It’s a great comedy, and it’s most memorable moment is undoubtedly “Fat Guy in a Little Coat,” a simple, stupid song that only Farley could pull off. Tommy spends the movie trying to prove that he’s enough of an adult to fill his dad’s shoes, with much of the comedy coming from his inability to do so. Farley was a great fit for the role because his comedy always exuded childlike energy, his physical movements resembling those of a kid who has just undergone a growth spurt and isn’t quite sure how to operate his newly larger frame....

One such kids’ couch is the Nugget, a 4-piece, portable couch for kids. It’s made of open-cell foam (covered by a soft, washable microsuede fabric) and designed to withstand whatever they throw at it. Literally. They claim it’s unbreakable, so hurl away! It’s comprised of a base, mattress, and 2 triangular-shaped pillows (equilateral, if you’re quizzing them on geometry) that are unconnected for easy mobility. And while the Nugget is one couch option for kids, we another one that’s equally cool....

And to get into the spirit of the season, Zippia shared a map that shows every state’s favorite candy. To create the map, they used Google Trends to discover which of 50 candies were the most popular in all 50 states (sorry DC, you were left out of this one). Here are the results. Kit Kats and Twix tied for first place, with both being no. 1 in five states....

The inflatable flatbed is roughly 9 feet long and 5 feet wide. It has a windshield complete with printed-on wipers and wheels that look half-submerged when it’s in the water. There are headlights and a grille on the front of the float, and a license plate printed on the back because hell yeah there is. On the other side of the float, the main seating/lounging area is in what would be the bed of the truck....

The fire pit weighs just eight pounds and comes in a carrying case with a shoulder strap, so it’s easy to take wherever you’re going to set up your campfire. To set it up, simply unfold the aluminum alloy frame and slide on the four ember guards in parallel pairs before you rest the stainless steel mesh on the guards. This will ensure that when it comes time to clean up the ash you can lift up the whole assembly and dump it easily....

Roberto’s father wanted to please his son. But, wasn’t a skilled cook, nor did he care for the mess — or large ingredient list — that came hand-in-hand with flour-based cookies. So, instead, he did some tinkering and arrived at the idea of combining peanut butter with ground almond instead of flour to streamline the process — and keep things a cleaner. This recipe for three-ingredient peanut butter cookies was the result....

Timeouts are not effective as “a stand-alone parenting strategy; rather, it was part of a stepped process, in which effective implementation was dependent on mastery of positive reinforcement of the child as a first step,” University of Sydney researchers Mark Dadds and Lucy Tully wrote in the study. “In other words, enhancing the positive relationship between parent and child (“time-in”) was necessary for timeout to be effective.” Timeouts have increased in popularity in the post-spanking age of parenting, and TOPR is currently the most common form of discipline in the U....

Weather is the ninth app from the highly praised studio run by a guy who asks prospective employees to name their favorite children’s book in interviews. It’s the sixth in the Explorer’s Library series, and like Simple Machines and Homes, the app explains big ideas about the natural world by letting kids ages 4+ drag and drop different elements onto the screen and watch how they respond to each other and their environment....

Chose The Right Setting According to the Heat Index, the majority of Americans head to the beach when they want to get it on. A smaller percentage prefers the city. “Consider what places feel sexy to you and your partner and what locations have been sexy destinations for you in the past,” says Brianna Rader, a sex and relationship educator and founder of the Juicebox Sex & Relationship App. “Also, remember that you don’t have to travel far....

RELATED: The 5 Best Basic Phones for Kids Is there really such thing as an untraceable phone, and, if so, would you even want it? “No and no,” says Ben Levitan, a wireless cellular telecommunications expert who has worked for 3 of the industry’s major carriers, and participated in developing 4G technology. But that doesn’t mean they can’t be safe. Here, Levitan explains why your kid is safer with a smartphone, the impossibility of having an “untraceable” phone and what measures you can take to make the right call....

When President-elect Joe Biden was on the campaign trail, he campaigned time and time again on restoring Title IX regulations — a series of rules and guidelines for how school campuses in the K-12 and college sphere should deal with sexual assault allegations — that were stripped back under the Trump administration. Now that the President-elect is set to assume office on January 20, victims advocates, women’s organizations, and the President-elect’s own nonprofit to address sexual violence, “It’s On Us” are all starting to look at ways that Biden could undo Betsy DeVos’s damage to Title IX, which limited the avenues of redress sexual assault survivors had and bolstered the rights of those accused of sexual assault....

Or, you could spend your time playing laser tag with this new kind of toy from Nerf, one of our favorite new toys of the year.

His comedy doesn’t come from a place of meanness or malice, and that is precisely what makes him uniquely suited to be the Tom Hanks of kids’ movies. Yup, that’s him, voicing Forky in Toy Story 4 and Tobias the elf in the Doc McStuffins special. You’ll see him as Tieran in the upcoming Clifford the Big Red Dog. And on October 1, he’s Darth Vader’s own Gary, the servant Vanee, in the Lego Star Wars Terrifying Tales special....

The bill could fix many retirement issues facing American workers — and given that nearly half of older workers have no retirement savings and Boomers, on average, do not have enough money saved for retirement, it could come at no better time. Although there are some key details to resolve — the House passed a version of Secure 2.0 that is separate from one the Senate has been working on, the Retirement Security and Savings Act — there are some major similarities to the laws that could benefit workers....

Recipients were reportedly less anxious and depressed compared to the control group, and both symptoms decreased over the course of the year. There were also statistically significant improvements in fatigue levels, emotional health, and overall well-being. All of this makes sense. The conservative argument against a guaranteed income (and the social safety net in general) isn’t that giving people money won’t make them happier; it’s that giving them money prevents them from gaining the satisfaction of working hard and contributing to the economy....

“Our top priority at UPPAbaby is the safety of children,” the company wrote in its voluntary recall notice. “We conduct extensive testing to ensure UPPAbaby products meet all global industry and regulatory standards. Despite passing all tests and meeting all standards, UPPAbaby received one report about the all-terrain RIDGE stroller.” Which stroller is being recalled and why? In conjunction with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), UPPAbaby recalled approximately 14,400 of its all-terrain RIDGE jogging strollers after a report of a child’s finger getting caught in the brake of the jogger, resulting in amputation....

When we collected the number of children per capita in each state and then compared the data to statewide voting records, we found that the trend is so strong, that it can even be observed at the state level. Red States came out with significantly more kids per capita than Blue States. There are, of course, sociopolitical reasons why Republicans might have more children. Conservatives tend to live in sprawling rural or suburban communities and are often social conservatives who eschew birth control and abortions, and summarily bump up the U....

The recall encompasses all colors of the Valco Snap Duo Trend Double Stroller including denim, night, gray, and charcoal. “The recalled strollers have an order, model or batch number printed on the label permanently affixed to the strollers’ frame,” the agency recall reads....

If you’re interested in a stroller that doubles as a modern art installation in your foyer, you found it. The Stokke Xplory may be sleek, trendy, and certain to get you noticed in the mall food court, but at $1,229, it doesn’t come cheap. What is does comes with, however, is an adjustable seat that online parents are raving about — along with these other features.

If this thing was real, it would actually be a great thing to have in 2020. It’s easy to maintain social distancing with trick-or-treaters if you can stand ten feet away and fire York Peppermint Patties into their pillowcases and plastic pumpkins. And what better way is there to respond to the doorbell and “Trick or Treat!” than by cocking your plastic weapon before spraying the neighborhood children with Starburst....
