| “Dad, I’m going to squeeze a few extra months of life just to be able to drive this.” |
| Many parents swear that a child’s first car should be a “beater.” First, it teaches them to have something to strive for in life. Second, the kid will probably put some nicks and scratches on the car, so it’s best to start with something where no one will care. Third, the insurance will be cheaper. |
| Finally, a kid should have to earn having nice things and starting them off with a brand new Mercedes isn’t going to instill much work ethic. |
| Even though a large number of parents say a teen’s first car should be a clunker, many are applauding Joe Tegerdine, a father in Springville, Utah, and his wife Kerry for buying their son Joseph, 18, a 330-horsepower 2020 Ford Mustang. |
| Unfortunately, Joseph has osteosarcoma, a rare form of bone cancer and has already outlived his prognosis. |

| Hitting millennials and Gen Zers right where they’re at. |
| In the wake of the docuseries “Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV,” kids who grew up watching Nickelodeon are reeling a bit. The documentary unveiled a toxic culture of abuse and exploitation at the network, tainting 90s kids’ childhood memories with disturbing behind-the-scenes details of their favorite shows. |
| But a beacon of light from Nickelodeon still shines in Steve from “Blue’s Clues.” Steve Burns may have broken children’s hearts when he left the show to go to college, but the beloved host has remained a wholesome icon for millennials and Gen Zers who watched him growing up. |
| In fact, Steve is still bringing comfort to millions, and his latest video on TikTok is a perfect example of how. In a one-minute TikTok, he says only a handful of words, but people are finding themselves tearing up if not outright bawling by the end of it. |

| Graduations can be emotional no matter if it’s preschool, high school or college. Something about watching a loved one close one chapter to open a new one just does something to you. But sometimes people have a few more challenges getting across the stage that make it feel even sweeter. |
| One new mom, Kisha Rose Woodhouse, who goes by @kiisha.rose on TikTok, became pregnant and gave birth while finishing up her college degree. Clearly, determined to finish, Woodhouse walked across the stage at graduation with her baby on her hip. But that wasn’t what got people all choked up while seeing her video, it was Woodhouse’s partner who stood alone in the auditorium. |

| Maybe the rest of us could learn from them. |
| By the end of her first week living in Denmark, Helen Russell was worried about her husband’s brand-new job. |
| She explained in an article she wrote for Stylist that she was sure Lego had fired him already because he kept coming home early. |
| Originally from the U.K., Russell was used to her home country’s work customs, where late nights and long hours were worn as a badge of honor. She felt surprised and embarrassed when her husband first came home from work in the early afternoon — she’d hardly started her own day of freelance writing. |
