Bullied 6th Grader’s Tears Turn to Joy After Community Rallies to Sign His Yearbook

Friend Says “Of All People, You Should Get Why Someone Would Abort a Cleft Baby”—Dad’s Reply Is Perfect

"My ‘friend’ said, ‘Come on, of all people, you should get why someone would want to abort a cleft baby.’ That shocked me. Why would he think that?"

During a Kitchen Dance Party, Foster Mom Hears Heartfelt Words: ‘I Miss My Other Daddy’

"I felt the tug on my sleeve and looked down to find him standing motionless. His mouth was moving but I couldn’t make out his words. His quiet body in the noisy room caught me off guard. I bent down to find his voice."

I Smell Like Beef Vine

Remember the “I Smell Like Beef” vine girl? Well, the Internet sensation that is Ava Ryan has been stirring up a storm of laughter across the web since her “I smell like beef” Vine went viral when she was two. Her hilarious recordings captured by her mom, Katie, have now racked up millions of views on YouTube and Instagram.

And five years later, the comedy genius brewing in this youngster born for the spotlight, has exploded into such self-created characters as “Bossy Boss Lady” (who totally just wants to ditch her employees for a cruise), and my personal favorite, “Charlene”—your hot-mess best friend, whose #nofilter sass leaves her no choice but to tell you LIKE IT IS.

Basically, this wickedly witty child is my spirit animal—and I kinda wanna be her when I grow up.

Charlene’s most recent life thoughts have centered on that love-it-or-hate-it holiday we all know as Valentine’s Day. For some, the holiday of love has their eyes swirling with “All Mine” conversation hearts and savory roses from their sweetheart. But for loners like Charlene, the day commemorated by a chubby baby shooting dangerous arrows is scarier than Halloween… Plus, come on, those flowers just mean “responsibilities.”

Watch as 7-year-old Ava delivers a hysterically accurate Valentine’s Day rant that has all the single ladies cheering AMEN:

Charlene’s Early Thoughts On Valentine’s Day

“Charlene’s early thoughts on Valentine’s Day.”
