A week of calamity in landscapes reads! Did microbes cause the largest mass extinction in earth’s history? Why is California sinking? What did we learn from the biggest earthquake in America fifty years ago? And, closer to home, how dangerous should a playground be?

Mom, you look ridiculous. Son, what the hell are you wearing? These type of conversations go on in every household everywhere. In a generational tug of war between style and comfort it seems like parents and children are on opposite sides. But what if they changed places?

Don’t tell Mom! Actually tell Mom because her daughter is so dang adorable that she should be proud that her little girl has so much joy in her.

Even though she covers her eyes for half of it, she’s having the time of her life!

Watch Jackson, an awesome four-year-old kid, become overwhelmed by a beautifully sad song while riding in his Dad’s car. He tries to fight off the tears but he can’t help it. He starts crying because the music is so touching but he doesn’t want to change the song. He can’t. He takes off his glasses to feel the hurt even more. Even if it’s so sad, he loves it. It’s an adorable struggle to see him embrace the emotions of music. We have all felt like this kid before. We still do.
