Kids

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 ag…

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 …

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 …

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 freakin…

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,…

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 res…

Anybody who remembers the pain of watching 'My Girl' or 'Stand by Me' as a kid is about to be so grateful that YouTube didn't exist back then. Two parents decided to record their sons having total meltdowns after watching the family film 'The Odd Life of Timothy Green.&…

We're used to party favors and a Hora chair at Bar Mitzvahs, not so much a 13-year-old dancing solo to 'Vogue' for a captive audience. Thank you, Shaun Sperling, for making our day.

With only a few weeks of summer left, 'Hot Cheetos and Takis' by the Y.N. Rich Kids still has time to be our jam of the season. It's a song with a universal message, something to unite us all in these divisive times -- spicy junk food is so very, very delicious. And crunchy. And …
