Got Kids?
Me too! Do they constantly ask for stuff? Mine too! Have they already learned that commercials aimed at children lie better than a horny politician? Yeah? Then check out our new site, Kids Know Stuff:
9-year old Lena says, “Buy us stuff we like only!” And, I don’t know why, but her identical twin sister Liberty says, “And don’t pee on the stuff you buy us.” (In case you’re wondering, it’s Nature’s fault she is the way she is; Nurture didn’t have anything to do with it. Science proves it. Not my fault.)
Anyway, with those directives in mind, we created Kids Know Stuff because, well, adults don’t know stuff. Kids are practically people and they have their own ideas about what they like and don’t like.
As a old lady mother, I have no idea what goes on in the brains of tweens and teens and especially those little ones who don’t talk right yet. And since I believe I’m not alone in being the type of mother for whom kids’ whining over crappy stuff makes me want to stab myself in the eye with a citrus peeler, I decided it might be healthier for everybody if we let the kids tell us what they want and don’t want.
Lena and Liberty, along with their friends and family, will use this site to rant or rave about the stuff they hate, the stuff they love, the stuff they’re indifferent toward, and any other stuff that comes to mind. Kids are whiny when they get crappy stuff, so come here first to find out the stuff they like only.
Dawn has great ideas, but she has a real job so she gave this idea to us and then helped us make it pretty. Your kids might like to watch the short videos and you might learn about kid stuff. And you can tell us about your kids’ stuff. And your kids can tell us how they feel about their stuff. And we’ll have giveaways! Yay!

Abby,
I checked out the kids’ site, which looks pretty awesome, but none of the videos work. Let me know when they’re fixed so I can look.

Very cool. I love that it is a forum that makes kids feel their opinions matter. But now mine give them even when I am not asking for them so maybe that was a misguided, liberal, pie in the sky, parenting moment. Authoritarianism. What a time saver! Why? Because I said so!
