Little girl gives dad a no-nonsense lecture on why it’s not OK to leave the toilet seat up

When it comes to using the toilet there are some rules that everyone should respect. Putting the toilet seat down is definitely one of them. Well, it looks like that this ‘issue’ turned into an endless war between the male and the female world. So whereas women get mad with men for not putting the seat down, men don’t find that a big deal and simply refuse to listen. 

Bradlee Rae Hayes is a three-year-old girl from Bedford, Texas, who hates stumbling upon a toilet seat up when entering the bathroom. But, her personality won’t let her pretend as it has never happened. In fact, she’s ready to confront her father and teach him some lessons on good manners. 

The video of Bradlee stole the hearts of the whole country some three years ago, but it looks like we can never get enough of her, especially because the issue with the toilet seat is always ongoing. 

“How many times do I have to tell you when you put the seat up and I tell you to put it down for me? Why do you keep doing that?” the little girl says.

Her dad thinks that leaving the seat up isn’t really a big of a deal and asks Bradlee why wouldn’t she just put it down if that bothers her so much to what she responds that he is the one who should do that, not her. 

“I don’t want to [put it down], I just want you to do it.”

Seeing her coming up with some great arguments, her daddy Jeremiah won’t stop saying no just to make her speak more. And boy, we are glad he does that. 

“Daddy, listen to me, when you’re done with the potty, you gotta put it down when big girl come in and need go… So you’re got to put it down for girls.”

Although he’s doing it wrong when it comes to the toilet seat, Jeremiah is a great parent who taught her young daughter to speak up when she comes across things in life which she believes are not fair and bother her.

Jeremiah told Caters News Agency how Bradlee tells him off every once in a while when she doesn’t agree with his parenting. 

“This is her down to a T, as she is always letting me know when I am slacking,” he said. “If I am not doing my job as a dad properly she isn’t afraid to let me know. Especially when it comes to putting the toilet seat down.”

He even joked how he will never let women win the war over the toilet seat. 

“Despite her recriminations, I will stand firm for all men in the great debate of whether or not to put the seat down.”

This girl is just awesome. She will definitely make your day.

Boy Throws A Tantrum On A Plane But Gets Put In His Place

Having kids is a real blessing, but everyone is pretty much aware that with them around things can be tough at times. I don’t think there is a single parent out there who hasn’t wished for the ground to swallow them up when their little ones decide to throw a tantrum at a public place. I guess you are smiling as you are reading this if you are a proud mom or a dad of a little kid, aren’t you?

One mom found herself in such situation where she wasn’t able to calm her noddy and misbehaving child, but luckily, there was someone on the plane who could.

As a crowded airliner is about to take off, the peace is shattered by a 5-year-old boy who picks that moment to throw a wild temper tantrum. No matter what his frustrated, embarrassed mother does to try to calm him down, the boy continues to scream furiously and kick the seats around him. Suddenly, from the rear of the plane, an elderly man in the uniform of an Air Force General is seen slowly walking forward up the aisle. Stopping the flustered mother with an upraised hand, the white-haired, courtly, soft-spoken General leans down and, motioning toward his chest, whispers something into the boy’s ear. Instantly, the boy calms down, gently takes his mother’s hand, and quietly fastens his seat belt. All the other passengers burst into spontaneous applause. As the General slowly makes his way back to his seat, one of the cabin attendants touches his sleeve. “Excuse me, General,” she asks quietly, “but could I ask you what magic words you used on that little boy?” The old man smiles serenely and gently confides, “I showed him my pilot’s wings, service stars, and battle ribbons, and explained that they entitle me to throw one passenger out the plane door on any flight I choose.”

Everyone ignores desperate woman who needs help with flat tire except for one homeless man

Anna Davidson is the owner of Jessie Jean’s Historic 25th Cafe in Ogden, Utah. In the 20 years during which she and her husband have run the place, they’ve seen many people pass by and witnessed many incredible things. But a photo that they took recently and posted on Facebook along with the story behind it has gone viral. 

As Anna was looking through the window one day, she spotted a woman stuck in the traffic and blocking it because of a flat tire. The poor woman had no idea what to do and asked people around to help her, but no one was willing to stop. Well, except for someone Anna knew very well. A homeless man named Charles “Chuck” Logan who was a regular at her cafe. 

Once everyone started speaking of the kindness Chuck offered, the woman with the flat tire, Shuree Michelle spoke of it and thanked her savior publicly. 

“Out comes this guy and he asked if I had a spare tire and a jack,” she told Yahoo Lifestyle. “He didn’t hesitate to help — it was very sweet.”

Chuck’s deed not only helped Michelle, but also the way people from the community saw the homeless people sticking around the area. Namely, most of the Ogden residents were against homeless people living on their streets, but now that they have seen how generous one of them was, they realized they misjudged them in the first place.

During the period when large population of government IRS workers lost their jobs because of the government shutdown, Anna’s cafe offered discounts and it attracted homeless people even more, which community members didn’t like. 

Anna told Yahoo Lifestyle:

“We have about 5,000 government workers living in Ogden so when they couldn’t work, it was traumatic. We figured, ‘If we’re going to lose our business, we may as well help people on our way out.”

At the time, Anna’s place, with the help of local donations, started offering coffee and beignets for only $2. This made many furious because that meant many homeless would start visiting the place and the city. 

But Anna and her husband didn’t care, because they believe everyone deserves a hot meal. On top of that, by sharing Chuck’s photo they proved everyone who was against them wrong. Because Chuck was in fact the only person who lent a helping hand to someone in need. 

Now, customers can add a “Pay it forward” extra to their bill. Money that are used for meals each day. 

“I felt like the universe was telling me to do this,” said Anna.

The kind homeless man is now part of the cafe, where he cleans and gets to have a meal and some money. 

“He’s a safety net around here,” Davidson said.

This is Anna’s original post. 

“Looked out the window to see this happening. This is Chuck… he’s homeless and works his ass off helping every day in the cafe. This is ‘one of those people’ that get labeled. Ya know the ones everyone wants outta sight, outta mind. I didn’t see anyone else out helping this young lady, just Chuck… the homeless guy… thank you Chuck.” #findthekind and #kindnessmatters.

Yahoo Lifestyle contacted Chuck too as they wanted to hear his thoughts on everything that was going on. 

“Treat people as they would like to be treated, with respect,” he said, matter-of-factly.

Chuck is an incredible man and an example of why we should never judge a book by its cover. 

Little girl sees a man with white beard while shopping and mistakes him for Santa Claus

Who knew that an ordinary visit to the local Walmart could turn into one of the best Christmas stories the country has stumbled upon.

When sweet Sophie Jo Riley visited the store with her daddy and her sister, she never expected to meet the white-bearded man who brings so much happiness in the life of little children; Santa Claus. 

“She was just sneaking around the aisle, had her back against the toys,” her older sister Miya Lupashunski told WSAZ News. “We were behind her, and she’d put her finger up to her lips and go ‘Shh! It’s Santa!’”

The man that resembled Santa so much, Roger Larck, didn’t want to ruin the girl’s excitement so he decided to play along.

“Santa?” she asked as she headed towards him. “I’ve been called worse,” he replied.

When he put the red sweater on that day, Larck had no idea he will be mistaken for the ‘big guy’ but he was glad he did because it didn’t only made Sophie’s day, but his too. 

Although this incredible and serendipitous encounter took place some 4 years ago, it never ceases to put a smile on our face whenever Christmas is around the corner. 

Still a bit shocked from meeting Santa, Sophie nervously plays with her ponytail before she goes on and brags with her nails, to what ‘Santa’ exclaims, “Wow, that’s very pretty.” 

Sophie’s sister than reminds her to tell ‘Santa’ what she wants for Christmas and without hesitating even a bit, Sophie hands him in her New Year’s wish list.

And yes, she mentions how she would leave some cookies for him when he comes to bring her the present, but tells him to have only one as the rest are for the reindeer. 

That Christmas is Sophie’s favorite time of the year speaks the fact that she knows so much about Santa, his elves, and his reindeer. 

Larck was overjoyed he made Sophie happy that day and said how he loved to oblige and play the ‘big guy’ for a couple of minutes. 

“I’m tickled I’ve been a part of something that other people have enjoyed,” he said. “It was just me having a conversation with a little girl. It melted my heart when it happened.”

According to Sophie’s dad, Robert Reily, Larck contacted him after the encounter and told him how meeting the young girl was “the best present he has received for a long time.”

The video melted millions of hearts and Sophie became sort of celebrity in the town as she and her dad were guests on many shows where they spoke of the experience. 

In one occasion, she was invited at a talk show and there was someone special waiting for her there. You are guessing right, it was Larck who spoke to Sophie about her Christmas wishes. 

This is definitely a must see. It will remind you of the beauty of the most beautiful holiday season and of children’s innocence and honesty. 

Dad and daughter Rascal Flatts sing-a-long is going viral because it’s just too darn cute for words

Babies and music really go great together, so it doesn’t really come as a surprise that even the greatest singing dummies of moms and dads perform for their little ones. 

And now if you think that having a baby entertained revolves around songs like Baby Shark only, you might be completely wrong. It turns out that little kids and babies love other types of music too.

When this mom posted a video of her hubby and their daughter having fun along with Rascal Flatts and wrote the caption “He’s going to kill me for posting this” we just knew it will be something to remember. 

Now, although we all believe that our bundles of joy enjoy listening to high-pitched squeaky noises, we somehow underrate their taste for good music. 

According to a research conducted back in 2015 by the McGill University researchers, infants really love being exposed to “a repeating vowel sound that mimicked those made by an adult woman or those by a baby.” 

Well, this video that we’ve mentioned before proves this to be right. 

Namely, daddy Ryan and baby girl Mary were having the time of their life doing sweet karaoke that mom managed to put on tape. Oh boy, we are so glad she did it. 

The two chose just the song that put little Mary in the mood; Rascal Flatts’ “I’m Moving On.” 

But it’s not just the choice of song that made the girl go wild, but the way her dad sang it to her, looking her straight in the eyes. He showered her with affection and love and she could feel that. 

As a thank you, she tries to mimic his moves and makes him laugh. 

This duo is so amazingly fun that what they had to offer was seen more than 13 million times. 

It looks as Mary will start belting the lyrics any second, although she doesn’t know how to speak yet. 

We believe all the happiness and love between a father and his daughter are packed in this short video, don’t you think so?

Take a look at the amazing performance in the video below. 

Toddler with Down syndrome who beat cancer twice now hears sound for the first time

Having a healthy baby is everything that parents-to-be dream of. But not everyone gets a chance like that in life.

When baby Grace Rosian was born, she was diagnosed with transient myeloproliferative disorder, which is a form of leukemia.

The poor baby that was welcomed into the world two months prematurely had to undergo her first treatment just 48 hours after she was born. 

But her parents knew their little bundle of joy, who also has Down Syndrome, is a fighter. They were there to give her all the love she needed in order to come out as a winner. 

And they were right. After two months of invasive treatments and a bunch of medicine, Grace was cancer free and able to finally leave the hospital and feel the warmth of her home. 

Her parents were overjoyed by the though of finally getting to hold their daughter. 

Sadly, the family’s joy only lasted for eight months as Grace was again diagnosed with leukemia, but this time, it was more serious than the first time. 

That meant the pain and the struggles they believed were buried in the past were there for them to face again. 

The form of cancer Grace had to fight against this time was acute myeloid leukemia, which is something children with Down Syndrome have a high risk of developing. 

Grace’s bone marrow was also affected. 

This second stay in the hospital lasted for eight long months. Looking their daughter going through so many chemotherapy treatments and operations broke Grace’s parents’ hearts into a million pieces, especially because there was nothing they could do to ease her pain. 

As the AML was located in the little girl’s spine, the chemotherapy was administered into her spinal fluid. 

Grace’s vibrant personality and her fighting spirit along with all the love and support she was getting from her parents and the doctors helped her kick the cancer’s butt for the second time. 

Now that she was healthy again, the doctors decided to help Grace with another problem she was facing, her hearing. 

Namely, this sweet little angel never got to hear her parents’ kind words of support because she was hearing impaired. 

The new aids she got opened the door to a completely new world for Grace, the world of sounds and music. 

The experience of hearing for the first time was a bit overwhelming for this cute girl, but she got used to it very soon and she now enjoys listening to people talking to her. 

Everyone at the hospital was overjoyed for little Grace. All the doctors and the rest of the staff were crossing their fingers for their favorite patient for so long and now that she could finally go home they all said that they would miss her dearly. 

The sweetest thing of all was that all of them were there to wish Grace good luck on her way home. 

We are so happy for this extraordinary girl. She’s the bravest little girl we’ve ever seen and we can’t be happier for her and her family.

Take a look at the whole story in the video below. 

Man feels something below the surface, notices a little foot and pulls drowning 4-year-old out of water

What looked like an ordinary day at the lake turned into an experience 32-year-old plumber Angelo Mondragon will never forget. 

As he was swimming in the water, something touched his leg. And we all know that it’s not the most pleasant feeling. Believing it was fish or seaweed, Angelo turned around and that’s when he noticed the most shocking thing ever. It was a foot with tiny toes, and this quick-thinking man knew it was a drowning child he stumbled upon. 

“It felt like something you normally wouldn’t feel in the water,” Angelo told the Coloradoan.

“The baby’s toes surfaced. I saw the bottom of her feet surface and that right then at that moment that became my child. I was yelling, screaming, terrified. So I sounded very terrified but I felt an amazing calm.”

Thankfully, he was able to pull the lifeless looking body to the shore. Not knowing what to do next, Angelo kept screaming and asking for help. 

As luck would have it, 4-year-old Sitali Hernandez wasn’t meant to die on that faithful day. Two nurses found themselves on the beach and the moment they heard Angelo’s cries for help, they rushed towards him and the helpless girl and started performing CPR on her. 

Soon after, an ambulance arrived and little Sitali was transferred to the hospital. 

Angelo saved a life that day. His bravery made him a real hero. 

The girl’s mom said there were no words to describe how thankful they are to Angelo for saving their little girl. 

“You saved her. You saved my baby,” Sitali’s mom told Angelo when he came to visit her at the hospital the following day.

The story of Sitali’s accident was shared on the social media to raise awareness of the usage of vests for kids while swimming. 

Angelo even went a step further and is getting into contact with local businesses that are willing to contribute to the safety of the children by offering free life vests to those who can’t afford them. 

Sitali was lucky that someone like Angelo found himself in the right place at the right time to offer her a second chance for life. Now three days after the accident, Saiti is doing fine and can run and play again. 

“She’s really strong, she’s really strong,” said the mom. “Her lungs are good, her heartbeat is good. Everything is good.”

Share Angelo and Sitali’s story with your friends. 

Adopted baby with Down Syndrome smiles for her new mom

For many parents, having a child with Down Syndrome is a blessing and they see that extra chromosome as an extra gift from God. Others, sadly, are not ready to give a bit of additional love to these children so they give them for adoption.

The thing is that babies with Down Syndrome are less likely to be adopted as many adoptive parents don’t really understand that people with the condition are not that different from the rest of us. On the contrary, they are a valuable part of the society. 

The non profit organization National Down Syndrome Adoption Network aims at finding babies and children with Down Syndrome a home. 

Just recently, they shared the most charming video ever. A baby girl with Down Syndrome was adopted and she gave her new mommy an incredibly cute smile. 

It looks as though she knows she had found her parents for life and now she wants to tell them how happy she is being around them. 

This cutie will definitely make your day, and hopefully, she will change the way some people see individuals with Down Syndrome. 

She’s adorable beyond words!

Well that clip certainly brought a big smile to my face! How about you?
