You Will Cry Laughing at This Mom's Instructions to Her Husband For Watching the Kids
"I'm writing this to you out of love, not fear," starts Meghan Maza Oeser in a letter to her husband that outlines instructions for watching their kids while she's away. "I wanted to go over a few things with you before you embark on this weekend alone . . . with the others." In the letter, Oeser details everything from meal preferences to which sippy cup is acceptable for bedtime, and the way she describes her children's antics will make you fall off your chair laughing.
"Upon arriving home after work, things won't seem so bad. The others will hug, jump, and for the most part, be pretty excited to see you. This will be short lived . . . I promise." Oeser continues by disguising horror stories as directives that will help her husband "survive" the weekend:
Dinner will suck. Bailey will want pizza, while Harper will ask for hot dogs. Quinn will cry when you say the word hot dog, and will insist on mac n cheese (not the orange kind or the white kind, but the purple kind). We'll be fresh out of the purple kind, so she'll ask for toast. You'll already have started making mac n cheese for Penny, but since she heard Quinn ask for toast, she'll also want that toast.
You'll want to sit down and relax after dinner, but I'm warning you against this. It will get quiet...REAL quiet. This is when you'll realize that the threenager has fallen asleep somewhere. Do NOT let the threenager fall asleep. You're basically f*cked if this happens.
Pajamas. F*CK pajamas. Don't even ATTEMPT anything but a nightgown for Penny. And if you cannot find a nightgown for Penny, keep f*cking looking. She'll ask for her Minnie Mouse nightgown, but once you put it on, she'll scream in agony because the sleeves are CLEARLY ripping her f*cking arms off. Just find her Elsa one. Chances are, it's dirty as sh*t, but so what . . .
Quinn, Harper, and Bailey will go down seamlessly. Just wait. As they lie in their beds, they'll then realize that their tiny mouths are on God damned fire . . . They will come down one by one every god damned five minutes for water. Don't let ANYONE use Quinn's pink Elsa cup. If she sees this, she will lose her holy sh*t.
Breakfast. . . . Penny might want cereal, or she'll go for toast. Whatever you do LET HER PICK HER SPOON. Chances are, Quinn will have the ULTIMATE spoon, and Penny will convince you that you've left her with the sh*ttiest spoon in the bunch. Sometimes I'll give her a fork, and then flip her off.
Oeser ends her hilarious note with a few more good lucks, a subtle jab at him, and a simple, yet incredible, "Kisses." Read the whole incredible thing above.

The Top iPhone 7 Rumors, Including 1 About Its Release
It feels like the iPhone 6S and 6S Plus just hit shelves, but the tech world is already abuzz with rumors about Apple's next installment, the iPhone 7. Much of the speculation is taking place on the Chinese version of Twitter, Weibo.
However, despite all the rumors flying on Weibo and other sites, the Wall Street Journal reports that the iPhone 7 will not have any significant changes, other than removing the headphone jack. The next iteration of iPhone's will also keep the 4.7 inch and 5.5 inch display size. The report further suggests that "bigger design changes" will happen in 2017, which is the 10th anniversary of the iPhone. Those changes might include an upgrade to an OLED screen.
Ahead are the other rumors that you can expect when the iPhone 7 comes around.
- A September release date: Evan Blass, a reliable source on Apple leaks, tweeted that the iPhone 7 will arrive on September 16. We can expect this one to be true, since most launch events occur around that time.
- A better camera: A new leak that originally surfaced on Weibo show a prototype iPhone 7, reports 9to5Mac. The photo shows a larger camera lens that will most likely be able to take better pictures with poor lighting. The raised camera lens is still on the phone.
- An iPhone without a headphone connection: Several sources are speculating that the next iPhone will no longer come with a headphone jack. Instead, people can either use earphones that can connect in the Lightning port or use wireless Bluetooth ones. Some people are extremely upset about this change and over 200,000 have even signed a petition against it.
- Bigger battery: The new iPhone will comes with a battery that's bigger than current ones - a 3100 mAh battery to be exact, according to Chinese website MyDrivers . This doesn't necessarily mean longer battery life, but we can only hope.
- A 256GB storage option: Current iPhone models come in 16GB, 64GB, and 128GB storage options, so the 256GB model would be a nice option if the leak reported by MyDrivers is true.
- A completely waterproof phone: Mac Otakara also claims that early iPhone 7 prototypes are both dustproof and waterproof, reports Mashable.
- Liquid Metal body: Because Apple owns patents with Liquid Metal Inc., many rumors suggest that the next iPhone will skip plastic and aluminum bodies in favor of a new material.
- A completely flat LCD screen: Forget curved edges - Apple will reportedly stick to a classic, flat-screened iPhone model.
- A barely there home button: The home button you know and click, might go away for a more "touch-sensitive" one, according to 9to5Mac. The rumors, coming from Chinese site, Storm, state that the new phone would use haptic feedback (the same technology behind 3D Touch), to replace the home button.
- Smart connector: The popular feature on the iPad Pro might be coming to the larger iPhone 7 model. A new leak from OnLeaks shows the smart connector, which lets you transfer data and power between the keyboard and iPad Pro. If it's on the new iPhone, it opens up the possibilities of new accessories to use with it.
- A new color: A new rumor reported by 9to5Mac via Mac Otakara, speculates that the space grey color will no longer be available and instead, a deep blue color will replace it. A designer then mocked up what the phone could look like in such a color. However, Italian blog Macitynet posted supposed photos of the new devices and no blue color was shown. Another rumor from TechTastic shows off another new color: a space black iPhone. This might be one rumor we won't get any confirmation until the phones are out.
- Wireless charging: Start saying goodbye to chargers that bend and break. According to a report by Bloomberg, Apple might introduce wireless charging for its smartphones in 2017. A charger would still exist but the iPhone could charge over the air. No word yet on how far you can be from a charger to do this.
The one rumor that doesn't appear true is the dual camera that Apple Insider once suggested would appear on the iPhone 7 Plus. According to a new report from Cult of Mac, the technology isn't ready yet, so it won't appear on the new phone.
That's ok, considering the rest of these changes would be pretty drastic. What do you hope Apple will change about the iPhone 7?

27 Pokémon Toys For Your Kids That Won't Drain Your Family Data Plan
Since early July many of us have watched as our children walk around consumed by Pokémon Go - catching Pikachus in the park and Eevees in the living room - and the most draining part of it is, well, the data-draining.

Just Looking at Angelina Jolie's Shopping Outfit Will Make You Feel Like a Movie Star
We can't say we'd think to wear Angelina Jolie's latest look on a shopping trip. It's not that we don't own a pleated white dress, neutral ballet flats, and a crossbody bag - these are all basic staples, after all. But the actress and director makes her pieces look so chic, especially when swathed in an oversize shawl.
"You know, it does get awfully cold in the mall," we thought to ourselves as soon as we saw her. If there ever was a pristine method for layering in the Summer, this would be it. Read on to see how Angelina styled her asymmetrical silhouette with Gianvito Rossi shoes, a taupe Saint Laurent accordion bag, dark aviators, and silver jewels, then shop her seasonally appropriate separates and wear them just as glamorously.

People Across the Globe Are All Sending a Mom the Exact Same Shirt From Target
Behold, the power of Facebook: Deborah Skouson, the mother of a girl with autism, updated her status last week with a call to action to her 500-odd Facebook friends.
Her daughter, Cami, has become attached to one very specific shirt, and it's now the only top she'll wear. Her mom is desperate to find another one, but there's one problem: it's discontinued.
"For the past 4 to 5 years, she has been fixated on THIS shirt," Skouson wrote on her Facebook page. "She got her first one in kindergarten five years ago, and we have found four more since then, mostly on eBay. Her current one is almost unwearable, and eBay has gone dry. "
The shirt, from Target's popular Circo brand, was sold in 2011-2012 and is pink with a flower print.
In her plea, Skouson offered to pay for the shirt and shipping for anyone who has the exact shirt . . . in any size. "It has to be this exact shirt," she added. "We've tried similar shirts, and they don't cut it with Cami!"
Nearly a week after her initial post, her story - along with a photo of Cami happily wearing the shirt - was shared on popular local news anchor Frank Somerville's Facebook page. In no time, Skouson's request went viral, with more than 22,000 shares combined. And miraculously, she's received 80 identical shirts so far – many internationally – with more on the way.
It seems Cami won't have to part with her beloved pink flower shirt just yet.

Cancel Halloween - This Adorable Baby Groot Costume Already Has It Beat
For fans of the latest Guardians of the Galaxy film adaptation, Groot quickly became a beloved character as the lethal but kind tree-like humanoid, hilariously voiced by Vin Deisel. The teeny baby Groot shown at the end of the film might just have an even bigger following.
At Boston Comic-Con, which began on Aug. 12, one couple shared a photo of their son dressed up as baby Groot and it has since won over the internet. On Imgur, the boy's mother wrote, "It's my husband's booth, and I can assure you no comics were injured in the process. Since he can't stand, we supported most of the weight."
The incredible costume even caught the attention of Guardians of the Galaxy director James Gunn, who shared the photo on his Instagram with a caption jokingly referring to it as the first still from the film's sequel.

The First Look at E!'s Rob & Chyna Shows the Many Sides of Their Roller Coaster Relationship
The first look at Rob Kardashian and Blac Chyna's upcoming docu-series on E!, Rob & Chyna, is here, and to call it dramatic would be an understatement. As cute shots of the engaged couple and parents-to-be flood the screen, the romance is quickly interrupted with another clip of Chyna screaming into her phone, "Are you still texting b*tches, yes or no?" Aside from showcasing details about their romance, including Chyna's shaky introduction into the Kardashian family, the six-episode series will also focus on her pregnancy. If this sneak peek is only a small taste of what's to come when the show premieres on Sept. 11, it may even surpass Keeping Up With the Kardashians.

On Friday, the movie's official Facebook page thanked the "Fast Family" by sharing a group shot of the whole cast on set.

This INSANE Optical Illusion Will Make You Question Everything You Ever Thought You Knew
So first of all, an "Illusion of the Year" contest exists. Let that sink in for second. Cool. Now this year, a finalist created an "ambiguous cylinder illusion" and after watching this mind-bending video, you will 100 percent be either thinking (or perhaps screaming) "WTF". The optical illusion uses a mirror to turn circles into squares and squares into circles and I promise you - you will NOT be able to figure out how the hell the whole thing works.
If you give up and simply MUST know the hows and whys of the the cylinder illusion, you're in luck. Thanks to a wise YouTube user and some 3D printing, we can (sort of/kind of) understand how it works now. Check out the original video, then follow up with the explanation video, and prepare to be as intrigued by the logistics of the illusion as much as with the illusion itself.

Even Celine Dion Worships at the Altar of Pop Sensation Sia
On Thursday, Billboard published a new essay by Celine Dion, and it's all about Sia. In the piece, Dion tells the story of her song "Loved Me Back to Life," which is one of many songs Sia's written for other artists. The essay is more than just an anecdote; it serves high praise for the pop artist and carves her out as a true artist with a clear vision. To die-hard Sia fans, this should come as no surprise. Her most recent album, This Is Acting, is critically acclaimed and littered with brilliant but rejected pop songs. Her infectious attitude came across most saliently during her "Carpool Karaoke" session with James Corden. Perhaps it's just cool to see that Dion, a pop icon in her own right, sees that magic too. Check out her quotes (and listen to the song she mentions) below.
- On "Loved Me Back to Life," the song Sia wrote for her: "I not only fell in love with the song and the words, but also with Sia's absolutely beautiful voice: It's so powerful - like nothing I had ever heard. I listened to the demo 20 times in a row that day because her words spoke to me and I just couldn't get enough of her voice."
- On meeting Sia at The Ellen DeGeneres Show: "That day backstage was the first time we met. She is so genuine, so warm, so funny - I was the one who asked to take a photo with her."
- On Sia's career as a musician: "She's an artist with a clear vision - for her songs, her videos, her performances. This industry can break you; it's tough. But Sia has managed to carve out her own path, on her own terms and in her own time."
- On Sia: "I'm mesmerized by her confidence, and I constantly look forward to what she'll do next. She's the true definition of an artist, one I so deeply admire. I'm one of her biggest fans, and it has been such a joy and honor to get to know her."
American Horror Story: Which of These Trailers Is Actually Teasing Season 6?
We have a bunch of new teasers for American Horror Story's sixth season, and needless to say, we're still scratching our heads. A few teasers came out weeks ago, and we couldn't help but notice that they didn't feel, well, related in the slightest. Turns out that's because they're not. During the Summer TCA, FX Networks CEO John Landgraf revealed that the show's marketing team "went out and created many more trailers than you've actually seen for hypothetical seasons of American Horror Story, in different genres, different places. One of them is accurate, and the others are all misdirects." Wow. "There is a theme and a setting and a place and time, but we're not going to reveal it because we think it will be fun for the audience to have the surprise this year." So we were right all along about the network purposely not releasing information!
For now, we can only speculate about the return of the Antichrist and a sinister cult. With an official premiere date of Sept. 14, we'll have our answer soon enough.

Not feeling the Vue experience or price? Sling Blue offers a very similar service to the PlayStation option, as you can watch it on all your devices. However, Sling is compatible with Microsoft's Xbox but not the PlayStation. Keep in mind as well that Sling only allows you to watch live - not events you may have missed. - Old-Fashioned Antenna ($10-$150):
If you're really not into all the apps, devices, and subscriptions, there is another option: take it old school and get yourself an antenna to watch TV over the airwaves - free of charge. Key point to remember: this option is completely contingent on the reception you can get wherever you're planning to watch the games. If you're willing to take a risk for the cheapest option, this is the way to go! - Bars/Restaurants (price based on what you eat or drink):
Never underestimate the power of a good Google search! Many bars and restaurants across the country are actively advertising which events they'll be showing and it's a great way to meet new people or gather with old friends. - NBC (price varies based on cable provider):
If you're still among the corded, you can watch on one of the 11 NBC-owned channels, stream on the NBC website, or stream through the NBC Sports app on your smartphone, tablet, Apple TV, Roku, Fire TV, or Chromecast. The biggest selling point here is that it's the only way that you can access the Olympic feeds in 4K definition and VR via Oculus Rift, if you're into that type of experience.
The 1 Reason Olympic Medalists Aren't Getting Flowers This Year
The medal ceremonies at this year's Olympics are full of the regular pomp and circumstance except for one notable exception: flowers are no longer part of it. The absence of the flowers has left viewers confused and most importantly wondering why Olympic medalists are receiving a paperweight instead. The short answer? Sustainability.
Rio needs to cut it out with these tiny statues no one wants to hold. Just give them the FLOWERS. #Olympics
- Jordan Crucchiola (@JorCru) August 8, 2016
The 2016 Olympics main theme this year is around sustainability, with the majority of the torch relay focusing on stories around it. It's also why flowers were done away with this year, since it's not a gift most athletes treasure anyway. "We give it to an athlete, and very often they just throw it away," said Christy Nicolay, the executive producer of the victory ceremonies to The New York Times. Instead, the winners are receiving a sculpture of the Rio Olympics logo.
The logo, designed by Fred Gelli and his design studio Tátil,"shows three figures joining hands and feet," reports Curbed. It was designed as a 3D-model - making it easy to turn it into a sculpture for athletes.
It's not clear yet what the next Olympic's might have for athletes in lieu of flowers.

This Artist Used Body Paint to Create the Best Optical Illusion We've Seen Yet

Johannes Stötter is known for transforming humans into the shape of animals. You'll understand his real specialty, though, after seeing how he turned three women into a sculpture of a wolf. When you first watch the video, you'll only notice the wolf. Then, after the person steps out of formation, you'll realize that the animal is actually composed of people! Thanks to the detailed shading and coloring of body paint, all three literally morphed into one being. It may take you a minute to figure it out, but once you see it, you'll be completely mesmerized.
First you see a wolf:

Everyone reacts to stress differently. Some get quiet, some crack jokes, and others just can't seem to stop talking. And while there's nothing more nerve-racking for a new dad than being helpless in the delivery room, that's just no excuse for some of the asinine things that come out of their mouths.
We asked real moms, "What's the most ridiculous thing your partner said in the delivery room?" and some (if not most!) of the comments had us wondering how these dads ever made it out of the hospital alive.
- "'There it is! There it is!.... Nope, you sucked it back in!'" - Jen
- "They brought a doctor in to manually massage my uterus, which means that a woman I had never met was quite literally elbow deep in my hoo-ha. He said, 'Normally I'd be jealous of someone getting that deep in my wife, but since you saved her life and all, I'm going to let it go.'" - Jacey
- "With my firstborn, the ex asked the doctor no more than an hour after delivering when I could start working out to get back in shape. Yeah, he was a special kind of stupid." - Amanda-Rae

Doctor: 'Not in her current condition'
Me: 'Induce honey, induce!' #truestory" - Brenda - "He looks at me and says, 'Honey, you are only at a zero and have ten cm to go. You better toughen up!'" - Crystal

- "If I knew this was going to take so long I would have worn more comfortable shoes.... ." - Vanessa

Here's Another Harry Potter Detail We Can't Believe We Never Noticed Before
J.K. Rowling always surprises us with the amount of detail she poured into Harry Potter, and it feels like every day we learn something new about the series. Reddit user SunshineallDay's fan theory provides more evidence of how much Rowling hid in her books.
It might be hard to catch when you're first reading, but look a little closer and you'll see it. The fun Easter egg shows how Hermione's character learned Wizard Baruffio wasn't the most intelligent in The Sorcerer's Stone from Professor Flitwick. Later in The Order of the Phoenix, Harry and Ron are tempted to drink Baruffio's Brain Elixir before their O.W.L.s, but Hermione clearly recalls their lesson and pours the drink down the toilet. An image from the books highlighting these two passages is below.

As if we needed another reminder of how sharp Hermione is! Really, what impressed us most about this is Rowling's memory - and that we can keep rereading the books and find more fun coincidences like this.
