I used to think that getting to dress up as one of my favorite childhood princesses every day would be a dream of a job. Then I got older and realized that working for Disney in any capacity probably involves way more rules than I personally would be able to follow, and also, those dresses have to be heavy and Florida is hot.

And yes, I know there’s a Disney park in California, too (and Paris), but let’s be honest. The one in Orlando is the best one (fight me).

I might have just missed Goofy's birthday, but I still want to mark it with the most wholesome interaction in my entire life. A long time ago, back in the 90s, Tiny Tal was being pushed in front of by bigger and noisier kids in the queue to meet Goofy. What did Goofy do in response to this? Part the queue just to give me a huge hug and then pretend to faint in front of everybody. It was the most special moment of Tiny Tal's life, and it cemented Goofy as my all-time favourite Disney character. I've seen him do this kind of thing even as recently as last year, and it really makes such a difference to the youngest visitors to the Disney parks. BRB, off to watch A Goofy Movie. #goofy #throwback #90sdisney #disney #disneylandparis #disneylandparisphotos #disneyland #paris #dlp #dlrp #eurodisney #disneyparks #disneyparksphotos #goof #disneycharacters #disneyparkscharacters #mickeymouseandfriends #disneyphotos #disneyfan #disnerd

None of this is likely news to you, but did you also know that there’s one specific phrase that people cosplaying as the characters for a paycheck aren’t allowed to say in the parks?

They are never ever to say “I don’t know.”

It makes sense if you think about it. Disney promises a fantasy, a suspension of disbelief, and along with their characters looking as if they just stepped out of a movie, they are supposed to always know what they’re talking about.

If you ask them a question and you don’t know the answer, they are supposed to go and find it for you.

Fun fact: they’re also not allowed to point you in the right direction with only one finger; they have to use their index finger in conjunction with their middle finger, because in some cultures it’s considered rude to finger-point with the index finger only.

Legend says this rule came from Walt Disney himself, who used to point out structures at his parks with a cigarette pinched between two fingers.

And there you have it – now you know!

If you’re like me, it’s not like you go out into public looking to spend a lot of time undressing, changing, and redressing a squirming baby on a plastic tray in a dirty bathroom. That said, a baby’s bowels wait for no man, and their little bums will be mad if you wait too long.

Some people prefer to haul baby out to the car for the change, but as I live in a climate where winter still exists, I gotta tell you, that’s not happening in December, or when there’s any kind of precipitation.

As a taller than average person, I love a high changing table. #zooamericana #zooamericahershey #bathroomchangingtable #greatbathroom

A post shared by Katie (@everydayadventureswithkatie) on May 23, 2018 at 3:58am PDT

If that sums up your opinions on baby changing stations in bathrooms, well, then you – like me – are about to get very wary about using them in the future.

The warning comes from mother and recovering addict Jessica Wayman, who told parents in a Facebook post last week to check the changing table for the black marks like the one she posted before laying your baby down. It turns out it could be residue left from burnt spoons placed there by heroin users.

Basically, drugs and other harmful substances could be lingering. Here’s the post…

The post starts…

“PSA: Before putting your babies anywhere near these things, ALWAYS wipe them down first. Even if you are in a hurry, even if you have a blanket to lay down.

See the black marks? Those are from burnt spoons. Addicts use these as tables when they shoot up.

There could be residue from the heroin/meth whatever, and other harmful bodily fluids. If someone doesn’t care about themselves, I can promise you, they aren’t thinking about your kids.

Be cautious.”

Wow, the more you know right?

She adds…

“I am a recovering addict myself, which is why I made this post in the first place, to warn all the unsuspecting parents who would never think something like this when looking at a changing table.

Along with people using them as tables while they shoot up, they are also OFTEN used by addicts to bust drugs out and crush them up upon.

So again, be cautious.”

And yes, even if you use a blanket or other changing pad, wiping the table down first with one of your wipes – an antibacterial one if you have it, or hot water and soap from the sink if you don’t – will ensure that nothing untoward on the table comes home in your diaper bag or on your kid.

Thank you, Jessica, for educating those of us who have spent our lives following the rules. We really appreciate it!

The post Restroom Changing Tables Could Be Dangerous For Your Baby appeared first on UberFacts.

Y’all, we need to talk about what some of you are naming your kids. I get the need to be unique – I had a rule that we couldn’t even consider a name that was in the current top 50 most popular in the U.S. – but I also love my children, and my main concern was to give them a name they can live with for at least the next 18 years.

Some of you…do not seem to have that concern, as more and more, names that have been completely made up are popping up in music classes and library storytimes.

These 10 names, though, they really take the cake!

10. That is…not at all professional and easy to explain.

I work at a college and often go through the new applications to process them, I’ve seen all kinds.

Most ridiculous name I’ve seen thus far though:

Starscream Anakin as his first and middle names. He has a normal last name. When I first saw it, I was certain that it was a kid fucking with our application system. Then I met him in person, and he showed me his ID.

His name is legally Starscream Anakin. I get the Anakin part, but of all the Transformers to name your kid after, why on Earth make it Starscream? He was just awful.

9. I love Dirty Dancing as much as the next person, but…

Baby girl

Yes this was their legal name.

8. It’s funny…but why is that criteria for naming your baby?

When I was pregnant my now exMIL wanted me to name our son “Rock” which is stupid as it is but the last name is Bowler so my son’s name would be Rock Bowler and I couldn’t do that to the poor kid.

My ex thought it would be funny to name him Rocky with the middle name Bal so his name would be Rocky Bal Bowler…

7. I mean, I’d be pretty tired by then, too.

My neighbor was the 12th kid.

His parents named him Twelver.

That’s gotta be the worst I’ve ever seen.

6. I don’t understand any of this.

I went to high school with a guy named Zip Daub.

His middle name was Adydo.

They named that motherfucker Zip Adydo Daub.

5. What you’re saying this is a thing more than one person has done?

My niece is named Nevaeh and you are ABSOLUTELY right that her parents tell everyone that it is “Heaven” spelled backwards. It is like that have the compulsion to justify naming their child Nevaeh.

On a side note, no one calls her Nevaeh. We call her Squish. Not sure which is worse.

4. The older kid definitely got the better end of that deal.

Had a little boy in my program named Rowdy. Eh… kind of rednecky but, whatever.

Then I found out his older brother is named Howdy! WTF?

Found out later that the older boys legal name is Howard. That’s less ridiculous, at least.

3. That’s what they’re going to feel when they’re getting their asses kicked on the playground for the 5th time that week.

An ex had friends who named their kids Haight and Rayge (hate and rage).

Good luck kids.

2. I mean that’s just lazy.

I went to high school with a guy named John John John.

Yes, his first name, middle name and last name were all “John”.

1. A self-fulfilling prophecy?

I once encountered a plump young woman whose name, according to her ID, was Rotunda.

Seriously, some people are just going way too far in the name of being unique, don’t you think?

The post Kids Names That Might Make You Wonder Who Hurt Their Parents appeared first on UberFacts.

Most of us see a funny meme, laugh at it, decide whether or not it’s funny or appropriate enough to share on our timelines, and move on with our lives. We don’t think too much about who might or might not read them (hence the deciding whether or not they’re appropriate), but after reading what happened to Cody Hidalgo, next time, we all might take an extra second to assess.

He shared a silly meme with a picture of Elmo sitting on the potty that reads “boss makes a dollar, I make a dime, and that’s why I poop on company time.”

Funny (as poop memes go) and about as inoffensive as they come.

His boss, though, didn’t think so, sending Cody this text message (yes, really) to fire him over the post.

After podcast host Chris Caesar posted the scenario to Twitter, it quickly went viral.

Jesus Christ lmao pic.twitter.com/49c1I8rLpj

It wasn’t long before people dug up Cody’s employer and started posting 1-star reviews – so many that they had to lock the page down.

And yeah, any sympathy I might have had for this company goes right out the window when someone says they’re glad a kid is dead for any reason at all.

What do you make of all of this? Was the boss out of line? Crazy? Not so much?

Birthday parties are a weird scene, huh? Especially when it’s for 14-year-old girls who are going through all kinds of life changes. You never really know what you’re in for as a parent.

A teenage girl had a sleepover party for her birthday and her father took to Reddit to tell a story about an entitled brat who he eventually showed the door during the middle of the party because of her rude behavior.

Here’s the post from Reddit’s “Am I the Asshole?” page:

“My (34M) daughter (14F) had a sleepover b-day party last saturday, and she invited 5 girls from her school.

There was this one girl that she invited who I could tell from her attitude, was a spoiled brat. When she rang the doorbell, she walked in looking down at her phone, didn’t greet me or my wife, and handed me her jacket without even looking up.

The whole night she was on her phone doing whatever the heck 14 year olds do on phones. I thought she was just embarrassed or shy because maybe she didn’t know anyone, but according to my daughter, she is a “super duper cool girl”.

Anyways, towards the end of the night, my daughter was opening her gifts. SB made a comment about every single gift. (not exactly snarky, but more like she was just unimpressed)

The final gift was from me and my wife, we bought her an iPhone 7 by pooling all of our remaining extra money to buy her it.

the SB scoffed because she had the newest gen iPhone. I helped my daughter set up the phone with a sim card, and the rest of the night they just hung out in her room.

My daughter came down a bit later and she was just sitting on the couch, I asked her what was wrong and she just went back up while saying “why couldn’t you have just bought me the newest iphone??”. That was really out of character for her, as she is always grateful for receiving anything.

My daughter left the phone on the table. I grabbed my daughter’s phone to see a bunch of texts going back and forth between SB and my daughter, they exchanged numbers and the convo went something like this:

D “hey its me”

SB “thanks for inviting me to ur lame slumber party lol, and congrats on the iphone SEVEN haha”

The age-old battle between how much parents should pay babysitters reared its ugly head again in a back-and-forth of epic proportions between a mom and a babysitter who was fed up with the extremely low amount of pay she was getting.

Let’s take a look at this testy exchange from Reddit.

Two dollars and fifty cents an hour?!?! That is INSANITY. I don’t care what job you’re doing.

“I thought she was my friend!” the mom said. This woman sounds like a real delight.

And then the replies came a’ rolling in.

“Easy money.”

Again, let me say that paying someone $2.50 an hour is demeaning and embarrassing.

Ouch.

It looks like the babysitter saw everything that was written about her being “ungrateful” for that amazing gig.

Then the babysitter really put this mom in her place.

Rude and entitled sounds about right.

The battle continued…and mom was not happy at all.

And she didn’t appreciate the comment about her new Lexus.

Oh, boy…that didn’t go well. I gotta say, I’m with the babysitter on this one.

What do you think about this situation? Who’s right and who’s wrong?

If you’ve never spent any time on Reddit’s “Am I The Asshole?” threads before, they are very interesting and they shed a lot of light on family dynamics.

The subject of this AITA post was very serious. A woman found out about her miscarriage just before she hosted her brother and sister-in-law for a visit. The woman was obviously very emotional and things spiraled out of control during the visit.

Here’s the post from Reddit’s AITA:

“My brother (29M) and sister-in-law (SIL) (29F) asked Wednesday if they could come for a visit at that weekend. (They 6h away). We said sure, love to see you.

Friday afternoon, I (34F) had an ultrasound for my 8 week pregnancy. The ultrasound showed a likely miscarriage.

My husband (35M) & I were upset, but as my bro & SIL were already driving, we didn’t cancel the visit. We hadn’t told them about the pregnancy, nor had we told our 3 kids.

When bro & SIL arrive they were excited to tell us SIL is pregnant, and due 2 weeks before I would have been due. I tried to sound excited and happy for them but I wasn’t as excited as I normally would have been. Then it turned into a nightmare.

She didn’t like supper; so we ordered in food for her. She needed the bed moved from 1 wall to another. Fine. She insisted on 5 pillows to sleep. I found a couple & she was upset I couldn’t give her more & asked if she could go into the kids rooms and take theirs. I said no.

Next morning, she freaked out at 7 am that the kids were eating cereal too loud. She spent the morning curled up on the couch complaining about morning sickness. I sympathized and said it’s awful, but it will go away. She screamed “No, you’ve never experienced this- they gave me the same anti-nauseau drugs they give chemo patients so shut up!” I got quiet.

My husband was making brunch and she freaked out that he was going to cook bacon because “the smell makes me vomit.” We didn’t make bacon. She also didn’t want us to make eggs or let the kids have syrup on their pancakes. I refused, so she stormed off into her room until mid- afternoon.

Midafternoon she decides to go shopping and said they’d be back for dinner. We said dinner would be at 5:30. At 5:45 they hadn’t show up, and weren’t replying to texts, so we ate. They showed up at 6 and she freaked out that we hadn’t waited so we ordered pizza.

She spent the next two hours complaining about how brutal pregnancy is and how it sucks so much and how she’s never going through it again. I lost it & told her that I was in the middle of a miscarriage and I’d love to have her problems because it means my baby would be ok.

Everything got quiet and she looked at me and said “I can’t believe you’d use the “M” (miscarriage) word around me.

That’s bad luck, and if I lose the baby it’s your fault!” and went to her room and slammed the door.

If you work in an office, DO NOT mess with other people’s food. If you do, you’ll eventually be found out, humiliated, and then put on blast. Just like this person did.

You’d think people might know better, but I guess not…

There are just certain things you don’t do in an office, and stealing from others is definitely at the top of that list.

Let’s take a look at this story of loss and revenge from Reddit.

“A woman at work was stealing from my snack drawer.

I knew exactly who it was, she was the only one who had seen where I put them. This woman was a pain: opinionated, gossipy, lazy, and just all around drama (I’ll call her Karen). I knew if I approached her, she’d deny it, get all butt hurt and make a scene. So I let it go.

One morning I took a personal call and was away from my desk for about 30 minutes. When I returned a new package of cookies I had brought that morning had been opened and was 4 light.

She must have watched me leave and came by while I was outside. Until now she’d just taken a few out of what was already open but she’d graduated to opening boxes.

THE BALLS!!!

I took a sheet of white paper and wrote in big black sharpie letters:

Sometimes, you hear or read words that make so much sense to you, they get stuck in your head forever. And some even change your outlook on life and the way you live it.

Do you have quotes like this that you remember?

Here is what 25 AskReddit users had to say.

1. You have to figure it out.

“I can explain it to you, but I can’t understand it for you.”

2. Never a good thing.

“Beware of the man who will not be bothered with details” – William Feather

3. Dumb luck.

“Love is not about grand gestures, or the moon and the stars. It’s just dumb luck. Sometimes you find someone who feels the same way for you and sometimes you’re just unlucky.”

4. Don’t do that to yourself.

“If you stress too much about something before it happens, you basically put yourself through it twice.”

5. Keep it simple.

“If you can’t explain it simply, you don’t understand it well enough.” Albert Einstein

6. Ha! This is pretty good.

“Y’all don’t know what you’re capable of! You’re not gonna die out here! And if you do die, there was probably something wrong with you already!” -My football coach

7. A classic.

“Not all those who wander are lost.” – J.R.R. Tolkien

8. Think about that one.

“Whether you think you can or you can’t, you’re right.”

– Henry Ford

9. He was the best.

“I never fucked a ten. But one night, I fucked five twos, and I think that should count.”

-George Carlin

10. A good one.

“Loneliness is a good thing to share with someone.”

“God forgives everything; your conscience does not”

My great-grandfather (1912-2014)

14. Amen to this.

“It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.”

I think more people in the U.S. need to understand this concept. Not everything has to be radicalized into one position and forbidden to ever question an ideology.

15. Live by this!

“You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.”

-A.A.Milne

16. Never stop.

19. I love this one.

“You can’t judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree.”
-Albert Einstein

20. From The Outsiders

“Stay gold Ponyboy, stay gold.”

21. Think about who comes next.

“A society grows great when old men plant trees,the shade of which they know they will never sit in.”

22. This is perfect.

“Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift. That is why they call it the present.” -Master Oogway

23. Very true.

“People who talk about their integrity have none.”

24. You’ll always be there.

“Wherever you go, there you are”

Meaning that if you think you will change when “something” happens, i.e a new job, a new house, a new significant other, losing weight, whatever problems are due to you will still be there.

25. One final thought.

“Don’t look back. You’re not going that way”

— Mary Engelbreit

Those were so good, I even wrote some of them down!

Let’s keep this thread going!
