7-year-old goes on zoo rampage

A seven-year-old breaks into the local zoo. Sure, it's an unusual story, but you'd expect to hear that he just wanted to get a closer look at the animals and that his parents were relieved to find him safe and sound. What happened in Australia this ...

Biblically Correct Tours

What do you do if you are homeschooling your children (or even, I suppose, if you're not) and want to take a field trip to the natural history museum, but don't want your kids indoctrinated by all that made-up fantasy nonsense they call science? ...

Bindi Irwin gets her own clothing line

Cute little Bindi Irwin, daughter of the late Steve Irwin, aka the Crocodile Hunter, is creating her own little business empire. At 8-years-old, she has her own show on Discovery Kids, Bindi - The Jungle Girl, and now she's getting into the fashion ...

TV host abuses animals to show negative effects of animal abuse

Most adults have been in a situation where they've tried to show their child how to behave by demonstrating what not to do. But in this case, the adults involved completely miss the point. The host of this Hamas TV kid's program is apparently ...

Bindi Irwin rocks out for 9th birthday

Yesterday was Bindi Irwin's birthday, and to celebrate, the now 9-year-old media mogul threw a far cooler party than I've ever had for anything I've ever celebrated (and I'm 24). The main event was a performance by The Veronicas, a pop rock duo who ...

Teens taunt hippos to impress a girl

When I was in middle school, some of the boys in my class decided the best way to get a girl's attention was to hurt her. I mean, physically hurt her. For a period of about two weeks, a group of them went around school pinching girls on the neck as ...

ParentDish Sleepover for Sunday, July 8, 2007

This week was the Fourth of July, a holiday I used to celebrate by watching the movie musical 1776. Lately, however, it's been difficult for me to get excited; I don't hold out a lot of hope for Jefferson's America these days. Still, we had a fun day ...

Would you wear heels to the zoo?

I am continuously amazed when I see women wearing high heels to places like the zoo that require a lot of walking. Mind you, I don't mind in the least -- I enjoy the sight of a well-dressed woman and heels do stretch and shape the calves and thighs ...

Blogging Baby City Guide: Tulsa

This week, we're bringing City Guides to Tulsa, Oklahoma. I know, you're thinking "Tulsa?" but really, there's always something to do everywhere you go, sometimes you just have to look. My in-laws live in the Tulsa area, so we're always getting out ...

Woman is surrogate mom...to gorillas

Any time Barb Jones gets a "baby itch," she can just go to work. Jones, who is 68, is a primate nursery keeper at the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium in Ohio. Part of her job entails being a "surrogate mom" to the baby gorillas. That means she has to ...

I hate the zoo ... but I love the aquarium

As I told you before, I hate the zoo.  Luckily, my daughter Alex isn't that fond of the zoo either, so I don't feel a whole lot of pressure to visit it very often.  Funnily enough, however, I love aquariums.  For some reason, captive ...

Zoos: when did your kid start enjoying them?

Let it be known:  I hate the zoo.  Seriously, I loathe it.  Of course, the concept of the zoo isn't what bothers me -- I like the idea of having a place where you can see all the world's animals, where reseach can be conducted to help ...
