Approaching potty training with a poop song or two will at least make the process slightly less painful. While a potty song by Elmo, Daniel Tiger, or Little Baby Bum (and a corresponding dance) won’t magically potty train kids overnight, they will start smiling about it, which is a good step. In that vein, here are some fabulous songs about going number two that we think are number one....
That’s nothing to balk at, because each year the flu kills tens of thousands of people and hospitalizes hundreds of thousands more. If levels of the flu and vaccination against it are in the normal range this year, 102,000 more people in the U.S. than average could land in the hospital because of the flu, according to a pre-print study that has not yet been peer-reviewed. That’s a 20 percent increase over the average number of hospitalizations per year....
Unfortunately, unlike other superheroes like Spiderman, there aren’t a ton of great options for younger kids. Most of the Batman shows and movies out there are incredibly graphic, violent, or terrifying. The villains Batman goes up against ( The Joker? Scarecrow? Two-Face?!) are the stuff nightmares. In other words, they don’t call him the “Dark Knight” for nothing. Batman stuff is scary and dark. And just in case you’re confused, there’s no way you should take a small child to the new Robert Pattinson version, The Batman....
Perhaps the funniest came from The Daily Show’s account, which portrayed classic Disney characters in absolutely horrific moments: One person who posited that Disney didn’t really care about the platform issues: Another who blamed Hannah Montana, a titular Disney classic, for the crash: RELATED: PASSWORD SHARING MIGHT BE CAUSING YOUR DISNEY+ OUTAGES Another person having an absolute breakdown because they couldn’t watch The Mandalorian: One person absolutely clowning on the Netflix Marvel superhero series Luke Cage, for some reason: Another with extremely low expectations for day two of Disney+: Not everyone has had a bad time on the app, though, and took to Twitter to gloat about their great coverage instead: Hopefully, going forward, Disney+ will be more calm and less buggy than launch day....
While on most days a bad dad joke induces an eye-roll or complete silence, Father’s Day is the one day of the year when dads get a free pass for every bad joke, pun, and display of dad humor that they loose upon the world. So, in honor of every father’s defiantly corny sense of humor that others love to hate, here are the funniest Father’s Day jokes and puns for 2022....
The most recent win there was the FDA authorization, on December 15, of the first over-the-counter COVID-19 test that can be completed entirely at home. That means that — unlike the existing at-home tests, and more along the lines of a home pregnancy test — you don’t need to send your sample in to get results. The Ellume COVID-19 Home Test uses a self-collected nasal swab and returns results in just 20 minutes....
Shopping for a bike rack can be confusing and intimidating. When it comes to strapping a bike to a rack, that system attaches to your car in one of three ways: It can be bolted onto the roof, strapped to the trunk, or slipped into a hitch. Picking the right one depends on your budget, the make and model of your car, how many bikes you’re bringing, and what kinds of bikes they are....
Why is a group of misinformed savages acting like cake is equal to pie? The fuck it is. This story was submitted by a Fatherly reader. Opinions expressed in the story do not necessarily reflect the opinions of Fatherly as a publication. The fact that we’re printing the story does, however, reflect a belief that it is an interesting and worthwhile read. Created by the Egyptians, propagated by the Greeks, made substantial by the Germans, and driven home by post-industrial age Americans, cake has become the symbol of birthdays, weddings, and death....

“As toddlers engage in pretend play, they are learning a new language, seeing the perspective of others, negotiating and taking turns, and solving problems that arise,” says Rebecca Parlakian, the senior director of programs for Zero to Three. Some tips: choose a play kitchen that’s relatively easy to put together, but has enough realistic features to mimic what kids see in the real world. Opt for a kids’ kitchen set that’s small enough that it won’t take over your living space....
So yes, while the existence of The Fairly Oddparents: Fairly Odder might sound like a cynical reboot of a cool ’90s cartoon, the truth is, there’s a lot to suggest this will be pretty good. Here’s why we’re hopeful. The Premise Is PromisingTy Turner (Ryan-James Hatanaka) returns to Dimmsdale to reunite with his high school sweetheart, Rachel Raskin (Laura Bell Bundy). Their marriage makes Ty’s cautious daughter Viv (Audrey Grace Marshall) and Rachel’s boisterous son Roy (Tyler Wladis) stepsiblings....
If you’re lucky and don’t have a dish drying rack that can hold them, you also get the fun of laying out a paper towel and balancing the bottles ever so carefully, only to accidentally knock them over while putting away a dish. It’s a chore no new parent would dare complain about, but damn does it get old. It can, however, get easier. At least that’s what I found when we received Boon’s $16 Grass drying rack as a gift....
If you’re reading this and do not live in the proverbial cave, there is a very good chance that you are all too familiar with “Baby Shark.” Chances are good that you’ve probably got that clamorous ditty running rampant inside your infected psyche right now, particularly the “doo doo doo, doo doo doo” part. How the hell does a song about a family of sharks, sung by children who don’t seem to realize they’re in a music video, let alone an international smash, make it onto the same Billboard Top 40 charts that was previously the domain of more dignified acts like Milli Vanilli, Rick Dees and Crazy Frog?...
Markovits, who teaches at Yale Law School and sees the advantages and disadvantages of the elite university system at work, argues that this principal has only served to entrench elite systems through gatekeeping, keep the working and middle classes from meaningful advancement, and shuttered the elite class in a game of lock-step, protecting their caste system at the cost of their own personal wants, desires, and humanity. In his book, he lays out the case for dismantling the elite university system, which he says becomes the launching point for the rest of many people’s lives, and creating a system where the advantages of being elite aren’t so advantageous, and the economic struggles of being working or middle class are less so....

Eventually, we did both realize our dreams — me writing professionally and supporting the family while she kept up our home and took point on raising our kids. And we happily maintained the dream for a full five years. But now, due to circumstances beyond our control, my wife has returned to work and we live the life of a typical American family of four. I’m here to tell you: It sucks....

The news shocked the public, as Virgil kept his condition private. He reportedly was diagnosed with cardiac angiosarcoma, a rare form of cancer, back in 2019 and took some time off based on the recommendation of his doctor. Virgil was beloved and widely considered a trailblazer in the world of fashion. While interning at Fendi in Rome in 2009, he met Kanye West, who was quickly enamored with Virgil’s impeccable taste and forward-thinking sense of style....
But the time of the tie should come to an end. Not only because many dads no longer wear them professionally, but because it represents the bare minimum of thought. A tie is a lousy gift. A tie says little about who a father is. A tie is a symbol of labor and joylessness and families can do so much better — like sending flowers for instance. According to a recent report from the National Retail Foundation, consumer spending for Fathers Day will approach $16 Billion in 2019....
