Kids

After a long, hard summer of chasing after kids, there's no better time for parents than the first day of school. As proof, check out this mom who literally dances in the street as her grumpy kids board a bus to start a new school year. Go mom!

Do NOT watch this if you don't want to cry. It's going to happen. A little boy lost his favorite stuffed animal on a family camping trip, and three years later his mom found it on eBay and surprised him with it. Tears ensue. Yours will as well...

Moms can be a little embarrassing from time to time. It’s part of their motherly duties. Trying on wigs on national television, forcing kids to wear terrible clothes on their first day of school, shaving numbers onto quadruplet's heads to tell them apart. Whaaaa????? No really, a mom in Shenzhen, China decided that was a good idea.

Anyone who thinks heavy metal is strictly for adults has never heard Murp, a young brother-sister duo who bashes out intense deathcore that would make any headbanger proud.

Homework. Even if you haven't been in school for years the thought of it can send shivers down your spine. But this fact of life for most kids is no problem for students at Gaithersburg Elementary School in Maryland -- their principal, Stephanie Brant, banned homework when she took over two years ago. Instead these lucky K-through-fifth graders are each required to read a book of their choice for

We can’t quite figure out what it is about super sour candy that keeps us wanting more. For starters, most of these treats are enough to make our tongues tingle and cause our faces to go into full-on spaz mode. Last time we checked, that’s not exactly what we call ‘fun’. But when you’re a kid, it’s all about the insanely sour experience-- the fighting a rough-and-tough candy battle, making it thro

Since fashion moves quickly and doesn't take a summer break the first day of school is a stressful one for any clothes-conscious youngster. Jimmy Kimmel plays off this anxiety in his latest hilarious YouTube challenge to parents.

There is a reason soccer is called football around the world.  Yet 11-year-old Gabriel Muniz has been able to excel at the sport despite being born without feet.

Well, we bet when he starts singing you think it's going to be one of those moments when a kid is really terrible, sort of knows part of the words, and then starts crying, but this guy is actually pretty good, at least when it comes to 'The Wrong Direction' by Passenger.

This really takes being a supportive dad to a whole new level -- a father in Germany started wearing skirts so that his son would feel comfortable doing it to in front of classmates after moving to a new town. Bravo, sir.

Marmots are generally very skittish animals, normally making a run for it every time a person shows up unexpectedly. Eight-year-old Matteo Walch, on the other hand, is the one exception to this rule. When he goes to visit a small group of alpine marmots in their Austrian habitat, the creatures rush up to him as if to embrace an old friend.

If the legal voting age was 10 and under, Obama would probably have the 2012 election in the bag, which can totally be proven with pictures. The folks over at The Obama Diary have sifted through a massive catalog of official White House photos and put together a bunch of shots of little kids freaking out about how much they love the president. It's pretty much the most adorable thing ever. Read Mo

Children have some sort of magical power to do things that grownups can't -- if some jerk stood on the balcony overlooking the escalator and waved and said goodbye to every single person who went by, it could easily ruin your trip to the mall. For some reason, though, when little Chloe does it, everyone smiles and waves back and it's completely adorable.

It doesn't take much for parents to embarrass their kids in public. (We're guilty of that ourselves.) But when this dad starts to get jiggy with it at an outdoor electronic music festival, his son looks like he wants to crawl into a hole and die. Poor kid.

So it turns out there's a bit of a trade-off when adults decide to play like children -- it's significantly less adorable, but it's also way more surreal. Bored Shorts decided to record two kids pretending to be a salesman and a customer and reenact the scene using that audio. The result is holy cow, kids are crazy!
