On November 22, 1963, an unidentified woman placed a phone call to a news station, telling them John F Kennedy was about to be killed. The call was placed about 20 minutes before his assassination, from the vicinity of Oxnard, California, about fifty miles northwest of Los Angeles.

During the early years of the Tour de France, guzzling alarming amounts of alcohol was the norm. Beer, wine, and brandy were considered safer to drink than water from questionable roadside wells or springs, and cyclists drank copiously.

Before asbestos was seen as hazardous, a Han dynasty general had a jacket made from it. He would pretend to spill wine on it at dinners. Then he’d throw it into a fire and pull it out to show it was still intact to impress his guests.

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.
And they never heard from her again.

When God opens a window, he also loses a lid.
Ahh so being a parent is mostly walking round the house putting lids on stuff your child has left out and being married is mostly waking round the house closing windows your husband has opened.

Do you know how to raise a child?
No seriously, I’m asking. Because I don’t. And the prospect that I will likely someday have to is freaking me out a little more each day.
I’ve been trying to find advice on the internet but I just keep looking at memes. Maybe they can help?
Let’s find out with these fifteen parenting gems.
Wednesday will not be pleased to hear about this.

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.
@polygonmarket 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.

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.
Mmm, you smell like lack of bug bites.

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.
@chubbybeagle With permission from this icon’s mother, @cosbyt8 , here is the only movement recorded during her 6 minute performance #dancrecital #legend
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!
