Tweets That Parents Will Absolutely Understand

I grew up with two sisters and my memory of the early years is a little hazy but I’m fairly sure we were all absolute terrors.

At the time it was easy to look at my parents as killjoys who wanted nothing in this world but to engender my perpetual disappointment, but in retrospect, I think we’re lucky they didn’t sell us to a passing circus or something. Because kids can be…a lot.

To illustrate what I’m talking about, here are ten tweets from parents who know the struggle all too well.

10. Once upon a time…

And they never heard from her again.

9. Tips and tricks

“Clean enough” might as well be the name of my autobiography.

8. Beat the spread

For instance, my patience.

7. Get this bread

He wants to be a part of the upper crust.

6. Clean up your language

How about YOU do that.

5. A simple request

Oh well, guess we’ll try again tomorrow.

4. For the record

Plague be damned, no one can endure this sort of torment.

3. Killing time

Life before the internet was somehow weirder than life before the internet.

2. Coffee break

Come on in, pull up a shirt.

1. Making the rounds

When God opens a window, he also loses a lid.

To the parents out there dealing with the joys and pains of raising a kid, I salute you. From my bed. Where I can nap. Because I don’t have kids. Good luck!

Do you have kids? What’s the experience been like?

Two Friends “Parent Trapped” Their Folks and Documented the Success for All to See

Ready for a wholesome love story? I know I am!

So here’s the story: two best friends in San Jose, California, named Catherine and Allison had single parents so they decided it would be a good idea to “Parent Trap” them, or set them up on a date.

The two friends didn’t know how it would work out, but their parents ended up having a great connection.

Here’s a short version of Allison telling the story on TikTok.

Is this real life? ✨? #modernfamily #lovestory #storytime #tiktokvlog

Allison went into more depth about the love connection when she talked to Buzzfeed.

She said,

“We’d often discuss our mutual desire to help them each find love. We hadn’t even thought about introducing them.

Her mom had always had bad luck with men, and my dad was so hesitant to even put himself out there. I think they had both been single for 10+ years.”

Allison continued,

“The more we talked about it, the more we realized they had a lot of very random things in common (their mutual obsession with Mamma Mia, their favorite jazz artist Diana Krall, and their deep love and connection to their favorite local restaurant, The Pastaria & Market).”

Look at how cute these two are today!

Allison went on,

“We knew they would be reluctant to go on a blind date, so it took us a while to figure out how to make it happen.

We decided to stage an impromptu run-in at a local park concert to relieve any pressure.

Plans fell through, so we decided to postpone the idea until further notice.”

And last, but certainly not least…

“The day the original plan was supposed to happen (Father’s Day), we ran into them completely coincidentally at a local winery!

We were shook!

We knew it was meant to be somehow.

Catherine’s mom (Terry) agreed to let her give my dad her number, and the rest was history!”

How’s that for fate?!?!

The couple is still together and loving life together.

What a great story! Remember folks, there are a ton of fish in the sea and you’re never too old to find love.

Memes That Southerners Will Totally Understand

I’m from the midwest, not the south, but it felt like there were some cultural elements that sort of sifted up our way, especially via my dad. As a result, I’ve always felt a sort of half-kinship with Southern culture coupled with a lot of baffled feelings toward just what the heck is going on down there.

To help me understand, here are what I’m told are some very quality southern memes.

10. Can’t beat the deet

Mmm, you smell like lack of bug bites.

9. Peas and thank you

It’s gonna take me the rest of my life to get over “Qcomebur.”

8. Bitter truth

What in the name of all that is good is this supposed to be?

7. Drive by saluting

I remember growin up in a town small enough that everyone did this without even knowing each other.

6. Deep breaths

I like how he’s being classy with the wine glass though.

5. Drive me crazy

They’re a lot easier to catch, too.

4. Rev your engines

How am I supposed to enjoy my pound of meat now?

3. Oh deer

This was the bane of my existence as a kid.

2. Signed, Cooter

I once walked into my own house and got growled at by a giant dog I’d never seen before.

1. You lift me up

This gives new meaning to the term “marriage bed.”

I’m not sure I totally understand Southern culture now, but I’m getting there. Ya’ll come back now, ya hear?

What’s the most distinctive thing about where you grew up?

A Little Girl Didn’t Move a Single Muscle During a Dance Recital and People Loved It

Legends are not made, they’re born…is that how the saying goes? Or something kind of like that…?

Whatever the case, I think you’ll agree with me very shortly that a 4-year-old girl named Charlie will now forever be remembered for her hilarious and defiant attitude that came out in full force during a dance recital that was thankfully captured on video.

The little girl’s name is Charlie and, as you’ll see in the videos below, she stood motionless and refused to move a single muscle during the recital while wearing a tutu for six whole minutes while her fellow dancers got down to business.

@chubbybeagle

Went to my niece’s outdoor dance recital and witnessed this legend. #dancrecital #legend

Charlie’s mother, Tiffany Cosby, didn’t realize her daughter become TikTok famous until a co-worker told her about it.

Tiffany asked her daughter why she stood motionless during the recital and Charlie replied, “there were a lot of people.” Well, she’s not wrong about that…

At the end of the recital, Charlie finally did give in and she decided to dance just a little bit when she was moved away from being front and center…I guess she just couldn’t resist.

Tiffany said about Charlie,

“We were actually shocked she did dance in the finale.

I honestly think it was because she was in the back row.

She is really animated and outgoing if it’s in a small group of people she knows.”

This kid is a riot!
