These Kids Were Being Huge Brats During Dinner. But No One Expected THIS Punishment!
Sitting down for a meal should be a social and interactive event for everyone gathered around the table. Dinners are a time to catch up in our busy lives with family and friends and good old fashioned conversation seems to flow better over food and drinks.
For years people have taken time in their lives to stop whatever it was they were doing so they could sit down to enjoy meals with others. However, in recent times the dinner table dynamic has taken a drastic turn for the worse.
People now bring their phones, tablets and other gadgets to dinner, whip them out, and bury their heads in the devices. They pay no attention to others and focus on the little glowing screen, oblivious to the world around them. Others can’t tear themselves away from the TV and blast the distracting box way too loud so they can hear it through their chewing.
No one else present can get a word in and it’s becoming all too common for people to eat mindlessly in front of TVs. Texting is basically a person typing private messages to another and when it’s done at the table it’s rude and shows nothing but a lack of respect for fellow dining companions. It’s that simple yet people still do it, like they’re addicts.
That is the sad reality shown clearly in this video from Dolmio, a company that makes Italian sauces and now a new clever invention aptly named the “Pepper Hacker.” The pepper hacker looks like an ordinary wooden pepper grinder but it contains a powerful hidden secret within.
With just one simple twist it activates a technology type signal blocker and shuts down TVs, WiFi, and mobile devices in an instant. To show its effectiveness, the company gave them to frustrated mothers and recorded the families reactions. Kids went nuts, cursing their devices and throwing fits, and frantically tried to figure out what was wrong with their phones, tablets, and TVs.
However, it was also time for dinner so they put aside their confusion and sat down for a nice homemade family meal. The scenes without gadgets at the dinner table tell the real story. Children talked, interacted, and engaged fully with one another and their parents instead of staring at their phones like checked out zombies. People all smiled, joked, and enjoyed themselves for once, which is how dinner should always be.
As awesome and neat as the Pepper Hacker device is, it’s also sadly unavailable for purchase right now. According to it’s creator, Brendan Forster, the gadget is still in development and prototype stages and has yet to be produced on a large scale.
Either way, you can always make it a house rule that cellphones, iPads, and similar devices are banned from the dinner table, or just turn off the WiFi and lay down the law!

I Was Confused When Mom Put A Container Of Toys Into The Freezer. But The Reason Is Surprisingly Brilliant!
When kids are home in the summertime you need to keep them busy and engaged in fun activities. Children often lose interest in their toys and the same old games they play day in and day out. When boredom sets in no one has fun. If you find that you’re running out of ideas to keep them entertained, check out these ice toys.
They’re a novel way to keep kids busy for a long time when it’s really hot outside and you can make them at home with a few simple items that you likely already have on hand. Your kids will play with them for hours and will love having a new activity to do!
First up is ice toys which are made by using a plastic tub or bin, small toys that can get wet, and colored liquids. Place the toys in the bin, pour some liquid over them, and freeze it until completely frozen. Take it out and pour another color over the first layer.
Make sure the liquid you pour on top of the first frozen layer is very cold because if it’s too warm it will crack the layer underneath it. Freeze that layer completely and repeat the process, adding as many different layers of colored liquid as you’d like.
It takes awhile for all the layers to completely freeze so be sure to start this well in advance of when you want to use it. When it’s time to play, give the kids some tools to work with and help them figure out how to get the toys out of the ice. It should hold their attention for a long time and if it doesn’t simply pop the ice back in the freezer and come back to it at another time.
Next is ice paints that you can make with paint, an ice cube tray, water, and toothpicks. Fill an ice cube container a third of the way with paint, then top them off with water. Stir the paint and water, freeze for about two hours, then stick a toothpick in each paint cube and allow it to completely freeze. Take them out and have the kids paint with the ice cubes on paper as they melt.
The third project is ice boats. You will need small plastic containers, supplies to make sails with (such as paper, fabric, toothpicks, umbrella toothpicks, or small bamboo forks), and finally aluminum foil to make a river. Freeze water in the plastic containers and halfway through freezing them stick a toothpick, or whatever you choose to use for the mast, in the middle of them.
After they completely freeze take them out and glue or tape on some fabric or paper sails. Take some tin foil and form a ‘river’ out of it where the ice boats can float down. Then grab a hose so there is a constant flow of water and have the kids sail their boats down the river. They can race their boats and will play with these fun toys until they melt!

This Cowboy Dad Catches His Daughter Dancing To Hip Hop. Now Watch His Reaction!
There are few forces in the universe as powerful as the love of a father for his daughter. For each of them, it is a relationship and special part of life that cannot be replicated. From the moment he first meets her, a father is wrapped around her tiny little finger, and there is nothing that he wouldn’t do for her.
A girl learns love, trust and confidence from her father, which helps guide her on her path as she becomes a woman. A man learns how to provide for, protect, love and let go of his little girl, teaching him valuable life lessons that make him a better man.
When the video begins, it just seems like any other girl filming herself dancing to hip hop, but everything changes when her cowboy father sees her and steps up to the plate. His first few steps are not quite on, as he tries his best to synchronize with her.
Pretty soon, he is dancing so well it seems like they have been practicing together for weeks. He flawlessly whips and naenae’s at just the right time, with impeccable style and a heart full of love. Every father-daughter relationship is like a dance.
As each person moves, the other does their best to move in a way that is complimentary, but it isn’t always easy, and sometimes it doesn’t look pretty. But in the end, both people learn things about themselves and the other person that inform their growth together and as individuals. Tell us about your reaction to this video in the comments.

Father and Son Are Driving In The Car When The Sinatra Music Drops.
Family is the most important thing in life to many people. Now that it’s January and Christmas and the holidays are over we tend to forget this and get back into our normal daily grind. It’s so important though to always cherish your loved ones all year and not just during the holiday season. In the end it is family and friends and the love we share together. One very special bond is between a parent and their children. In the case of the video below it’s is between a dad and his little boy. The father-son relationship is so unique, and has a huge influence in how little boys feel about themselves, and the kind of men they grow up to be.
Sure, we’ve all seen lots of cute videos of dads with their sons, but without exaggeration the one you are about to watch below is like no other! If you’ve had a good day, watching this will make it even better; if your day hasn’t been so hot this is sure to put a smile on your face and in your heart!
I know I wasn’t feeling so great today as January is dragging on and we are sitting here on another Monday! As soon as this video came up and I turned up the volume, my frown was completely flipped upside down. The love between this adorable father and son is undeniable and quite entertaining. If you haven’t sang a duet with your child yet I highly recommend you try it out. Even if you can’t sing on key it is always a great way to spend time with your little one.
This duet is taking a drive together when the music starts… it’s Frank Sinatra and Sammy Davis Jr.’s recording of “Me and My Shadow”. The symbolism of the lyrics for the incredible bond between these buddies is apparent. But the two of them singing along to the tune in perfect harmony…I never! The most amazing thing is this little guy is singing the harmony to his dad’s beautiful voice carrying the melody. This is 3 minutes of pure enjoyment that is just incredible… Hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

She Had Been Giving Birth To Her Baby. But The Obstetrician Was Behaving Really Weird and Then They Saw His Feet!

Giving birth is probably the most intense and painful experience any woman goes through during their lifetime. Many love being pregnant because they can eat whatever they want, their skin glows and the anticipation of a new child is just incredible everyday of your pregnancy. However, one part of pregnancy is something many women fear; the day of the birth!
Especially if it is your first child, not knowing what is coming and being completely unprepared lead to a lost of stress and anxiety. This is one of the reasons women go to lamaze classes to prepare their breathing techniques, relaxation techniques, their minds, body and soul for that fateful day of birth. With that being said, some women really do have a terrifying and uncomfortable birth due to complications..
This brings us to today’s story which features a pregnant woman named Alex Simms hailing from Las Vegas, Nevada and works as a pre-school teacher. Alex was in her 9th month of pregnancy and she was practically exploring out of her belly. Her water broke and it was time to rush to the hospital because the big moment had finally arrived!
She got to the hospital as fast as she could because she knew her baby which she decided to name Jared was mere moments from leaving the womb! The doctors told her they were going to induce her into Labor but, because the birth showed serious signs of complications they were now opting for a C-Section.
In addition to all the complications expectant mom Alex was experiencing the doctor who she had been seeing during her entire pregnancy wasn’t even there because he was on a family trip! This really raised her anxiety and stress level! When the new and random doctor on call walked into the room something just seemed off about him. Alex and her mom who was going to be with her the whole time during the birth even caught a whiff of alcohol on his breath!
He was clearly tipsy because he had just left a bar thinking his day was over, but then he got called in. He told his nurse what had happened and she jokingly asked him what kind of alcohol he had to leave at the table. They both had a good chuckle then entered the labor room.
As they are prepping for the birth, you can hear her again on a video asking him if it was vodka. He replies as if nothing strange is happening, nope it was tequila! Keep in mind this was all done in front of his patient Alex and her mother!
Now they were super freaked what they saw next when they looked down at his feet sent them over the edge!
