Amy Poehler on Raising Boys: 'Sometimes You Need to Straight Up Yell at Them'

Today in our “Amy Poehler Is the Best Thing Ever” series, the object of our affection stopped by Ellen to promote the new season of Parks and Recreation and talk about parenting her two boys Archie and Abel. Leave it to Poehler to speak of celebrity motherhood in a way that’s hilarious, endearing and relatable. While most famous parents would have you ripping your own hair out as they tell stories about their cute kids, Amy Poehler leaves you welling up with laughter. The only ugly thing about this interview is that we weren’t all invited to hang out — an afternoon with Amy and Ellen sounds like a hell of a time.
