Experience isn’t always the most important qualification for a politician. Sometimes dimples work just fine.

Whether you realize it or not, kids know a whole heck of a lot. Their ability to come up with entertainingly intelligent nuggets of wisdom is incomparable, and we’re here to prove that point even further.

Pottytraining can be frustrating, not to mention time consuming, cutting into precious minutes a toddler could be spending watching Dora the Explorer, but not anymore! Meet the iPotty, a training toilet with a built-in holder for an iPad so your toddler can use the restroom just like a grownup -- while playing Angry Birds and watching Netflix.

A Massachusetts father gives his children a reason, beyond the possibility of string cheese, to look forward to lunch. David Laferriere of Attleboro has been drawing on his kids' sandwich bags for the past five years, posting pics of each doodle to his flickr account.

Myth debunked - parents can indeed be funny and we have the tweets to prove it! Check out 10 of the most hilarious things written on Twitter this week by parents (and one non-parent who gets it) this week:
