Adorable TikTok Videos From Adults Who Still Sleep With Their Childhood Blankie

If you’re an adult who still has your favorite blanket or lovey or stuffed animal from childhood – even if you still sleep with it in your bed – it turns out you’re not alone.

I still have a white polar bear that has been with me since I was a wee lass. I have passed it on to my youngest, though, stuffing it in his crib every night in the hopes that it becomes his favorite, too.

These 7 grown people aren’t afraid to show the world their childhood loves, though, so please enjoy these 7 totally wholesome TikToks.

7. I think it’s the song that really makes it.

And the fact that he has zero shame. It’s charming.

@coreyxnathanielBABY BLANKET CHECKKKKK ##fyp ##4u ##babyblanket ##xposedmyself♬ original sound – coreyxnathaniel

6. Oh man this thing is holding on for dear life.

You’d better wash that thing by hand.

@olb15Exposing myself for the first tiktok? ##fyp ##foryoupage ##babyblankets ##ireallyhatemyself♬ original sound – coreyxnathaniel

5. No man this needs to go.

That is just a shred of material she’s going to hang herself.

@gabbinaturmani think i win the baby blanket challenge, wbu??? ##fyp ##babyblankets ##blanketchallenge This took 21 years of devotion, taking my blanket everywhere♬ original sound – coreyxnathaniel

4. Okay, but…that’s not really a blankie.

Also, she’s NEVER WASHED IT I am shook.

@kayla.deters24Sad to say but nothing is worse than my knot baby blankets? ##knot ##babyblankets ##abcdfgh ##justwhy ##fyp♬ original sound – sneakyneeeky

3. That one looks like it has one of those nice silky edges.

Perfect to touch while you fall asleep, right?

2. I kind of want to know how that hole got in there.

But also I think I probably don’t want to know.

@boyalmightymy mom got him when she was six months pregnant with me ? ##fyp ##babyblankets ##babyblanketcheck♬ original sound – coreyxnathaniel

1. She has the best pictures.

It’s a real non-evolution up in here.

@maddierogulathis sound was made for me. wherever I go, it follows ##fyp ##foryoupage ##foryou ##babyblanketcheck ##babyblanket ##babyblankets♬ original sound – coreyxnathaniel

I don’t know why this warms my heart so much but it definitely does.

Can you relate? Tell us what you still sleep with in the comments!

Funny Parenting Tweets You Won’t Want to Miss

There are a lot of sayings out there about how you have to laugh so you won’t cry, or that laughter is the best medicine, or you have to laugh or you’ll just lose your shit…or maybe those are all kind of the same thing.

All I know is that when it comes to 24/7 parenting with young kids (or older kids, or any kids), knowing there are other parents out there doing it all along with you can really make all the difference.

So please, sit back and have a half at the expense of these 15 parents…because today, it isn’t you.

15. This just warms my heart every time I see it.

I need to get my kids some friends so they won’t need me to play with them all the time.

14. “Oh, you already ate? I guess I’ll just cook that delicious gourmet meal I had planned tomorrow night.”

Wash, rinse, repeat…just don’t forget to stock up on cereal.

13. Sure, that’s a good try, kid.

Time is relative anyway, so.

12. I don’t understand why whispering is so hard.

But I do understand why it’s good that you can hear what you under-five is saying at all times.

11. Dads don’t make the rules, they just follow them.

How would you know you were talking to a dad otherwise?

10. We go back and forth on the talking thing so many times over the course of 18 years.

We can’t wait for them to talk, then we can’t wait for them to shut up, and on and on.

9. If you have little kids, they’re all broken when you do find them.

Also so are the crayons and why do none of the markers have lids?

8. Yes and remember they will always repeat everything you say.

So watch it. I mean, if you care about that sort of thing.

7. Ah, so it’s not just my 3yo.

He would eat cookies and popsicles all day and then wonder why his stomach hurt if I let him.

6. One day they’ll be gone.

You can have hobbies and a clean house, at least until they want you to babysit the grandkids.

5. The penguin might smell worse.

In theory.

4. Someone is cruising for a bruising.

It’s like he knows nothing about his own mother.

3. Hardy har-har I would expect nothing less.

Dads gotta dad, y’all. Like I said.

2. Parents definitely need to know how quickly a toddler can bust something.

It’s directly related to how much you’re willing to pay for it.

1. Cat parents really take this whole gig very seriously.

And honestly cats just don’t care one bit.

These are slaying me! Kids are so great and also so awful all at once, right?

Relationship Tweets That Just Might Make You Laugh

Any time you get two people trying to live and eat and work and raise kids together in a confined space, while somehow still loving each other like sexy human beings, they’re also pretty darn funny.

These 10 tweets totally prove it, so we hope they’re good for a few laughs!

10. Why is this so real, though?

I’m starting to think queer people are onto something.

9. You guys I am married and this is the perfect tweet.

RIP everyone who was going to spend their early 20s traveling.

8. Here all this time you thought you wanted to be a Disney princess.

But now you see they have their own troubles.

7. One day our kids will ask us what this lyric meant.

Please, don’t let this be prophetic.

6. Was there laughter or impressed silence?

I think we all know the answer to that.

5. These two are clearly a match made in heaven.

When you find the one, you just know.

4. We’ve all got a bit too much time on our hands.

And yet, this meme never really gets old.

3. There are never any winners in this game.

Except the divorce attorneys.

2. Barney is never a good idea.

You can put that one down in stone.

1. And getting thinner all the time.

I’m not saying… but yeah, we’re kind of saying.

It’s just nice to know that we’re all in this together, don’t you think? Life is so weird!

Which one of these did you relate to the most? Tell us in the comments!

Two Gay Texans Connect Over Their Moms’ Obsessions with Crucifixes

This is not news, but Texas has a lot of Christian people in it. In fact, around 75% of the people in that state identify as such. Texas has a population of around 29 million, so that’s close to 22 million adherents in the friendly state (that’s the slogan they gave themselves, “The Friendly State,” which sounds nice, I guess? If not vaguely threatening?)

Suffice it to say, being a Christian in Texas is like being a deer in the woods. Nobody’s gonna be surprised or confused to see you there. Which is what made this post by Tumblr user indiedrone so funny, and the story that it set off so priceless.

1. The big reveal

Gesturing deadpan to a wall containing no fewer than 20 decorative crucifixes, indiedrone writes:

2. Soul mates

Not to be outdone, a fellow Texan who goes by the screen name fullblownpanic uploaded a picture presenting a wall of at least 25 crosses.

3. A match made in Heaven?

What are the odds that these two would see each other here, and have such perfectly matching images to contribute? Some speculated it might be a sign. But then, a twist…

4. Happy ending

It turns out, they weren’t just playing. They both really were gay youths living in Texas with very religious moms who had quite similar taste in decor. They got to talking, became friends, and eventually met up at a Pride festival in Houston!

The internet is quite a strange place. It can bring together people who live worlds apart, or help two kids who are practically neighbors find each other. You never know who you might cross paths with on Tumblr.

…I’m sorry, I’ll show myself out.

What’s the craziest coincidence you’ve come across online? Tell us the story in the comments.

When Your Kids’ Friends Are Allowed to Play Again, but He or She Still Can’t

Life isn’t fair. It’s a hard lesson that everyone learns at some point, usually at an age younger than we’d really like to force it on our sweet, innocent littles.

That seems to be truer than ever these days with coronavirus dampening spirits and social lives all over the globe. What makes it even harder is that, especially in the States, no two people are assessing risk and acting accordingly in the exact same way.

Which means that saying things like “I don’t care what so-and-so is doing, I’m not so-and-sos mom!” are making a comeback in a big, unpleasant way.

What are you saying to your kids if you and your family are taking a more cautious approach to breaking quarantine, while their friends are getting together and enjoying their summers? How are you talking to them about why, and are they understanding?

There’s a good chance you’re hearing big sighs, and that they’re the “only one” stuck at home.

You know this isn’t true. You know there are other parents following the strict safety regulations just like there will be other kids who aren’t allowed to date until a certain age, can’t ride in a car with a new driver, can’t go to that party where no parents will be home…but that doesn’t make it any easier.

It’s hard, too, because we the parents also want to go and see our friends. We want to leave you kids home with sitters and have dinner out, we want to go to the movies. We want to get YOU out of the house, because it makes all of us happier.

Here’s the thing, though – we have to remember it’s a good lesson to learn. We all have to make the best decisions for ourselves and our families, even when it’s hard. We have to learn how to say no to things that make us uncomfortable, even if the cool kids are going.

If they don’t like you because of it, they were never really your friends to begin with, right?

Image Credit: Pexels

The best you can do is explain the reasons for your decisions, give them relevant reading material that’s age appropriate, and promise that things will get better.

They can understand, even if they don’t like it. They can follow the rules even if they don’t want to.

It’s just one of many steps to becoming an adult, and in the end, teaching them how to do that is your most important job.

Street Artist’s 3D Chalk Illustrations Are Really Great

I’ve seen a lot of chalk art on the street and on sidewalks lately when I’ve been taking walks, but I’ve never in my life seen anything quite like the chalk art of a man named David Zinn.

He creates really cool, 3-D chalk art of little creatures and animals and he uses the street as his canvas.

He describes his work this way: “Street artist specializing in small-scale, improvised and (mostly) light-hearted chalk art.”

Let’s take a look at his art.

Be sure to check out Zinn’s book on Amazon, as well!

1. The Sandbag Bandit.

Even though he’s a bandit, you have to admit that he’s pretty cute.

2. Happy birthday to you!

The owl even has a cake for you.

3. He loves me…

He loves me not…

4. Look what I found.

You never know what you’ll discover.

5. This must be the place!

Use your time wisely!

6. Looks like a good spot.

To kick back and relax.

7. Lost in a foreign land.

And trying to navigate your way through it.

8. I love this one.

One cookie per day.

9. Two good friends.

Just taking it all in.

10. Love is love.

And you can see it on display in this drawing.

11. The tools of the trade.

When pigs fly…

12. You have a new buddy.

Enjoy it!

Zinn’s work is really great, don’t you think?

Now we want to hear from you!

In the comments, please tell us some other cool artists we should be following on social media.

Thanks in advance. We can’t wait to hear from you!
