I am starting to understand why my parents would shake their head, when I was a kid asking at what point they started to see the world in color or when I would ask my Grandparents why an Ice Box wasn't in the freezer.
The core food groups of a 5-year-old kid are Pop Tarts, pizza, corn dogs and chicken nuggets. But mind you, they aren't just any chicken nuggets. They have to be Chicken McNuggets. And, as a good father, I must oblige and dine accordingly. (As in, he gets the 6-piece, and I get the 20-piece.)

What happens when you combine the hottest show on TV with the hottest boy-band on the planet? A mashup like none other. I give you Downton Abbey doing their version of One Direction's "What Makes You Beautiful".
After living in Arizona and having my son live in this school district, makes me glad we aren't sending our kids their schools...which by the way, ranker lower than Louisiana schools.
In case you didn't know, The Simpsons are up for an Oscar this year. Well, specifically Maggie Simpson.
