Now, as we watch our toddlers destroy grocery stores and eat grass, we can't help but wish that parenting them was just a bit easier. On cue, in steps our administration with "Alternative Facts," a movement that allows people to create realities exempt from actual facts. And people say the federal government shouldn't be involved in our daily lives.

With this in mind, what follows is a list of 21 alternative facts that would make raising small children SO much easier. No, alternative facts are not facts. But here's to wishing they were.
