These Dogs All Played in Mud and They Sure Are Happy

Dogs sure love to play in the mud.

What can you say, they love to get dirty!

If you have a pooch, you know the deal: when there’s a mud puddle nearby, a bath will be in order very soon.

These dogs all look very happy about frolicking around in the mud.

Let’s look at the evidence.

1. You’re a mess!

2. This is gonna get ugly.

3. I’ve seen that face before.

4. All up in it.

5. The look of shame.

6. I love this one!

7. Only the bottom half.

These people are doing very important work.

‘Live From Snacktime’ Provides the Wholesome Internet Content You Need

Teacher Alyssa Cowit never failed to be entertained by her young students as they chatted with each other during free time. She figured that other people might feel the same, and so worked with Greg Dunbar, a digital marketing manager with Walt Disney Studios, to create Live From Snacktime.

The quotes from the children on there will make you want to fistbump them in solidarity, to laugh out loud, to hug the crap out of them, and pretty much every emotion in between.

Here are 15 of my favorites.

15. Agreed. It’s already made and everything!

14. If you follow her meaning.

Disney+ Changed the Dryer Scene in ‘Lilo and Stitch’

If you decide to pull Lilo & Stitch up for streaming, well, you might notice that Disney has made a small but noticeable change.

There was a scene where Lilo hides from Nani in a dryer – but now he hides in a plain cabinet.

The reason? Disney, and parents everywhere, would really like to discourage, not encourage, their kids to not hide in dryers lest one get started up with a sleeping child inside.

Photo Credit: Disney

And if you think that would never happen, well, first off, it’s likely you’ve never had a toddler.

Second, statistics show that over 2,000 kids a year are hurt – and some even die – after becoming stuck inside dryers, so it’s definitely responsible to consider those facts when portraying a fun game of hide and seek.

There is precedent for Disney altering scenes or sequences that are considered outdated or unsavory through a modern lens. Pixar scrubbed a gross outtake of Stinky Pete seemingly inviting Barbie onto a casting couch in Toy Story 2, which is obviously in poor taste.

That said, many of their older movies still contain racist remarks or character names (looking at you, Peter Pan), so it’s not really clear what the standards are for altering bits and pieces of movies.

Of course, with some of the older movies, there are so many references and so much that’s wrong that there would be nothing to do but trash the whole thing.

Perhaps they’re just thinking to give parents the option of whether to view the movie and have the appropriate discussions, or to not view it at all, given its outdated content.

As a parent, you’ll have to decide for yourself what films still have enough merits to warrant a viewing, despite troublesome moments, and which ones your kids (and the world) can do without.

Disney can’t do it all, no matter how much it might want to, after all!

Are you going to let your kids watch movies like Dumbo or Peter Pan? Why or why not? Let’s discuss in the comments!

A Teacher Shared 14 Hilarious Quotes From Her Kids

Kids really do say the darndest things – something teacher Alyssa Cowit knows since she spends every day with them.

They’re often funny because the kids have no idea what they’re saying, or because what they’re saying is too true (and wise) for their age, but any way you slice it, there’s no way to keep a straight face reading these 14 kid-quotes.

Let’s all say thank you to Live from Snacktime, shall we? And make sure to follow them on Instagram, Twitter, and/or Facebook!

14. Dogs really are a lot like us, I guess.

13. It’s really not fair.

12. This is a whole mood and I am here for it.

11. Same, kid. Honestly.

10. Why do I get the feeling he’s heard this a lot?

9. Wisdom from deep in the human soul.

8. It’s important to dream big, and to stay weird.

7. Except for diabetes…you can’t.

6. This really never changes.

5. Definitely trying this line at home.

You and Your Kids Will Love This LEGO-Inspired Waffle Maker

Waffles are a breakfast staple at my house, and if there’s one thing parents know, it’s that kids are going to play with their food regardless of whether or not you give them permission.

So why not have some fun with a waffle maker that makes LEGO bricks you can actually build before they get in your belly?

Photo Credit: Waffle Wow

This building-brick waffle iron is still in the works – you can back their Kickstarter for cool gifts – and from the outside, it looks pretty normal. On the inside, though, there are LEGO-like interlocking patterns that can produce 10 1×2 bricks, 2 1×1 bricks, and 2 1×4 bricks.

Photo Credit: Waffle Wow

You pour in your batter like normal, but when they’re done, you can spend some time constructing whatever strikes your fancy before adding butter and syrup and chowing down.

The product is scheduled to ship to backers in a few months, but you can still preorder.

Photo Credit: Waffle Wow

And get this! One of the rewards are these plates that have complementary nubs to help hold your LEGO waffles in place.

If you’ve got little kids or big LEGO fans of any age in the house, this would make an excellent gift, I think.

Photo Credit: Waffle Wow

Or just a fun addition to Saturday morning breakfast.

What do you think? Is this going to find its way into your kitchen?

I can’t wait to see what people make with them!

You Can Now See the ‘Harry Potter: A History of Magic’ Exhibit Online for Free

There are a lot of cool things you can experience from your living room couch these days, and even though it’s not the same as actually being there, a virtual tour or viewing is better than nothing.

J.K. Rowling has been great about pushing her Harry Potter content out to a wider audience, and many of the people who own a stake in the properties are doing the same.

The British Library is following her line of thinking and making their Harry Potter: A History of Magic exhibit free online. You can access it through Google Arts and Culture, wandering virtually though features that explore the history of magic across the United Kingdom.

Take a Trip Tuesday• • “Because that's what Hermione does," said Ron, shrugging. "When in doubt, go to the library.” – Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets For today's trip, let's take a page from Hermione and venture into the British Library's Harry Potter: A History of Magic exhibit. Get lost in the abundance of content as you study herbology or care of magical creatures, look at some of J.K.Rowling's early notes, or read more about the myths and legends in which many elements of the books are rooted. Follow the link in the profile. • • Our office may be closed for #shelterinplace but Dr. Shields is always available for questions, urgent concerns, and emergencies 24/7.

The exhibit includes a witch’s scrying mirror from The Museum of Witchcraft and Magic, illustrations from Jim Kay, and the story of how Harry Potter was conceived and made its way into the collective consciousness.

The online collection is part of the #HarryPotterAtHome effort championed by Rowling and the Wizarding World franchise team, who are working together to promote online access at this time.

The History of Magic exhibits are organized like Hogwarts courses, divided into Potions, Herbology, Charms, Astronomy, Divination, Defense Against the Dark Arts, Care of Magical Creatures, and Alchemy.

⭐⭐⭐La mostra di Harry Potter "A History of Magic" è visitabile online!!! ??? Tra i tantissimi eventi bloccati, posticipati o annullati a causa della diffusione del contagio del nuovo coronavirus, c'è anche l'esposizione dedicata alla storia di Harry Potter allestita all'interno della British Library di Londra in collaborazione con Wizarding World. Se è vero che, almeno per il momento, non sarà possibile volare nel Regno Unito per vederla di persona, arriva però una buona notizia per i fan del maghetto più famoso al mondo. Vista l'eccezionalità del momento, la mostra apre virtualmente i battenti a tutti gli appassionati, che potranno visitarla gratuitamente grazie ad un tour virtuale tra manoscritti e oggetti magici.

A post shared by Storia e Magia (@storiaemagia) on

The magical creatures portion should be especially fascinating for fans of the Fantastic Beasts franchise and contains a digitized and annotated collection of medieval bestiaries.

Licensing for the books themselves has also been relaxed, meaning you can nab the first ebook and audiobook for free right now, and teachers are allowed to read them aloud online. Other Harry Potter at Home resources include quizzes, crafts, articles, and tons of fresh content for fans of all ages.

So get your booties online, people – there’s a whole wizarding world out there to explore and there’s no telling how long it’s going to last!

TV Shows Your Kids Can Watch That Won’t Drive You Crazy

It’s pretty common for children’s shows to simultaneously entertain kids and drive parents batty. They’re loud, they’re annoying, they’re stupid (look at you, Calliou), and honestly, there are way too many songs.

It turns out, though, that it doesn’t have to be that way – 15 parents are here to give you the gift of television that you and your kids can binge together.

15. Fuller House

“It’s nostalgic, kid-friendly, and modern all at once. Plus you can’t go wrong with Uncle Jesse.”

14. Adventure Time

“It has really great and complex teachings aimed towards kids but also a lot of adult humour. My husband and I watched it before having our son.”

13. Malcolm in the Middle

“It’s a great one. I was a 12-year-old when it first came out, so I found it incredibly relatable. I started watching it recently because I just finished Breaking Bad, and I’m a HUGE fan of Bryan Cranston (Hal).

It’s still incredibly relatable, but I relate more to the parents now. Also, it’s super silly, goofy, and sometimes cheesy, but also extremely witty and smart at the same time.”

12. Batman: The Animated Series

“Some of the episodes have really stuck with me, and it’s where the character Harley Quinn originated from (animated Harley = best Harley).”

11. Rugrats

“My husband and I are peak ’90s Nickelodeon kids, so we’ve been rewatching all the old shows with our 4-year-old. We get a lot of the adult jokes we didn’t get as kids, and our son likes it too.”

10. Sarah Jane Adventures

“It dealt with some surprisingly mature topics for a CBBC show, and handled them very well.”

9. Gravity Falls

“It’s a great show for all ages. It’s colourful and humourous with an overarching mystery that keeps you guessing. The main characters are three-dimensional, the villains are genuinely scary, and the themes are mature yet relatable to any age demographic.”

8. Greenhouse Academy

“It’s basically the TV show you know you wanted when you were 12, and it’s really hard to not get wrapped up in it once you’ve started. I’ve binged it. No shame.”

7. Bluey

“It’s for really little ones, but I have laughed out loud at almost every episode. I recommend it to any parent getting sick of watching the same cartoons. I think I may like it better than my child.”

6. The Goldbergs

“Life in the ’80s with an overbearing mother, an emotionally difficult-to-reach father, and a legend of a grandpa. Told from the youngest’s perspective – it’s engaging, funny, with good lessons and morals.”

5. Steven Universe

“It’s a kids show but people of all ages can relate to it. It’s entertaining and very heartwarming. It touches on LGBTQ+ relationships, mental health, and emotions, among other things.”

4. Little Lunch

“My kids love it and so do I! It’s a mockumentary-style show detailing the lives of Australian primary school students during their break-time. It’s The Office for kids and it is hilarious!”

3. The Amazing World of Gumball

“It’s hilarious and discusses things everyone at any age goes through.”

2. Horrible Histories

“I rewatched it when I was in uni (as I had run out of sitcoms to watch) and I fell in love with it again!

It’s full of references only adults would get, which are bloody hilarious, is educational, and has songs that make it so uplifting and feel good!”

1. Anne with an E 

“It’s light-hearted and entertaining but still has a level of maturity that is educational.”

I’m definitely going to put these on my list for when my kids get older – I don’t think there’s any way to make it work when your littles are so…little.

What’s your favorite show to watch with your kids? If it’s not on this list, please share it with us in the comments!

Pure Parenting Moments From Jim and Pam on ‘The Office’
