A couple in Florida who were expecting their sixth child attempted to head to the [hospital before the baby arrived]( but the baby had other plans.

This makes it too easy for parents to let their personal aspirations, hobbies, and social lives slip away. Most of the time, it’s not a conscious choice but something that happens in the background while you’re busy caring for a child. Then one day, you look up and wonder, where did my life go? The big problem is that people can become so wrapped up in their identities as parents that when their children grow older and leave the house, they have no sense of self.

Rather than calling the delicious yellow fruit with pokey leaves "ananas" like most of the world, our ancestors apparently took a look at one and decided, "Eh, kinda looks like a pinecone. But it's clearly a fruit. How about we call it a 'pineapple'?" A video creator who goes by [@thejazzemu]( made a hilarious song exploring what would happen if we named other words the way we named "pineapple"—by combining two words with "minimal conceptual link"—and it's a silly feast of musical and etymological brilliance.
