First dates are always awkward. ALWAYS. But this one is 100% adorable from beginning to end. Bellingham, Washington father Aaron Dickson took his young daughter Annalynne out on her very first date and it’s pretty much the cutest thing ever. It starts by showing the nervous pop prepping for the evening and fighting nerves since it’s “been awhile.” It all seems a little strange…Until his precious date opens the door. It’s gonna be tough for her next date to top that! Share with your friends below to make them say awwwww. Read more: http://viralnova.com/best-first-date-ever/
Even as toddlers, we learn so much about the intricacies of this planet. Gravity sucks, food is good, and things can disappear and reappear through the magic incantation of “peek-a-boo!” But when one little girl was told by her dad that snow comes from the sky…well, it was just too absurd for her to handle! “Daddy is funny!” she said, disparaging her father as the Catholic Church once did Galileo. Even Mom seemed to find the notion daffy, and she quickly joined in on the giggling. Now that I’m thinking about it, she might have a point. You’re telling me that clouds create billions of dandruff-like flakes out of ice, and each flake is completely unique? That sounds like a dumb idea, even for Dad!

At the Humane Society of Missouri, a unique and incredible experiment is underway. Called the Shelter Buddies Reading Program, the project’s goal is to help antisocial and hyperactive dogs develop the social skills they need to get adopted. By enlisting the help of young children who love reading, the Humane Society hopes that these sessions will help animals come out of their shells. When you see how the pups respond, you’ll realize that this program is a home run. The method shown here helps dogs learn to come to the front of their cages when potential adopters walk by. If they meet people and interact, they’re far more likely to find forever homes. It’s ingenuity like this that has the potential to help thousands of animals in need.

In school, I hated carrying around a backpack. They were heavy, uncool-looking, and an all-around nuisance. However, if I had known these awesome hacks, I would have looked forward to bringing my bag to school every day. Not only do they make a backpack way more versatile, all the kids would have been so jealous of my tricks. Show these to your kids and help them rule the hallways: That Velcro trick is genius! I always lost my pens at the bottom of my bag and would spend so much time digging through it just to find they had exploded or I lost the caps. Will you help your kids upgrade their backpacks?

Rob Lopez is a huge Star Wars fan. So, naturally, his son Sebastian is, as well. (And he loves Darth Vader.) One of the joys parents get to experience is having fun with their children. That’s why Rob and his wife (but mainly Rob) decided to see how their son would react if Darth Vader woke him up in the morning. Likelihood of traumatizing their son: ~15% YouTube But, I don’t know what’s better…this dad’s costume, or how his son reacted! Thankfully, their son proved that the Force is indeed with him (and Darth Vader is whipped). Read more: http://www.viralnova.com/darth-vader-wakeup/
Getting ready for a new school year can be a challenge for most parents, but while many think getting up at 7 a.m. to see your kids off to the bus is rough, it’s nothing compared to what this father does. Jose Luis Dominguez is determined to give his two kids — seven-year-old Luis and eight-year-old Kayla — the best possible chance at a good education, something he never had the opportunity to get. googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display(‘VN_PG_DCBP_ATF’); }); The three live in Mexico but through sheer determination Dominguez managed to get his two kids enrolled in a school in South Texas, just across the street from the restaurant he works at. Every morning and afternoon, the trio make the trek across the Hidalgo International Bridge, over the Rio Grande, to and from home. The 32-year-old says life is ugly across the border, with kids frequently being abducted by drug cartels. He feels a lot safer knowing his little ones are in school in the U.S. while he’s at work. Talk about going the extra mile for your kids. For Dominguez, a quality education away from drug violence is reason enough to wake up every morning and hike across an international border in the hopes it will get his children walking on a better path.

Parents with little children know this struggle all too well… There comes a time when kids outgrow the little booster steps to the sink and want to reach it all on their own. Unfortunately, they haven’t had their growth spurt yet and they still can’t reach the faucet to wash their hands. So, mom or dad has to pick them up. But there must be a better way, right? …And sure enough, there is! This is genius. Not only is this easy to make, it can quickly be removed when grown-up company comes over. That’s what we call the best of both worlds! Read more: http://www.viralnova.com/sink-extender/
When it comes to the holiday season, everyone has their own beliefs. Sharing them with others is one thing, but what this crazy pastor just did in Amarillo, Texas, totally crossed the line. As kids wait in line to meet Santa Claus at a local mall, this piece of trash extraordinaire tells the camera that he’s going to crush their dreams by informing them that Old Saint Nick isn’t real. I could hardly believe that he’d actually go through with it, but seconds later, he’s shouting like a mad man. At first, parents try to ignore him, but it eventually becomes too much to bear. All things considered, he’s lucky this didn’t end with a swift punch to the face. Like the angry dads who confront him, my blood is boiling! We’d like to take this moment to remind the pastor that Saint Nicholas was indeed a real man who was canonized. Whether or not he performed miracles is a matter of personal opinion, but even the most cynical historians agree that he was generous man who inspired the modern-day version of Santa Claus.

It’s hard for kids to grow up in Uganda today. There is a lot of peril in this African country, and children become innocent victims more often than not. But these kids have found a way to push past the negativity and stay positive! They’ve decided that they will not live their lives in fear. Check out what they’ve been up to in the video below. It’s good to see that these kids are having fun. And kudos to Justin Bieber! His music clearly touches lives across the globe. Read more: http://www.viralnova.com/uganda/
googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display(‘VN_PG_DTBT_ATF’); }); Kids, those precious, adorable, sassy humans, really do say the darnedest things sometimes. Case in point: this video by a little girl named JoJo. When told to go to the bathroom before heading to bed, the dramatic girl had some choice words for her father. JoJo’s bed-wetting issue is clearly not something she’s happy to admit, so when Dad tells her she’s probably going to end up peeing her bed, she decided to sing a hilarious song. The goal? Persuading her father that her bed would be completely dry come tomorrow morning. I feel like she was made for drama school. Her movements are so expressive. Here’s hoping JoJo had an accident-free night! Read more: http://www.viralnova.com/i-wont-wet-the-bed/
