    Ah, the Internet. Great, isn't it? You can be a 400-pound, balding man living in your parents' basement, but make it seem like you're a 22-year-old ripped Navy SEAL. Lies! The Internet is filled with lies, I say! And it's all because it's so easy -- when you don't have to present yourself in real life, anything is possible.

    But when happens when you're honest? Too honest, actually? Turns out, really awesome things.

    Mom, if you haven't heard of Kid President, get ready. The 9-year-old -- whose real name is Robby -- is the cutest short thing in a suit since penguins. He's got Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI), a brittle bone condition that has resulted in him having over 70 breaks since birth, but that hasn't stopped him from becoming a viral video star. Nor has it stopped him from doling out hilarious advice for moms.

    His latest is an open letter to mothers, and it's pretty much everything you needed to give you the giggles today.

    Kristen Wiig returned to Saturday Night Live last night as host. It was great to see her back. She and her former crew tackled a lot too -- from the Benghazi hearings, which included Jodi Arias and even the Ohio kidnappings, to the return of the Target Lady, it was a packed night.

    One skit, however, stood out for its spot-on hilarity -- a tribute to Mother's Day. In it Wiig appears in a 1-800-Flowers commercial to celebrate the holiday. "This Mother's Day I'm going to show my mom how much I care with a little help from 1-800-Flowers," Wiig says. Then she gives the bouquet to her mom (played by Kate McKinnon), and a scenario that's all-too-familiar to many of us ensues.

    No pressure, all you non-moms out there, but DON'T SCREW UP Mother's Day. Just saying, moms don't typically ask for much. Seriously. And whatever we do ask for -- someone to clean his or her room, for example, or load the dishwasher, perhaps -- oftentimes we don't get it. No, I'm not nagging! You bought your own ticket for this guilt trip, young man/lady/mister. Ahem. The point is, this is one day out of the year that you really want to try extra hard to make mom happy. Which is pretty simple, really. Here are a few basic tips to keep in mind.

    Congratulations, Mom! You've actually made it all the way to the teen years without (technically) losing your mind. Except there's a good chance you'll lose it in the very near future, because this gig is NOT for the faint of heart. Seriously, did you put your parents through the same torture?? Because if you did, you better buy your mom something better for Mother's Day than that pair of slippers you found on sale. Speaking of which, all you really want this Mother's Day is 24 hours without someone rolling their eyes at you. Am I right? Here are 25 more ways you know you're the mom of a teen.

    Let’s get this out of the way: My dad is a great guy. He doesn’t meet strangers. He has one of those laughs you can hear even in a roomful of laughing people.

    Naturally, my 15-month-old son is terrified of him. On our last trip to visit my parents--unlike all the other times they'd met--my now15-month-old son shrieked every time Granddad drew near.

    Admittedly, my little guy looked warily at everyone. He has only met them a few times in person. But he saved his loudest yelps for the 6’2” mustachioed man who I look a lot alike. Dad took it in stride, but I was at a loss. For the briefest moment I considered covering my father in my son's favorite food (strawberries) to see if that would break the ice.

    You know how hard it can be to get your kids to eat? Well, it's a lot harder to get Ryan Gosling to eat his cereal. Just a lot sexier. I'm not sure where the idea that Ryan Gosling doesn't like cereal originated, but who cares! Watching His Hotness get all angsty when a spoonful of the crispy breakfast cuisine comes his way is downright agonizing -- but in a good way.

    While writing recent pieces about how you know if you're the mom of a boy or the mom of a girl, I realized there are so many indicators that separate us moms (in general) from everyone else on Earth. So here it is: You know you're a mom if ...

    1.  You haven't heard your actual name the entire day, but you've been beckoned relentlessly.

    2.  You've ever sang The Wheels on The Bus with the same enthusiasm you once sang I Will Survive.

    3.  Lying is always an option as in ... "I'm sorry, the game store is closed on Sunday." "I love the outfit you put together yourself." "Yes, you do sound like Beyonce when you sing." and "No, they don't give ketchup at the drive-thru."

    4.  You have a stain on your clothing that you would have to taste to place.  What is that latte or spit up? One sec… Hmmm... Oh, it's spit up.

    Baby number one is the easiest one to make (assuming you are healthy and fertile, etc.). It’s just you and your partner and oodles and oodles of time. Have sex in the kitchen, why not? There are no little people there to stop you. Have sex in the morning? Why not? There are no tiny feet at your head and extra people in your bed.

    For us, even baby number two was easy enough to make. Our baby was a great sleeper so every weekend we had hours of “nap time” to get horizontal ourselves and then an early bed time that gave us lots of alone moments.

    Then those babies grow. They become big kids with schedules of their own and constant noise and demands. They can’t be placed in one area and expected to stay in that area for longer than three minutes, which is why making that third baby is probably the hardest one at all.

    If you were watching CNN on Wednesday during the network's coverage of the Cleveland kidnapping story, you may have noticed something a little odd. Nancy Grace and Ashleigh Banfield were doing a split-screen broadcast when a bizarre spatial anomaly seemed to take place: the cars passing behind the news actors were exactly the same. How could this be, when the two reporters were communicating via satellite and thus had to be hundreds if not thousands of miles apart, as evidenced by Grace's death-clutch on her earpiece as if she were struggling to hear Banfield's time-delayed comments? Had they somehow tunneled a wormhole through space?

    As it turns out, they were both in Phoenix to cover the Jodi Arias murder trial verdict -- and not only were they in the same zip code, but the same damn parking lot. Despite their split-screen interview, the two reporters must have been standing all of 30 feet from each other, which is hilariously clear when you see the background of both shots.
