Two-Year-Old Girl Is World’s Littlest Pearl Jam Megafan [VIDEO]

by Rebecca Pahle | 4:35 pm, May 16th, 2013

Penelope, only two years old when this video was taken, does a bang-up job singing along to Pearl Jam’s “Elderly Woman Behind the Counter in a Small Town” before demanding “more, more!” Someone tell me her parents brought her a tiny plaid flannel shirt after this.

Artist Mom Is Way Cooler Than Yours, Packs Napkins With Dog Superheroes On Them In Her Kids’ Lunches

by Rebecca Pahle | 2:27 pm, April 28th, 2013

I mean, photographer/sculptor Nina Levy isn’t cooler than my mom, and I’ll fight you if you say otherwise. And OK, maybe I feel a bit awful about dissing our readers’ moms, however indirectly. I take it back. But the napkins she packs in her sons’ lunches every day are pretty amazing regardless of the cool factor of our own respective mothers. Sometimes those napkins even have superheroes as dogs on them. You can check out other napkins, canine superhero and non-canine superhero alike, at Levy’s blog. A few of my favorites are behind the jump. Wonder Woman as a pitt bull, guys. Wonder Woman as a pit bull.

There’s not much more I can say to preface this awesome episode of “Kid Snippets” except to say children trying to explain adult things will never not be funny.

Cool Kid of the Day: Tony Hawk’s Daughter

by Susana Polo | 12:09 pm, December 18th, 2012

There’s nothing cooler than folks keeping their teenage passions (you know, the ones that are still associated with teenagers by the mainstream) through adulthood, and there’s nothing cuter than the same folks passing on those passions to their kids. Says Hawk to those worried about his adorable daughter, “For those that say I endanger my child: it’s more likely that you will fall while walking on the sidewalk than I will while skating with my daughter.” Which at first brush seems a little brash, but then again… he’s the guy with nine X Games gold medals.

13-Year-Old Girl Whose Little Brother Wants an Easy-Bake Oven for Christmas Petitions Hasbro for a Gender-Neutral Version

by Rebecca Pahle | 2:00 pm, December 3rd, 2012

New Jersey eighth grader McKenna Pope has a four-year-old brother, Gavyn, who wants to a be chef when he grows up. For Christmas, in the boy’s own words, he wants “a dinosaur and an Easy-Bake Oven.” As anyone who’s ever seen or had one knows, the Easy-Bake Oven is marketed pretty much exclusively to girls, with a pink and purple design and commercials featuring young girls making baked goods decorated with hearts and pink frosting. (On Hasbro’s Website the Easy-Bake Oven is in the “Cooking & Baking Games for Girls” section. There’s no equivalent section for boys.)

Miffed by the suggestion that cooking is somehow not a sufficiently “manly” interest for young boys, Pope started a Change.org petition to get Hasbro to include boys on its packaging and to offer the Easy-Bake Oven in gender-neutral colors like red, blue, and green.
