Amy Poehler opened up about motherhood with Ellen DeGeneres on Thursday, explaining that she can only have so much control over her two sons.

"They are boys, so they're kind of crazy," Poehler said on "Ellen" on September 20. "Mothers come over with daughters and we have play dates. My house is a little crazy - everyone's kind of running around, jumping off furniture. They'll bring their daughters over and the daughters will be like, 'Should we sit in the corner and cooperate?' My guys are like, 'I made chocolate soup.' They will just make dirt soup. And the girls are making like a birdhouse out of organic materials. It's different."
