With Mothers Day fast approaching, families (dads, kids primarily) are rushing around trying to find the ULTIMATE MOTHERS DAY GIFT for the women in their lives
Maybe, they’re trying just a little bit too hard. Maybe, the best mother’s day gift is something that’s right in front of their noses.

Do you remember Isaac Lamb? Web Watch told you about him last year when he did a fantastic LIP DUB music video to Bruno Mars’ MARRY YOU as a wedding proposal for his girlfriend Amy Frankel.
Go ahead, click that link so you can remember what we’re talking about. We’ll join you after the jump, and you’ve had a moment to grab a tissue.

Web Watch has talked about ELIMINATION COMMUNICATION earlier, a method used by parents to encourage their infants to equate specific sounds with going to the potty.
Pavlovian, you say? Perhaps. But parents who practice EC swear by it, and it saves them hundreds of dollars a year in disposable diaper costs.

We were all teenagers once.
And come Springtime, they say, is when a young heart turns to finding love. Well, maybe not “love” per se, but how about “strong like”?
Being a teenager is a tough time with lots of challenges due to the lack of experience that being in ones’ twenties gives you the proper perspective on. Adults may not always have all the answers, but they’ve lived through the same struggles that teenagers are going through today - if only the teens in their lives would think to ask for that advice.

They say that there are three things that one should expect to consider as The Most Important Expenses in your lifetime: a new car, a new home, and your first wedding.
(Kids, naturally, are also an expense over time — but that’s an expense that returns love and so much more, so Web Watch will leave that one out of this discussion.)
Web Watch was chatting with one of our friends the other day about troubles he was having with his 2-year-old in daycare.
And it wasn’t so much that the 2-year-old was causing trouble or that the daycare the child was in wasn’t doing their job — it was more an issue with one specific activity that this particular daycare thought was an important part of a young child’s education.

Young people tend to ignore older folks.
Advertisers tend to ignore older folks.
Even some older folks ignore each other at times.
But you know, sometimes we should take the time to listen to our elders. They say some pretty funny stuff sometimes.

Scientists are always looking for the next, best thing.
And in their quest to determine how much air and environmental pollution farm animals contribute to the Earth each year, it can become necessary to teach those same farm animals how to do their business on demand.
Think of this along the lines of you you’d housebreak a dog, or teach a cat to use the toilet instead of a litter box — all animals can be taught to associate bathroom time with a specific action, method or command — the object with farm animals is that you’re dealing with the same on a much, much bigger scale.
Hattie Garlick has a plan.
For 2013, she decided on a unique New Year’s resolution, to try to raise her son Johnny as cost-free as possible for a year.
That’s right — she’s not going to spend any money for anything that’s specifically geared towards her 2-year-old son.

One thing about Superheroes – with all that spandex, certain body issues come into play.
Spiderman? Definitely.
Superman? For sure.
The Hulk? Not so much.
But Batman – he has more issues than a subscription to LIFE magazine.
Especially as we get deeper into the holiday season, it becomes more and more important to monitor our food intake to ensure that when January 1st hits that we’ll have less extra poundage on our bodies to take off as part of that traditional New Year’s Resolution to lose weight.
So what should you do? Avoid eating altogether?
Don’t be ridiculous.
But there is one thing that you can do, one small adjustment to your diet, that can work wonders. And you may actually like it.

Parents, listen up!
Remember when WEB WATCH TOLD YOU ABOUT POO in the BALL PIT? Or when we mentioned other PLAYGROUND INJURIES that you need to be aware of when your kids go out to play?
Well, guess what? There’s anotherPLAYGROUND DANGERthat Web Watch needs to share with you:

Are you a parent of a small child or toddler?
As quite a few of Web Watch’s parental friends have found out, you aren’t a parent until you experience your child pooping during bathtime.
It happens, they say. Perfectly normal.

Stripper names are interesting, aren’t they?
You can only imagine that there exists a Xerox sheet in the back of the bar that all new strippers go through, crossing off names as they become unavailable.
It couldn’t be as simple as this list of 700 STRIPPER NAMES, because some of the suggestions they have don’t seem to be very realistic: “Henry Poopdeck, the Sailer” is not a stripper Web Watch cares to see.

Do you remember the FRACTURED FAIRY TALES segment on the Rocky and Bullwinkle Show?
That’s where the show would tell slighty edited, oddball versions of classic stories – occasionally with a modern twist.
