0:00.0	Do not feed your kids Cheerios.
0:03.0	Alright, see what happens when I don't.
0:06.0	I was at the doctor's office today and had to bring my 15-month-old twins with me.
0:11.0	These kiddos do not enjoy being cooped up in a stroller,

1:13.9	Oh my God, you've got to stop walking up and down that back area.
