Jaime Primak Sullivan wants her three young children to learn good manners. So when they didn't thank a Dairy Queen server for giving them ice cream, she threw it in the trash. She writes on Facebook:

The young lady (maybe 17) handed each child their ice cream. Not one looked her in the eye. Not one said thank you. Not to her, not to me... So I waited. I counted to 10

in my head as they dug into their ice cream and the young lady just looked at me (probably because she thought I was hearing voices) and I watched as my children strolled out the door. I followed them outside where I calmly collected their ice creams and my kids watched in horror as I deposited them into the nearby garbage can. All 3 launched into mass hysteria. I waited. Quiet. Calm. When they realized I had something to say, they quieted down.

I explained that one day, if they were lucky, they would work a job like that young lady. And I would hope that people would see them. Really see them. Look them in the eye and say thank you. We are too old at 8/7/5 to move through our days without exercising manners and honestly basic human decency.

So today, I am the meanest mom in the world.

Sullivan's post has gone viral, gaining 49,000 shares so far. Some commenters think that she did exactly the right thing, giving her kids some tough love about being polite. But Ronda Robinson at PJ Media disagrees:

Good parenting does not include setting your children up to fail or engaging in public humiliation. Punishment should be reserved for crimes. It shouldn't be a punishable offense to not say "thank you" or to fail "see" a teenager behind the ice cream counter. These are traits of childish behavior at best, or failed parenting skills at worst, depending on the children.

Matthew Canning is a rock ’n’ roller, and so is his three-year-old daughter Lily. They recently played a game of Name That Tune with Led Zeppelin songs, which are her favorites.

(YouTube link)

Lily ends the game with a request, a dance, and a sing-along. It took me longer than three years to learn the names of all those songs when I was much older than Lily, but to be fair, their releases were separated by more than three years. -via Arbroath

James Breakwell (Exploding Unicorn) has been called the funniest Dad on Twitter. But it’s actually his four daughters who are the funny ones. Years ago, I tried my best to remember the funny things my kids said long enough to tell my Mom, but today with Twitter and smartphones, they can be instantly recorded. Some of these are priceless.

4-year-old: What happens when you die?

Me: You go to heaven.

4: No, I mean when you die, do I get your stuff?

5-year-old daughter: Why does Mom wear makeup?

Me: To look pretty.

5: But she's already pretty.

Me: Aww.

5: Dad, you should wear makeup.

A mysterious video from somewhere in China shows police attempting to shut down an illegal street vendor. The owner's grandson picks up a steel pipe and brandishes it against the cops, yelling "Don't touch my grandma! Go away, don't touch my grandma!" (auto-start video). Go get 'em, kid!

About 60% of people with Down Syndrome have vision problems. But most eyeglasses frames won't fit the facial features of people with it.

For Maria Dellapina, a single mother of 4 children, that was a problem. Her daughter, Erin, couldn't find glasses that fit her. So in 2004, she founded SPECS4US, a company that produces glasses for children and adults with Down Syndrome. The Erin's World line of frames gives users fashionable, practical choices for glasses.

The Huffington Post describes how the Erin's World glasses are different:

However, because many people with the disorder have flattened faces, particularly the bridge of their noses, it’s difficult to find frames that fit. 

“I noticed a typical frame wouldn’t fit properly,” Dellapina, who had originally designed some frames for her daughter on a piece of paper, said at the conference.

To help alleviate the issue, Specs4us’ “Erin’s World” frame line, inspired by Dellapina’s daughter, is crafted to accommodate a low nasal bridge, according to the company’s website. The arms of the glasses are also modified to prevent them from slipping down.

Misty Vaughn felt awful. She took her temperature. The thermometer read 105ºF. Then she passed out.

She came very close to dying or suffering brain damage. But her son, 4-year old Camden, leaped into action. He unlocked his mother's phone and called a doctor--his own father. KVUE quotes Dr. Jeremy Vaughn:

"He said, 'Daddy I need you to come home! Mommy can't get in the bath because she can't wake up!' And I said: 'I'm on my way!'"

Remember, Camden is just four years old. But he unlocked his mom's iPhone and found his dad's photo at the the top of the favorites list.

"And tap the phone button, and the star, and hit the pictures," the youngster explained.

For all of these years, we've been eating bologna wrong. Toddler siblings Tyson and Lilly have discovered the right way. They found that the meat product is naturally adhesive to flat surfaces. So they trimmed it into shapes with their teeth, then fixed it to the walls of their home.

There's a lot of potential in this art form. An inventive artist like Hong Yi could work wonders with bologna.

Kids who have cool dads had to go to great lengths to prove it before the internet, but now they can just share stories, pics and things they're dad said through social media, making this a great time to be a cool dad.

(Image Link)

But even better than cool dads are those funny dads who give zero f$#ks about what people think of their silly sense of humor, because we have them to thank for all the dad jokes.

(Image Link)

Dad jokes are always share friendly, sometimes punny sometimes trendy in a groanworthy way, but when you're tired of teenager selfies or silly baby Vine vids you can always count on a dad joke to lift your spirits.

This is Isabelle Kaplan and her mom Mackenzie:

As you can see Isabelle was born with a full head of hair, which made her quite famous on the interwebs when Mackenzie's cousin posted the pic to Reddit.

But as we all know there are Photoshoppers galore on Reddit, and before she could blink her pretty little eyes the Photoshopping had begun and Isabelle could dance like her hair hero Elvis.

(Image Link)

Since the cousin who posted the pic remarked that Isabelle had "news anchor hair" this delightful travesty happened:

Once she shaved the 'stache she wound up playing for millions in Las Vegas, but Isabelle doesn't need help from Photoshop to have a bright future because she's already a star!

You have a lemonade stand? That's cute. Mikaila Ulmer has a multi-million dollar lemonade empire.

This 11-year old girl from Austin, Texas took her great-grandmother's lemonade recipe from 1940 and turned it into a business. She appeared on the TV show Shark Tank last year, where she secured $60,000 of capital for her Me & The Bees brand lemonade. Now the Whole Foods supermarket chain has decided to sell it in 55 stores across the United States.

What makes Mikaila's lemonade special is that it's sweetened with honey instead of sugar. She hopes to not only sell a healthy, profitable product, but to also promote beekeeping.

Mikaila is now famous. But she didn't start that way. She's been working on this project for a long time. NBC News reports:

Mikaila, who started her lemonade business in 2009, said the operation takes organization, commitment and energy.

"I work on the business after school, after I do my homework, and on weekends and during spring breaks," Mikaila said in an interview with NBCBLK. "There are not too many times when I feel stressed." [...]

"I think she is a pretty hard worker," D'Andra Ulmer, Mikaila's mother, told NBCBLK. "I'm impressed with how she gets her homework done during her travels. She has a gift for public speaking but what makes me very proud is that she is not only a smart entrepreneur but she's a good person and she's kind to people. That's more important than business."
