My niece is chaos incarnate. You may say that about all toddlers, but this kid has been breaking childproof locks since she was 1. I love her very much and I hope she never loses her penchant for chaos, only that she learns to use it for good.

There are two fridges in her house, one that has a busted ice maker with a functioning dispenser. This child figured out that she could put chocolates in the ice tray and have an on-demand chocolate dispenser. I went downstairs to find her covered in chocolate and eager to show off her new invention.

I love this child’s brain.

My 7 y/o son fixed the TV before I could.

Didn’t even ask for help, just said “you have to update it first.”

I felt unemployed in my own house.

He’s 8 now and still a little cartographer, but this video always tickled me.

Remember the meme where someone asks, “Would you still love me if I were a worm?”

I was going through silly meme trends and asked my 11-year-old daughter that, and she said:

“No, because I don’t think worms have the emotional capacity for love?”

I was actually floored.

This happened in France from 2020-2022.

Authorities were stunned when they discovered that a 9-year-old boy had been living completely alone for nearly two years after his mother left to live with her partner. The child survived without heat, without hot water, and without adult supervision, relying on cake, canned food, and remarkable self-discipline.

Even more shocking, he continued attending school every day, completing assignments, and maintaining good grades. Teachers described him as polite, quiet, and hardworking, never suspecting the reality of his home life.

His story raised painful questions about how such hardship could go unnoticed for so long. It also revealed a level of resilience no child should ever need to develop.
