Kindergarten is a magical year of “school.” It is a transition from preschool to a structured setting. The year is a building block to acclimate students to learning so they can move up to first grade and beyond. One of the tools used to help students open up is when the teacher asks questions and writes the student’s responses. Alesha Catherine did this exercise with her kindergarteners to prepare for Mother’s Day. The entire questionnaire included questions about mom’s favorite food, job, favorite color, what she is good at, what makes her happy, and more. Image from TikTok. The students provided some interesting answers. When people viewing the slideshow said the answers were fake, Alesha had to post an update explaining how the pages were compiled. @aleshacatherine Replying to @Alesha Catherine I wrote them ♬ original sound – Alesha Catherine According to these kindergarteners, their mother’s ages range from one to 31 hundred years old. The 4- and 5-year-old students do not know their moms’ age. And that’s just fine. They’re kids and don’t need to worry about that. The answers were hilarious. Images from TikTok. Kids are notorious for saying anything that pops into their head. It is no surprise that some of the answers on these kindergarteners’ Mother’s Day questionnaires are slightly askew. Overall, the reigning thought after reading all the responses was how cute these kids can be. Almost every child conveyed feelings of love, care, and comfort within their answers. Image from TikTok. I remember a similar questionaire when my own daughter was in kindergarten. Teachers have been doing this in classrooms for many years. The answers never get old. Every child brings a refreshing view to the routine questions. We should celebrate the uniqueness of each one. Please share this if you laughed flipping through the slideshow.

'A scene from 'Red Dawn''

Our Top 10 Elton John Love Songs list presents a group of songs expressing love in various ways. With a lyricist as brilliant as Bernie Taupin and a melody maker as talented as Elton John, the concept of love songs can take on a meaning far deeper than just your average tear-jerker ballad. Bernie Taupin’s lyrics have always dug deep into personal consciousness and the human experiment. Of course, at times, there was also a simplicity about them defined by class and originality. Almost nothing that Elton John and Bernie Taupin have composed together has been disappointing. Elton John’s first The post Top 10 Elton John Love Songs appeared first on ClassicRockHistory.com.

120 years ago today, Salvador Dali was born. Known for his striking and bizarre images, he is one of, if not the most famous surrealist painter in history. Inspired by the Renaissance masters, Dali nevertheless gravitated to the surrealist movements in the early 20th century. He would live in France for the duration of the […] The post Good News in History, May 11 appeared first on Good News Network.

Biden's Latest Attack on Israel May Be the Worst

It’s easy to think of the plant world as gentle and calm, but take a closer look and you’ll find plenty of plant life that doesn’t quite fit that perspective. That includes the Chinese witch hazel (Hamamelis mollis), which scientists have captured squeezing out its seeds with an impressive level of force.It all started at the University of Freiburg. “By coincidence, we had a twig of this plant in an office, and it started shooting the seeds,” Simon Poppinga, the study’s lead author told The New York Times. “This triggered our interest in it, so we started investigating, and it became more interesting and even more interesting and even more interesting.”Many plants exhibit ballistochory, a form of seed dispersal characterized by forceful ejection, but using a combination of MRI scans, microscopy, and high-speed camera footage, Poppinga and the team were able to figure out exactly how the Chinese witch hazel does it.They discovered that the fruits of the plant act as “drying squeeze catapults”. As the outer part of the fruit (the exocarp) dries out, it shrinks, whilst the inner part (the endocarp) also changes shape. This puts increasing amounts of mechanical pressure on the seed inside until it shoots out, a mechanism used by the similarly speedy Sphagnum mosses. When that happens, you can actually hear the connective structures linking the endocarp and the seed together breaking, with what the researchers call a “distinct cracking sound”.“You hear the crack and then it shoots out,” said fellow author Thomas Speck. “The fascinating thing is there is no explosive mechanism.”And when the seed goes, it goes. It launches with a force equivalent to approximately 2000g – way, way beyond the G-force that a human could tolerate, not that we’re planning on being thrown out of fruit – and then flies through the air at a maximum of around 27.5 miles per hour (44.3 kilometers per hour). The study suggests that the seeds could even land as far as 18 meters (59 feet) away.Those are some impressive stats, but what the team found interesting was that the seeds also spun as they flew, some even doing so up to 25,000 revolutions per minute. The authors attributed this to a tiny ridge on the seed – much like how grooves on the inside of a rifle barrel put spin on a bullet.“We hypothesize that these features increase the dispersal distance of H. mollis seeds,” the team writes in the study. What isn’t entirely clear is why the Chinese witch hazel needs this extra distance, though it’s suspected that it’s because it lives in the undergrowth; firing its seeds further might help it better compete in a potentially less crowded spot.Not sure what the new neighbors will have to say about the racket it makes, though.The study is published in the Journal of the Royal Society Interface.

AGAIN!? Ron DeSantis 'Needs to Make Gavin Newsom a New Poop Map'

Earlier this week, Electronic Arts CEO Andrew Wilson announced that the company was looking to increase its profits even more. This time, by adding advertisements in its AAA video games, which already cost consumers $70 a go. As you can imagine, the response from the gaming community has been mostly negative, with some even mocking up hilarious examples of how the feature may work.
