Girl Writes Hilarious Note To Tooth Fairy Who Never Showed Up

tooth fairy

According to this little girl who recently lost her tooth, the tooth fairy has some explaining to do. 

11-year-old Sevia from California wrote a hilarious note to the tooth fairy after she forgot to take her tooth. Sevia’s mom, Erika Falcon, said that her daughter attached the note to a bag containing one of her lost baby teeth, pointing out that the tooth fairy did not show up to make the swap. 

Falcon admits to abc news that her and husband Eddie must have forgotten to play tooth fairy the last few times Sevia lost a tooth. But this time, Sevia was frustrated and had to let the tooth fairy know how she felt. 

She wrote: 

“Hello Tooth Fairy, I want you to please take my tooth in this bag I made please because a few times you never came for a couple days and I had to wait. Also, you took my tooth but didn’t give me money.”

Falcon told abc news: “We thought it was hilarious, but we were embarrassed that we were doing a terrible job as the tooth fairy. We were very proud that she was standing up for what she thought was fair, even if it was just the tooth fairy. I don’t know how common it is for an 11-year-old to believe, but we like how she still has innocence.”

Determined to mend the relationship between the tooth fairy and her daughter, Falcon said she tried switching Sevia’s tooth with a $10 bill, which was a $5 increase from the last time. But, Sevia woke up and 

Has your child ever done anything like this? Have you been a good tooth fairy to your kids?

High School Construction Class Builds Homes For Hundreds Of Pets

This high school teacher is taking home construction to the dog house–quite literally.

Barry Stewart is a construction instructor and pet lover who has been teaching his students a valuable trade and lesson in compassion by having them design and build hundreds of houses for dogs and feral cats. All of houses made by the students in class and then donated to pet shelters and needy families.

It began in 2002 when Stewart worked as a shop teacher at the Career Center in North Carolina and sought an easy but effective project that would give students hands-on experience. By chance, he ran across Forsyth County Animal Control’s Houses for Hounds program, which coordinates with multiple animal welfare groups to provide free dog houses to lower income residents in the area.

Stewart came to the conclusion that a pet house is simply a smaller version of a human house and would therefore be a good tool for teaching his students how to construct a structure:

Over the years, Stewart estimates he and his students have constructed over 600 dog houses and 110 homes for feral cats, all of which have been donated to needy families.

He lives in Jacksonville, Florida, where he only moved very recently. Since then, he has brought his work to the sunshine state and continued to construct homes for these underprivileged animals. Stewart works at Englewood High School and donates pet homes to local animal welfare nonprofits, including Friends of Jacksonville Animals and Epic Animals Outreach. They’ve recently added feeding stations to their building repertoire.

If you hadn’t been outside in 2016 yet, you’d be frolicking too.

A giraffe at Chicago’s Brookfield Zoo showed his extreme appreciation for warm weather when he went outside for the first time in 2016. On March 9, the weather outside the zoo was unseasonably warm, so the staff allowed its four giraffes access to the outdoor enclosure.

While most calm strut about the enclosure and nibbled on the surrounding greenery, one showed us what it’s like to finally be released from the clutches of cabin fever.

Potoka, a 2-year-old male, responded with his own particular enthusiasm when he felt the sun on his face for the first time in many months.

“Looks like we’re not the only ones excited about the warm weather! Potoka pranced and our whole herd of reticulated giraffes enjoyed the unseasonably warm weather,” the zoo said in a Facebook post.

This does raise the question however of the kind of environment these animals should be living in. Should an animal that has evolved to live in the dry, open woodlands of sub-saharan Africa be living in the cold interior of a Chicago zoo?

Tell us your thoughts in the comment section and don’t forget to SHARE this happy little animal with friends and family who appreciate the sunshine as much as he does:

If you thought the tiny house trend was just a passing fad, you might be wrong.

You wouldn’t be alone in thinking this because after all, who would want to live in a space that only has 200 square feet?! However, the trend has caught on to such a degree that companies like Lumber 84 are starting to create tiny houses–assembly line style.

There are a few different types of tiny, portable, and economically-friendly spaces:

The companies line offers environmentally friendly, small living spaces. You can either buy a DIY model, which begins at just $6,884, or (for those of you that don’t want to take the chance of messing up your house) you can buy one already assembled for about $50,000.

That’s still just a fraction of the cost of what most homes go for today, leaving you a ton of extra money to spend on whatever you want:

If this girl looks familiar, that might be because you’ve seen her before. At three-years-old, Brielle appeared on Ellen Degeneres showing off her knowledge of the entire periodic table of elements. But that was JUST the beginning of this little girl’s knowledge of the way things work.

Now she’s back on Ellen with a news trick up her tiny sleeve. Brielle now knows all the bones of the human body and she’s proves it when she appears on Ellen. The tiny tot wasn’t even half the size of the full adult skeleton, yet she was impressively able to identify all the bones Ellen threw her way.

And while there isn’t enough time on television to point out all 206 bones in the human body, we’re going to take for granted that Brielle knows them all.

If this is what Brielle is doing at just four-year-old, what in the world will she be doing when she turns five? We see good things coming the way of this little girl:

Leave it to Ellen to always have the best guests on her show. Brielle is an intelligent treasure you don’t often come by. If you found this smart girl as impressive as I did, please SHARE with friends and family and give them a kick out of Brielle too.

This Girl Took Her Stylish Service Dog To A School Dance…Wearing Matching Outfits

If you had a dog this fabulous you’d make her your date too.

High school is a complicated time in life. They’re are awkward dates made more awkward school dances. Sometimes you show up wearing the same exact dress as somebody else and sometimes you show up wearing the same exact dress as your dog. At least, that was what happened to Erin Condrin of Queensland, Australia…kinda.

Erin has a service dog names Lacey, and when a typical school dance rolled around, Erin made sure she and Lacey were matching and lacy.

[Credit: Facebook]
[Credit: Facebook]
Lacey is a three-year-old service dog trained by Canine Helpers Queensland. She assists Condrin in many ways, both as a helper and a very important friend.

“Lacey makes life easier by picking up dropped items, opening and closing doors, carrying objects, pressing light switches/buttons and so much more, not to mention her constant friendship,” Condrin wrote on her Facebook page, Life With Lacey.

[Credit: Facebook]
[Credit: Facebook]
For the dance, Robina designer JPS Design made the girl and her pooch matching lacy dresses.

And while the girls took photos togeher, Erin didn’t actually take Lacey to the dance, according to Mashable. She said she felt the dog wasn’t quite ready for the stress of the dance floor. Lacey may be all about that lace, but she probably will get scared by all that bass.

Regardless, these girls look terrific. If you agree, please SHARE with friends and family!

It’s easy to take your safety net for granted, but you never truly know how far away hardship is until you get there.

For Jessica West, that safety net collapsed when she had an unexpected pregnancy. Immediately after discovering she was set to have another child, she lost her job.

From there, it was a slippery slope into the downward spiral of living without a home. She moved her family to Detroit, Michigan and when family couldn’t help her out anymore, she said she spent nights driving around with the kids in the car until they fell asleep.

It wasn’t log until Jessica was a young woman with toddlers living in a homeless shelter. But then, she found an unexpected miracle.

An organization known as the Empowerment Plan came around to help Jessica and women like her. They don’t just give these women a job, they give them a sense of purpose:

The Empowerment Plan produces warm winter coats that double as sleeping bags. They are distributed to the homeless who are stuck on the streets:

This tiny orphan was looking for its mommy, but when she couldn’t be found, the joey found this guy instead.

The officer is Australian police man Constable Scott Mason, who’s just become a father himself. He’s looking after the joey after the four-month-old animal. The kangaroo, who local residents have dubbed Cujoe, was found by police after his mother was hit by a truck in Perth.

The adorable baby was pulled from its dead mom’s pouch and handed to cops in the tiny town of Cue, 385 miles northeast of Perth, on Wednesday morning. 

Since then, the constable has been caring for the little guy. He says he’s excited to have the joey as an addition to the growing family, joking that “because it needs to be fed every three hours, it’s going to be my little child basically, as my wife’s in Perth with our newborn,” Mason told Perth Now.

You can watch the little baby hop into his ‘Mommy’s pouch” in the sweet video below:

Applesauce brand GoGo squeeZ might be a bad apple.

The applesauce maker is typically known among parents as a healthy option compared to other brands. They use limited preservatives and offer organic options.

According to the company, the products are made from “100% real fruit” and are free of “common allergens, including milk, egg, wheat, soy, tree nuts, peanuts, fish and shellfish.”

“Our products are crafted with high-quality, natural ingredients to provide wholesome goodness for squeezing, and enjoying wherever life takes you,” according to the company’s website.

However, a nasty ingredient has found its way into the little pouches: mold:

Parents on Facebook are outraged by what they have been finding in the pouches, often AFTER their kids already consume the product:

Parents are discovering these products contaminated despite the fact that they are well within their expiration dates:

“No illnesses connected to this issue have been reported,” the company said in response. “While it is possible the food product residue may have been incorporated into finished product, we test our applesauce extensively, and at this time, we have not seen evidence of this in our pouches.”

According to the GoGo squeeZ site, the recall only impacts non-organic products and therefore does not include GoGo squeeZ Organic products or GoGo squeeZ YogurtZ.

They are saying the issue was caused by food residue on production equipment. In a press release, the company said the following:

The food product residue was noted during a routine inspection by the Michigan State Department of Agriculture and Rural Development (MDARD), which revealed its presence in two product pumps at the Traverse City, Michigan production facility. It is possible the food product residue may have been incorporated into finished product.

 After issuing a recall, the company appears to have it sorted out to some extent, but it would probably be best to stay away from it for a while.

Go ahead–give it a try! It will tease your brain and test your senses.

You may look a little bit silly as you attempt this trick in the middle of the office, but I assure you it will be well worth it. If you are a fan of optical illusions, we have found a previously unheard of one for you to try out.

Vanessa Hill has shown a simple and brain-bending optical illusion on her YouTube channel BrainCraft that makes a “hole” magically appear in the palm of your hand.

You only need a few things to make the hole come to life. A narrow tube or a snugly rolled piece of paper is essential, and a hand in front of your eyes is the other necessary component.

Then, simply focus for a bit on the end of the tube, let your eyes glaze over and shift focus, and look at your hand. When you look at the palm of your hand you will see something slightly out of the ordinary.

But I’ll let Vanessa Hill explain the rest to you:

If you enjoy optical illusions let us now in the comments and if you have a friend who enoys them more, please SHARE and spread the word about this neat trick!

When One Twin Was On The Brink Of Life, The Other Reached Out A Helping Hand

You’ve heard of twin telepathy, but have you ever heard of something like this?!

Twin telepathy is the idea that twins think alike because they are, well…twins. It’s not exactly a medical term and it has been widely disregarded as urban legend or an old wives tale, but there is more truth in the term than most are willing to give it credit for.

While twins probably don’t know whether the other wants French fries or mashed potatoes, they could have a deeper connection than medicine says is possible. Time and again cases have shown twins possessing a special bond and possibly nothing proves that quite like the story of the Jackson twins.

Brielle and Kyrie Jackson were born 12 weeks premature back in 1995. While they were stable immediately after birth, one soon took a downward spiral. As she fought for her life, a nurse thought of putting the tiny girls in an incubator together. Instinctively, one reached out and wrapped her arm around the other.

The story proves the strength of the human touch and shows how connected we are. In fact, this story was so strong it went on to influence thoughts on medicine.

You can hear the entire inspiring tale below:

Shoppers In Denmark Are Lining Up To Buy…Expired Food?!

Di you know that a third of ALL the food produced each year goes to waste?

This is partly due to the mislabeling of packages or damaging of products. Dozens of perfectly good packages of cheese or dairy may be thrown away simply because the wrong expiration date was printed on the container. Meanwhile, 795 million people around the world are unnourished, according to World Food Programme.

This alarming statistic is relatively ignored by the majority of the developed world, but one company is doing something to combat this problem. WeFood, a Danish supermarket in Copenhagen is working to reduce food waste by selling products other stores have rejected or thrown away. The unique store lines its shelves with cosmetics, household products, and food that is reduced by 30-50 percent.

[Credit: WeFood]
[Credit: WeFood]

All products are legal and safe to consume and have primarily been discarded because they are nearing their expiration dates.

The innovative market is run by the Danish non-profit Fødevarebanken and DanChurchAid, a religious charity dedicated to resolving poverty and hunger. According to Nikolaj Søndergaard, a spokesman for DanChurchAid, proceeds collected from WeFood go towards the company’s work in developing nations.

Since its opening last week, the store has been incredibly successful, commended for its efforts to combat the ridiculous amount of food wastage in Denmark, which annually reaches 700,000 metric tons.

And people are lining up around the block to buy this “expired” food.

wefoodcopenhagen6

Not only does the cause help those around the globe, it helps those right there in the Danish community by allowing them to have more affordable food options.

The program appears to be a success so far in Denmark and we’re hoping it will catch on elsewhere. If you think we need to step up and do something about world hunger and food waste, please SHARE this moving story and make sure people are aware of what’s happening in the world.

Brace Yourself: This Adorable Puppy’s Smile Is Breaking Hearts

Wesley, the six-month-old golden retriever can’t stop smiling.

That’s because the dog just received a new set of braces from veterinarian Dr. Moore (a doogie dentist) and owner of Harborfront Hospital for Animals located in Spring Lake, Michigan.

Wesley belongs to Molly Moore, the daughter of Dr. Moore, and when her new puppy started having issues, the Doctor stepped up with an odd solution. Typically, braces are reserved for socially awkward middle-schoolers, but in this case, a puppy received his own pair.

When Molly first got Wesley, the dog was having a few issues when he began teething. “Once his adult teeth started coming out, we noticed they were coming in wrong and he was unable to close his mouth fully,” Molly told BuzzFeed News.

“He wasn’t playing with his toys and he was losing weight,” she said. “It was very worrying for me, and we needed to do something for him to be pain free and live a happy puppy life.”

[Credit: Molly Moore]
[Credit: Molly Moore]
The solution was to put the puppy under an anesthetic and give him a set of braces that would fix his problems.

Dr. Moore acknowledged that dog braces are an unusual technique, and typically they would be avoided unless absolutely necessary. In this case, Wesley was having issues closing his mouth, so he needed them to improve his quality of life.

[Credit: Harborfront Hospital]
[Credit: Harborfront Hospital]

“We don’t place braces or any oral appliances in the mouth for aesthetics,” Dr. Moore said. “We do this for pain or function.”

The good news is that Wesley won’t be an awkward brace face for long. He only needs to wear them for a few weeks to fix the problem. Then he’ll be back to his usual self.

5 Signs You Have The ‘Grandma Attitude’

$

Earlier this year, Dad bods were all the rage (still not sure why), but a new parental trend is about to sweep through millennials: the grandma attitude.

You’ve probably been noticing this trend more frequently, and chances are you might already have it without even realizing you are well on your way toward being a full-blown Grandma. The grandma attitude is when you don’t have time for the silly youths around you. You’re the wise grandparent of your friend group and you don’t give a literal f*ck. If you experience the following, you might want to consult a physician and get checked to see if you have the Grandma attitude.

1. Going out is a process for you.

You don’t dislike going out, sometimes you even look forward to it, but it needs to match all the right requirements. It can’t be too far away, you can’t leave the house too late, and you definitely refuse to wear heels. The idea of standing around all night with uncomfortable feet makes you question why anybody would ever bother to attempt such a feat.

Image Credit: Giphy
Image Credit: Giphy

Instead, you like going to bars (or even better, barbecues) where you know most of the friends you’re seeing, and won’t have bizarre young people rubbing against you with their strange dance moves. And when you’re ready to go, you’re so effin’ ready to go it’s not even funny. There is no such thing as a second wind for you. You’re friends will have another red bull vodka at 2am so they can keep going. Meanwhile, you’re ready for pizza and Netflix and you will even walk home alone if it means you don’t have to spend another minute in this sleazy saloon.

2. You dislike sleeping the day away.

Another aspect of going out that you dislike is the recuperation the next day. It isn’t worth getting drunk, staying out late, and then sleeping the day away. You enjoy actually doing something with your Sunday morning. You have errands to run, you want to hit the gym, and there’s a book on your nightstand you’ve been meaning to start for over a week. While everybody else is rolling out of bed and into brunch you’ve completed everything you couldn’t do during the week because you had to work.

Your friends say you’re very responsible, but really you just prefer prioritizing your time in the most efficient way possible. FOMO is a thing of the past for you, and you’ve learned to accept your mother’s words that, “nothing good happens past 1am.” She wasn’t talking about drugs and sex, she literally meant nothing fun happens after 1am. The only thing you have to look forward to at that point is painful shoes, wasted friends, and bar fights.

3. You’re the friend everybody goes to for advice.

You’re wise beyond your years and your friends always come to you when they have an “ish.” (Sidenote: I overheard some cool youths recently use the word “ish.” My sources tell me it stands for issue).

Image Credit: Giphy
Image Credit: Giphy

You have encountered something in your past that makes you a good listener. Whether it was a slew of awful relationships or a past involving depression and anxiety issues, your friends know you’ve had the experiences that allow you to grow old and wise beyond your years, so they come to you with their problems. You enjoy listening to them rant about their lives and you try your best to actually help them, if they want to listen. Sometimes, they just need to know how to correctly cook a chicken, so you help them with that too.

4. You know the importance of quality over quantity.

Three boxes of wine for $16 on sale at the grocery store? You’re going to have to pass. You’ve been down the road of bad quality before and you know where it leads. You appreciate the finer things for a little extra money, rather than throwing it away on something you probably won’t enjoy. A quality meal is worth more to you than ten from Taco Bell and a small group of close friends will benefit your life more than a huge gaggle of 27 girlfriends.

5. You are a bed snob.

If you’re anything like me, you have gotten in at least one fight with your friends over this. You cannot understand why somebody would willingly choose to stay later and crash on the floor, rather than leave a little earlier so they can sleep in their bed.

Image Credit: Giphy
Image Credit: Giphy

If a hot guy/girl wants to hook up, that’s great but they better come to your bed. “Oh, you can’t make it? Yeah that’s okay, I wasn’t really in the mood anyway. I’ll see you next week.” Forfeiting quality time with your pillow seems so unnecessary. You only have a third of your life to sleep. Why would you voluntarily give up any of that precious time?

Elderly Dog Cries When Soldier Mom Returns Home

21-year-old soldier Hannah Foraker from Cleveland, Ohio said one of the hardest parts of leaving to train in the army was being separated from her beloved animals.

Foraker told BuzzFeed, “I’ve never been away from home before. I’ve lived a very sheltered life. To have to leave to go to another state alone in a stressful environment like basic training was the hardest thing I’ve ever done.”

She went off for basic training in September, and would only be returning home during the holidays for a brief time. 

Foraker had to leave behind her family, her horse, Derby, and her 13-year-old golden retriever, Buddy.

Buddy was once an active dog, but as he got older, he developed arthritis and is mostly deaf.

When she returned home for two weeks over the holidays, the reunion between her and Buddy was very emotional. The family filmed the reunion, and Foraker said, “We opened the front door and she came running out and greeted me and my family, but then kind of did a double take and came back to me.”

The video below shows Buddy being so overwhelmed to see Foraker, that she couldn’t even stand up! She just cried and rested her head on Foraker’s lap. 

Foraker said, “My parents were so astonished by how happy she was during my time at home. She normally has trouble going up and down the stairs and takes shorter walks, but now that I was home she was so happy and active. She would get up and do her happy dance.”

Watch the beautiful reunion below and please SHARE it with your friends and family on Facebook!

The 10 Commandments Of Boozing After College

Transitioning into adulthood after college has two modes: hard or really hard.

Few of us do it gracefully and nobody breezes into adulthood without a struggle. Figuring out your life is not for the faint of heart. There’s the struggle of finding employment, changes in your daily lifestyle, and your social circle is often flipped upside down. Changing your social habits are hard and some do it more gracefully than others. As a degree-holding adult, you can still go out and paint the town red, but there are a few new rules that didn’t exist before.

1.) Thou shall know thy limits.

This rule is number one because it is the most important on the list. There’s nothing worse than somebody who has made it to their mid-twenties, yet they are still vomiting on the sidewalk at 3am. Sure, it still happens here and there, but if you are publicly puking past college or you find yourself tossing your cookies every time you go out for drinks, it’s time to make a change.

When Freshman get too sloppy, it’s expected. They’re precious babies that have no experience with frat parties. When seniors get belligerent and push the limit, it’s annoying. When you’re in the post-grad phase and you’re still unable to keep it down, it’s sad. Learn your limits and respect them.

2.) Thou shall dress accordingly

I’m not one to judge people for the ways they like to express themselves, but there’s a time and a place for everything. The moldy basement of a frat house at 1 am may not be the time or the place to roll in wearing 5-inch heels and a tight dress, but I saw quite a few cases of this in college. I even made this blunder during my Welcome Week way back when.

In college, this faux pas is excusable, but try to dress for the occasion once you graduate. Don’t overdress for a dive bar and try to avoid under-dressing for a ritzy club.

3.) Remember the Sabbath and keep it sober.

If you choose to go out to a bar on a Sunday night to catch the game with friends, don’t let yourself get wasted. Exceptions can be made for the Superbowl and other extreme cases, but for the most part, stay chill on the Sabbath.

Your boss will not appreciate you rolling into work at 10 am, hungover because half-off appetizers got out of control last night.

4.) Honor thy time of closing.

I remember this one night in college when the bar closed at 2am, but we hung around outside on the sidewalk for a good half-hour after that place shut down. We stayed out because a troop of boys we liked were hanging around smoking cigarettes.

If that happened today, we’d cut our loses and head home. Clearly, they weren’t interested in us so hanging around only made us look desperate. If you’re loitering outside a bar after the doors have been shut, you’ve hit the desperate hour of the night. If you couldn’t seal the deal inside the bar, chances are you’re not going to do it outside the venue either.

5.) Thou shall tip accordingly.

In the college town I went to school in, we had these terrible bars that didn’t ID. They let anybody through the door, and for that reason, most of the people that came through were Freshmen. These 18-year-old babies didn’t know proper etiquette of the bar, so few patrons tipped and few bartenders expected tips.

When you get into the real world, bars don’t work like that. If the bartender serves you a beer, it’s a rule of thumb that you leave a dollar. Mixed drinks can vary depending on their complexity, and if you’re getting multiple beers, make sure you leave multiple dollars.

6.) Thou shall not fight.

Why is it that after just a few beers, testosterone-charged men have a tendency to turn a shove in a crowded bar into a brawl? Fighting in a bar is not cool. It makes you look like you have issues or can’t control your temper when you’ve had alcohol. It does not and will never make you look tough.

The real winner of the fight is the one who walks away (which rarely happens). If you find yourself in a place to fight, try to stop yourself from doing so. Your sober self will thank you.

7.) Thou shall know thine demographic

Once you graduate, even if you stay in the area for work, resist the urge to go to the same old college bars. You’ve moved on with your life so it’s time to move on with your social circles. The same goes for people that are approaching 30. If everybody in the crowd is 25 or younger, try to frequent a more mature venues.

8.) Thou shall learn to turn down a free drink.

When somebody offers to buy you a drink, think long and hard before you accept. The general rule of a drink is that you stay and have a conversation as long as the drink lasts. In that amount of time, you can usually decide if that person has spiked your interest enough to exchange information.

Do not, however, take the drink, say thank you, and immediately walk away. That’s a poor way to treat a human being and while I’ve had friends that have done this, it’s unacceptable drinking etiquette and karma will come back at you for it.

9.) Thou shall not covet thy best friend’s hookup.

If your friend happens to reel one in, respect the code. If you aren’t flirting or dancing with anybody, avoid being a downer on your friend. Just because nobody is paying attention to you doesn’t mean this place sucks and you have to leave now. There will probably be times when the situation is flipped and you’ll be grateful when that friend gives you the same courtesy.

10.) Thou shall not eat disgusting munchies at 4 am.

At some point, it’s time to learn responsibility. One of the best gifts you can give yourself is the gift of self-control. Resist the urge to shovel greasy food down your throat after destroying pieces of your liver but before you pass out in a pile of sheets and the clothes you wore to the bar. It’s bad enough that you’re poisoning your blood with alcohol (but we’re going to keep doing it, anyway). Throwing greasy food into the sludge already in your stomach will just make you regret everything in the morning.

Who says the bride always has to be the center of attention on her wedding day?!

Planning a wedding can often take months and months of preparation, but when it finally comes down to the big day, a bride and groom should prep themselves for just about anything. As you can see in these hilarious wedding photo fails, there are some things that you can never really see coming!

However, you can usually tell a lot about a couple by how a bride and groom handle the twists and turns of their celebration. In the video below, we see how bride-to-be Tanya Malone was all smiles as her father walked her down the aisle in church to marry the love of her life, Mark.

Yet Tanya didn’t realize her 4-year-old nephew Rhys had a surprise in store for the bride in her gorgeous gown.

Rhys managed to steal the spotlight away from his aunt by running down the aisle behind her and diving on her wedding dress in the most unforgettable fashion.

Tanya’s sister Antonia told BuzzFeed that her young son jumped on his aunt’s gown because “he thought it was like clouds.” And although you can hear more gasps then chuckles in the shocking clip, Tanya was luckily able to not let the little mishap spoil her happy moment.

“My sister absolutely no problem with it,” Antonia went on to tell BuzzFeed. “She went on to marry the love of her life.”

This hysterical video proves foxes really can be sly. 

Twitter user, Chris Hargreaves was golfing with his three friends at County Louth Golf Club in Baltray, Ireland was something really unexpected happened. 

A curious fox joined them on the links and they stopped to photograph the animal as it sniffed Hargreave’s golf bag. Suddenly, the fox pulled Hargreave’s wallet from his bag and walked away with it. The golfer immediately chased after the fox who dropped the wallet as it ran away. 

What’s crazy is the fox knew the most valuable thing in the bag to go for. Although, it’s not like he could have used the money for anything anyway, he is still a fox. 

Regardless, the whole ordeal was too funny. 

Watch the sly fox below and please SHARE it with your friends and family on Facebook!
