1 [Costco CEO stuns young boy by responding to his email asking for help with school fundraiser]( Imagine your 12-year-old son is helping take part in his school’s Valentine’s Day fundraiser. You’d probably be proud and encouraged at the way he’s getting involved and doing something good, right? Now imagine, as part of that effort, he decided to email the CEO of Costco, one of the most beloved big box retailers in the world. Well, that’s cute, right? But what if he told you the CEO not only wrote back but went out of his way to donate exactly what your son asked for? It may sound too good to be true, but that’s exactly what happened when Grant Cerwin sent an email to [Costco CEO Craig Jelinek](.

All of them might respond differently to the same situation. In a Tiktok video posted by [@familytokss]( a mother pretends to have a headache just to see the reaction of her four children. The oldest one comes and asks her, “What happened, bro?” before lying down next to her. He then asks her to go upstairs and rest. The second child can be seen coming in and quietly switching off the lights. After this, the third child comes and asks her if they can go to Starbucks and the mom agrees. The youngest one kisses her when he comes to know she has a headache. It is an extremely wholesome video that shows the personalities of the siblings aptly. The video went viral with more than 4 million views and is captioned, “Pranking my kids to get their reaction.” Many on Tiktok loved the children’s responses. @adamarieplazanieves commented, “You can see the different love languages. Physical touch, acts of service, quality time, words of affirmation… BEAUTIFUL.” @asiancajun commented, “Aww the 2nd one touched me because he’s always “whatever” but he loves his mama! Your kids are great because YOU are. 🥰” @mama.z.ta commented, “You need to start doing episodes on how you became a super mom and how you raised them because they are so beautiful inside n out🥺.” [Read the story]( Did a friend forward this to you?

[Pink]( new song “When I Get There” is a beautiful example of both. [Honoring the memory]( of her late father, Jim Moore, [who died in 2021]( the Grammy winner created a touching lyric video featuring home videos of them together. A small snippet of that video was shared on her [Instagram]( on Valentine's Day. “Sometimes love leaves us too soon.

The first few seconds of the ad made it appear as if game coverage was resuming, then suddenly, a smart TV home screen appeared with a cursor clicking on different things, ultimately landing on Tubi. The brilliant ad clearly got people's attention, as people flooded social media with stories of how everyone in their household asked who was sitting on the remote and disrupting the game. For most people, it was a hilarious prank that ended in shared laughter. But for some, it didn't turn out to be funny at all. In a now-deleted [post shared on Reddit]( an unnamed 23-year-old woman described how her 25-year-old boyfriend reacted to the commercial when he thought she was messing with the TV. It's a story filled with domestic violence [red flags]( and people are sharing it as an example of what [abusive relationships]( can look like in their early stages.

Her reaction is beyond wholesome.]( Sometimes you come across something so dang sweet and wholesome that you just have to pass it along. That's the case with this short video. TikTok user Bella, whose handle is [@mylifeasbella]( uploaded a video to the platform showing her mother and her watching a clip of [Rihanna's interpreter, Justina Miles]( signing the song the star was performing at the Super Bowl. Bella is a child of deaf adults, otherwise [known as CODA]( and wanted to show her mother the video since her mom skipped the Super Bowl. But as it turns out, even if she had tuned into the game, the dynamic interpreter was not shown on the screen. Bella explained in a [second video]( that if you wanted to see the interpreter you had to go to a separate link during the halftime show. In the video, Bella's mom is just sort of standing there until she realizes what's happening. That's when you see a quick flash of surprise on her face before she starts smiling wider, and it doesn't take long for her to start signing along with the interpreter. By the end, Bella's mom is dancing to the beat. It certainly made people smile.
