The iBabysitter
Be a good boy and play Angry Birds: Parents of squirmy toddlers have discovered an effective pacifier that keeps their kids quiet while they enjoy a restaurant meal or run errands. About 1 in 5 parents in a survey say they give their kid an iPhone, iPad or other such device to keep them occupied.
The other 4 out of 5 parents say they plug their headphones into the iPhone and tune out their toddler.
Mamas, don’t let your babies grow up to be cowboys: A child psychologist warns not to put too much pressure on your teen to make a particular career choice. Instead, encourage them to try out clubs and volunteer work to help them discover their interests.
Unless they want to go into politics, and then you should absolutely forbid it.
Don’t know much about history: On this day in 1941, work, which started in 1927, was completed on the Mount Rushmore National Memorial in South Dakota, carving in stone the images of Presidents Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln and Teddy Roosevelt.
In preparation for 70th anniversary ceremonies, giant Q-tips carried by helicopter were used to clean the ears of the presidents.
