He said "fanks" with a smile

We all remember this video that went viral a while back, right?

I mean how could you not, the sparkle in the little boy’s eyes as he holds up the avocado is more than enough to smile about for a while. It was from a YouTube Challenge that late night TV show host Jimmy Kimmel called for. He asked for parents just to give their kids terrible presents and film their reactions. If you haven’t seen the full video and need a laugh amidst finals stress, watch it here.

Some of the kids are pissed, I mean really just are not appreciating the joke whatsoever. Almost all of the kids filmed gave their parents attitudes, grunts, and pouts. Except, for the little cutie who got an avocado.

Christmas so often gets clouded by material wants, wishes and hopes. My little sister is the sweetest kid in the world, but one year she wanted a certain Go Pro and when “Santa” put the wrong one under the tree, the whole vibe of the morning changed.

Basically, we should all take an important lesson from the little boy who was happy enough to get a fruit wrapped nicely under the tree. It truly is the thought that counts behind gifts, and even though the little boy in the famous vine probably didn't understand the thought behind his parent's odd gift, he accepted it happily and with gratitude. At such a young age, it seems he realizes that Christmas is about more than what you're unwrapping.

Maybe I am being too sappy – we all do love a nice expensive gift or two under the tree that we have had our eye on the whole year. The case I am trying to make is that even though we have those wants, if we end up getting a "terrible," present we should still be happy to have family, good food, and friends around us this Christmas.

Anyway, if we take anything from this article, it is that we are all this kid when we find a perfect avocado.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
