that can become erect and secrete smegma, just like a penis. But for all the parallels between male and female sex organs, there are important distinctions as well. One notable difference between clitoris and the penis is the the clitoris plays no reproductive role at all, and really is just for fun....

Sesame Workshop and Discovery Education are looking to strengthen the educational resources for kids from pre-kindergarten through grade two. The new channel will feature a variety of resources that include activities, interactive games, educational resources, video content, lesson plans, and partnership supports for families. The new resources are being developed to act as an educational bridge designed to address new and continuing learning gaps associated with the interruption of school over the past few years....

But that doesn’t mean it’s not worth fighting the noble fight for a few extra minutes or maybe — if fates align — an extra hour. Studies suggest that you’re a more dangerous driver when you’re sleepy, that even one extra hour of sleep would improve your child’s performance in school, and that a perpetually unrested workforce costs the United States economy billions of dollars each year. Here’s the pro-sleep data for those looking to make the case for the snooze button....

It’s frustrating to hear your partner complain about their job, because you feel for them and want to help them. But also because listening to anyone gripe about work for extended periods of time is worse than watching Kevin Can’t Wait for 12 hours straight. You want to be of use, but all you feel useful for is nodding like a Bobblehead and repeating, “That sucks” and “I’m sorry” until your sound chip fritzes out....

Several past studies have focused on untangling the relationship between sleep and the lunar cycle with varying results. One discovery published earlier this year showed that people often have trouble falling asleep or sleeping through the night in the days leading up to a full moon. “I thought — hm, this is kind of interesting,” says Christian Benedict, a professor of neuroscience at Uppsala University in Sweden of this previous study....

The other day me and my three-year-old were fighting over a juice box. He wanted juice and he’d already had enough that day. So he was melting down and screaming at me and I was getting aggravated. But then he threw a punch and it hit me right in the nuts. It wasn’t that hard or anything, but it was hard enough to hurt, and I was so surprised and angry that I grabbed him by the shoulders really hard and yelled “No!...

“It honestly makes so small of a difference you cannot measure it when it comes to length or girth,” Dr. Jamin Brahmbhatt, a Florida-based urologist, told Fatherly. Penises (and the rest of the body) swell in the summer, thanks to fluid accumulation, known as edema. The penis is essentially filled with salt and water, but the summer heat causes water to run off. And no one likes a dry, salty penis, so the body sends water back to the penis....

Number of Players A typical baseball team requires nine players on the field at all times, with subs to serve as backups or relief pitchers. Major League Baseball rosters include 25 players while Little League squads have between 12 and 15 kids in the dugout. Tee ball, on the other hand, needs way less. Little League’s official rules recommend that teams only put 6 to 10 players on each team. This ensures each player gets plenty of at-bats ⏤ as well as, more time in the field ⏤ and games are shorter....

The EV6 is a crossover with plenty of room for a family of four, though its performance and fastback silhouette make it just as impressive on a windy road or a night on the town as it is sitting in a carpool line. The GT-Line comes with some sportier styling, tinted windows, and upgrades like electric front seat adjustment and wireless phone charging. It’s also available with all-wheel drive, though it does trim the range down from 310 miles to 274 miles on a full charge....

Former NFL receiver turned broadcaster Michael Irvin was just as confused as everyone else. The difference is, he has Hopkins’s phone number and, as a Hall of Famer and three-time Super Bowl champion, his respect. So Irvin dialed up the four-time Pro Bowler to find out what the hell happened. As it turns out, agreeing to such a paltry return in the trade was a step O’Brien all but forced himself to make....

This is my reward for my false humility. When other parents complained, I’d comfort them with a practiced speech about how all kids are different and how we, as parents, just need the patience to find the timing and method that works for them. Behind the comfort, though, I was judging. Judging hard. For our first three kids, the three-day method worked like a dream. Not always on the first attempt, mind you — but if we took a break for a few weeks and then made another run at it, it would work....

Coloring pages won’t spark as much creativity as making art from scratch, which requires kids to imagine something totally new, but they do provide a jumping-off point for kids to use their imaginations and develop their fine motor skills as they select which colors go where and practice staying (or, hopefully, not staying) within the lines. Whether you need coloring pages for little kids or big kids, Disney coloring pages, back-to-school coloring pages, or anything in between, these are the best the internet has to offer....

Chances are you do, too. Whether it’s correcting someone in a conversation, sharing personal information with an outside, or saying “yes” when the other parent says no, couples undermine each other all the time. Done regularly, it can chip away at the foundation of a relationship and lead to resentment or worse. So, how can you avoid falling into this very common trap? Communication is key. As is having a constant understanding of how your partner might feel about your actions....
