[Toddler reacts to her dad shaving his beard in the sweetest way possible]( The first time a child sees their normally bearded dad without any facial hair can go a number of ways. Some kids cry and scream in terror, wondering who destroyed their father's face. Others stare in confusion, unsure of what to make of it. And then there's this little sweetheart. Ellie told her dad that she didn't like his beard and asked him to "take it off." So he did. At first, she's a bit taken aback. "Hey, why did you take it off?" she asked. (Ah, toddlers, always not wanting what they just said they wanted.) Then she asked if he'd put it in the back of his head. Then it just got sweeter and sweeter. [Read the Story](
[Some joyful genius recreated 'The Sopranos' opening but with an orangutan and zoo animals]( Earlier this month, Stephen Colbert blew humanityâs collective mind by showing a video of a female orangutan driving a golf cart. Not only was the monkey an accomplished motorist but she drove in style with just one hand on the wheel, looking as cool and confident as any human. While Colbert joked that the orangutan was in Florida, it was actually part of a menagerie in Dubai belonging to Sheikha Fatima Rashed Al Maktoum, the daughter of Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the prime minister of the United Arab Emirates. The orangutan is named Rambo and has been driving various vehicles since she was young. A YouTube user by the name of SmelfordDip noticed the monkeyâs cool one-handed driving technique and something clicked. She drives just like Tony Soprano in the iconic opening credits of âThe Sopranos"! So he edited the video to mimic the sequence and added the showâs theme song "Woke Up This Morning" by Alabama 3. Smelfordip named the video âThe Zoopranosâ and asks âWhat if Tony Soprano was [a] monkey?" [Read the Story](
[15 hilarious parenting comics that are almost too real]( Brian Gordon is a cartoonist. He's also a dad, which means he's got plenty of inspiration for the parenting comics he creates for his website, Fowl Language (not all of which actually feature profanity). He covers many topics, but it's his hilarious parenting comics that are resonating with parents everywhere.
"My comics are largely autobiographical," Gordon tells me. "I've got two kids who are 4 and 7, and often, what I'm writing happened as recently as that very same day." Gordon shared 15 of his oh-so-real comics with us. They're all funny 'cause they're true.

In 1979, the Susan B. Anthony dollar coin honored the suffrage activist, Sacagawea was featured on a dollar coin in the 2000s and Hellen Keller got her own Alabama state quarter in 2003. The U.S. Mint was established in 1792, so in 230 years, we've had just three women represented on our coins. But that ratio is about to change dramatically. On Monday, the U.S. Mint launched its American Women Quarters Program with the release of a quarter bearing the likeness of poet Maya Angelou. It's the first time a Black woman has been on any American currency. The image shows Angelou with her arms spread wide in front of the wings of a soaring eagle. Angelou's long-time assistant told journalist David Begnaud that Angelou "would be over the moon" about the honor. [Read the Story](
[A seal pup showed up at a pub in England. Was it looking for a pint and some fish 'n' chips?]( The Old Lock and Weir pub just outside of Bristol, England had a unique visitor stop by on Sunday, January 2 at about 11:30 in the morning, a seal pup somewhere between six and 12 months old. The seal swam up to the pub, which lies on the banks of the River Avon. "It was amazing. Totally out of the blue," Dan Rawlins, the general manager of the pub, told the BBC. "It's not every day you expect to find a baby seal outside the pub," said bar and kitchen worker John Jefferies. The seal, nicknamed Nacho by the pub staff, was a social little guy who seemed to be comfortable around humans. âHe was moving around quite a lot and didn't seem too bothered about all the people around,â Rawlins told The Dodo. Rawlins thinks that he probably walked up to the pub to get a bite to eat. Some fish and chips, maybe? Or possibly the pubâs signature prawn cocktail?
