This little girl was so unimpressed with her assigned dance partner that she refused to dance with him at all

One little girl has definitely been brought up with a great mentality of: ‘If you aren’t interested, make it clear.’

Let’s be honest, it’s something that many girls wish they had, purely based on the fact it’s a lot quicker and incredibly easier than letting someone down softly. Even if it is less polite.

But this tiny dancer doesn’t give a damn about politeness.

This video has been around a little while (look at the video quality) but while performing in a dance recital, she was place next to a boy who wanted to dance with her.

Having already tested her skills by giving her a little twirl, all seemed to be going well.

But, when it came to actually taking to the floor, she wasn’t interested in the slightest.

And while you may feel bad for the little boy, who just wanted to carry on the routine with her, he did have another girl on his other arm already.

If you’re struggling to find some motivation and are in need of a little pick-me-up, this adorable story about a determined little mouse is just what you need. 

On a cold winter day in Toronto, photographer Martine Gingerich came across a a tiny mouse swimming along the shores of Lake Ontario, struggling to get back to safety, but determined not to give up.

Martine documented the mouse’s adventures for a moving photo series, which will definitely inspire you not to give up on something you may be struggling with.

The mouse had fallen from a wall near the beach and had been unable to climb back up, and was struggling swim back to shore. Watching in hope of the mouse swimming to safety, Martine saw the mouse attempt to climb the wall, but failing miserably each time.

Before giving up, the mouse changed strategy and began swimming for the shore. Fighting against the waves, the little… Read the full story

New mum speaks out against stranger who called her ‘disgusting’ for breastfeeding while in her car

One nursing mother was left feeling incredibly upset by a passer-by who felt it was necessary to voice their rude opinion as she breastfed her child.

Lauren Davidson had just finished a gym session with her husband, when they picked up their children from the creche they stayed in as their parents worked out.

The parents decided to get their much-needed grocery shop at their local shop before they went home so that they could enjoy the rest of their day together. Lauren remained in the car as her husband shopped, as her newborn baby was desperately in need of some lunch.

But, just a few minutes into breastfeeding her six-week-old child, she was met with some abusive comments from another customer who had parked their car nearby.

Infuriated, Lauren took to Facebook to speak out about the nasty comments made.

Alongside a photo of her breastfeeding her child, she wrote: ‘Wait, why am I posting a picture of me breastfeeding? I’ll tell you why. It’s a shoutout… Read the full story

This is harsh, but very, very funny.

Liz Hammett, 36, from Ohio, may be a mum-of-one herself but that doesn’t make her too old to enjoy winding her mum up via text. Relentlessly.

For the last few months, Liz – or ‘Elizabeth’ as mum calls her when she’s angry, which is often – has been sharing her hilarious text conversations with her long-suffering mum via her ‘Texts from my mother’ Facebook photo album, which has now been viewed over 530,000 times.

Liz may look like butter wouldn’t melt, but mum knows better. From bitter experience.

Ziggy the piggy steals the show (Picture: Brian Smyer)

This is how you steal the limelight on a photo shoot without even trying.

Kristin Hartness and Jay Yontz are adoptive parents to a five-year-old pig called Ziggy.

Kristen got Ziggy when she lived in the Virgin Islands. He was advertised as a teacup pig and Kristen was told he would stay small. He now weighs a curvy 250lbs. So, yeah, that didn’t happen.

But, Kirsten and Jay love every inch of their big pork baby. The very tight-knit family of three now live in an RV, travelling around America together.

And when Kristen and Jay got engaged recently, it made total sense to have Ziggy… Read the full story


Little girl writes an angry letter to her sister for eating all of the food in the kitchen

Anyone with with a sister will know arguments are inevitable. 

Especially if it involves a remote, a piece of clothing, or even worse… food.

But this little sister knew just how to handle it when entering the kitchen with a grumbling tummy, only to find all of her desired food to be gone. Though, let’s just say, she didn’t exactly handle it nicely.

Writing a letter to her sister, Louisa, she was pretty harsh with her words, and even included a rather detailed middle-finger, sticking up nice and straight – fingernails included and everything.

Louisa posted the letter to Facebook, and it was quick to go viral with over 6,500 likes since being posted online yesterday. She captioned it: ‘I swear she’s a lil’ brat. I don’t even eat that much so idk what she’s talking about. Fully draws the finger too.’

The letter reads:

Have you ever received an odd message from a member of your family? Yeah? Ever thought of sharing it on Instagram?

Or why not one-up that, and share it to an Instagram account that actually specialises in that kind of thing. Like YourShittyFamily, for instance.

The account which will leave you in fits of giggles, and probably quite thankful that your family aren’t quite as open with their text messages. Unless you’re already on there, of course.

Kudos to those who are that open with their parents. Still, weird advice

An easy way to find out what a person’s really like – what they value most, how organised they are, the objects that make them who they are: take a look inside their bag.

Tip mine out and you’ll find multiple notebooks and planners, hand cream, perfume, multiple lip balms, keys, and a book. Which gives you a pretty good sense of who I am, tbh.

Kids don’t tend to carry around bags though. So to find out what’s going on in their minds, it’s a fun idea to look in their pockets.

It’s Kriss Kross all over again. Except this time, people are wearing their shirts backwards.

As in, your button up shirt with a collar, worn back to front.

The look is suddenly popping up on fashion bloggers at fashion weeks around the globe and it looks much cooler than it sounds.

However, we suspect it’s one of those trends that look amazing on bloggers in carefully posed Insta-pictures, but might not translate so well to the office, or your local on a Friday night.

Like many people, I trust Kanye West with pretty much every part of my life. I trust in his good taste and opinions to guide me on the path to righteousness and reality TV.

When he said wearing nude sweatpants and a holey jumper was cool, I knew, deep down, that he was right. I threw away all patterns and bright colours. I embraced his vision.

When I go into meetings, I ask myself ‘how would Kanye ask this question about getting a therapy puppy in the office?’… Read the full story

We get that the urge to peek at your significant other’s phone while they’re in the shower is pretty tempting. Especially if you’re already feeling a bit suspicious.

But heed our warning: it’s a bad idea. You’ll only get caught, and if you don’t find anything the argument will turn into ‘why are you looking at my phone?’ instead of ‘are you cheating on me?’

Now there’s a slightly safer option.

A new website will let you know if your significant other is using Tinder behind your back. That’s a tricky thing to explain your way out of.

Today in ‘let’s take a good thing and make it weird’: SUSHI PIE.

We’ve had sushi burgers (they look cool, but you know they’d be impossible to eat). Of course it’s time for sushi to become a pie.

Not an actual pie, obviously. Because the internet doesn’t understand what a pie actually is.

Sushi pie is layers of rice and fish stacked together in a circular shape, so it looks like a pie. Kind of. A bit. If you ask us, it’s more of a sushi gateaux.

For parents, it’s all about off-road parking and feature fireplaces. For their kids, it’s more about good hiding places and tree house potential.

Research into the property goals of under 10s has revealed they have vastly different priorities to their parents. Naturally.

However, the poll by London estate agent Chestertons also found that children today have little concept of the out-of-control property market, with the average kid believing a three-bed house with set them back about £3,000.
