Mommy's Little Dreamer Is Full of Imagination

What happens when a mom imagines all the fun adventures her son can have after he grows up? You get an absolutely adorable set of photos like the ones taken by new mother Amber Wheeler. The artist takes pictures of her baby on a white background and then photoshops in simple paint lines and other effects to create all kinds of elaborate scenes showing him as a ninja, rock star, riding a bike and more.

UFO Crashes at Elementary School

Students at North Harringay primary school in Geater London, England, were surprised to find that a flying saucer had crash-landed in the school's pavement. It had apparently landed so hard that it was half-buried in the asphalt!

A forensic officer was spotted inspecting the UFO while police closely guarded the scene, which was roped off while investigations took place.

The whole event was just the inspiration pupils needed for a creative writing day at the school, and was orchestrated by Emma Hassan, its literacy leader, with the help of one very creative parent and a local PC.

A parent had built the spacecraft for the school and also showed up dressed as a forensic detective. A police constable was also recruited to lend authenticity to the stunt. Many examples of creative writing were accomplished that day and a good time was had by all. -via Fortean Times

Franklin D. Roosevelt's Baby Pictures

Most children in the 1880s had few, if any, portraits taken before they grew up. Franklin Roosevelt, being a child of privilege, had many. Just look at him here with his lovely baby curls and feathered bonnet, in a wicker side-saddle for two with his dog! By the time he was five, he lost his long curls. He eventually got to start wearing pants, too, although his mother put him in a kilt for his 5-year-old portrait. No one knew then that he'd eventually become the best president ever. Buzzfeed culled several pictures of Roosevelt's childhood for your enjoyment.

Man Gives Birth, Scores 6 Points

While my wife was in labor with our first child, one of the nurses, clearly mistaking us for being far wealthier than we were, asked my dear bride in what style we had decorated the nursery. Without hesitation and while keeping a straight face, my wife replied, "Early Garage Sale."

If I ever had to give birth, I'd want to be as calm and sassy as that. But, yeah, a play-by-play announcer would be nice. And maybe a color commentator for the downtime moments.

Now here's my question for Dan Piraro, the cartoonist who drew this comic: what's the stick of dynamite for?

Parenting Achievement Unlocked

When your kids get sneaky and deceptive in order to read books, you know that you've raised serious readers.

If my parents ever caught me reading under the covers with a flashlight, they never let on about it.

Marklo Kloos, the author of this tweet, is also a budding science fiction writer. He wrote Terms of Enlistment, an excellent military science fiction novel similar to Heinlein's Starship Troopers.

14 Costumes Only Children Can Pull Off

To be fair, I don't think that all of the 14 costumes in this Buzzfeed list really are only good on children, but there are certainly a few that would look mighty silly on an adult -like this Nintendo costume, or the gnome costume. Really though, there are plenty of great Marie Antoinettes, though the best ones are missing their head, which is something that wouldn't be quite right for a youngster.

Cool Minimalist Posters Based On Classic Fairy Tales

Everyone knows classic fairy tales, especially the ones that Disney has taken on in their films, to the point that even one small picture can be used to identify the story in question. That's the brilliance of Christian Jackson's minimalist fairy tale posters. Each one features just one (or a handful) of images from these classic tales and the name of the story, though you could probably identify most of these without having the name there to help.

Pug owners are a dedicated lot. Fortunately, they can still learn to love their own babies...as long as said youngsters start to take on the appearance of their beloved pooches. These crocheted pug hats by Etsy seller Catily Crochet are a great first step towards that goal.

OK, maybe that's not the real purpose of these hats. Either way, they are simply adorable.

UV Baby Branding

Branding a Baby? Although it doesn't burn as much as branding cattle, the principle and purpose is the same. In 1938, some hospitals used ultraviolet light to "sunburn" the parent's initials onto a baby to ensure that the right babies left with the right parents. A plastic bracelet works just fine these days. This not-so-bright idea is part of a gallery of 11 Terrifying Childcare Inventions From The Early 20th Century at PopSci. Link -via Boing Boing
