A Little Bit of Awesome: 9/16/2020

A woman in New York kept her granddaughter entertained in lockdown by building houses for mythical creatures. They made 14 tiny homes outside for fairies to live in, and created a tour other kids could go on. They posted a virtual version of the tour on YouTube that the granddaughter narrates.


A high school teacher in Wisconsin welcomed kids back with a parody of the “Friends” theme, where all the lyrics are about distance learning.


A mom asked her young daughter what they’re going to tell dad when he gets home, and the little girl answered… Well, you’ll have to click HERE to find out.
Kids. Am I right?


A video has gone viral of a guy cutting down a tree in somebody’s front yard, but it ends up falling right on their house. In frustration, he launches into a profanity-laced tirade. (It happened last year but the video is making the rounds now.)
WARNING: This guy swears… a lot. Just fyi. You’ve been warned. Maybe watch it with the sound off.
