Lamborghini prams and LEGO runs

We are back from a one-week hiatus after sick kids, with all-new parent news stories! With the news so heavy the last week, all the parent stories have been on the sidelines - so we are here to catch you up and have a laugh together.

Sam starts us off with a fun fact about parenting, and that funny parents have been studied and proven to be more effective parents. Which, of course, opens up the debate to who is actually a funny parent and his request to bring back dad jokes to the podcast.

Then we do yays and nays - with the promise NOT to whinge about sickness, instead celebrating it with Bec doing a double yay - being grateful for the airfryer and spewy matts - two items she wasn't convinced she needed but was happy to be proved wrong. Sam is naying the unfiltered kid cough, but yaying that losing their voices made the tantrums easier to deal with (silver linings, right?).

Into the parent news and the headlines we have this week are:

- A mum breaking the world record for the fastest barefoot LEGO run, running 100m in 24.75 seconds.

- A grandparent in Sydney accidentally took home the wrong child - scary but true!

- A footballer in the States who almost missed his shot at the NFL because his kids were watching Bluey

- Lamborghini teams up with Silver Cross to make a super stroller (yes - a Lambo-pram!)

- The Whitehouse would like people to know Stephen Miller does not play with dolls

- And discover Blankets from Ben, a beautiful initiative by a mum who lost her son and is helping bring comfort to others.

We then imagine a haunted house, but instead of people jumping out at you, it's just full of toddlers who missed their naps. That is a call out to send us your creepy kid stories!
