4-Year Old with One Arm Has Fantastic Golf Swing

Tommy Morrissey is only 4 years old, which alone would make him an impressive golf prodigy. What's only more amazing is that he's attained such a high level at the sport even though he was born without a right arm. Metro reports:

If a four-year-old capable of hitting the ball over 100 yards wasn’t already astonishing enough, it’s worth mentioning that Tommy manages to drive fairways, avoid bunkers, chip greens and sink putts using just one arm.

The young boy from Florida was born missing most of his right arm, but hasn’t let that stop him from inspiring millions with his wonderful spirit and incredible skill.

That's because, as Fox Sports puts it, Tommy doesn't see himself as a disabled child. The absence of an arm doesn't hold him back--a message that he shares with kids and adults.

Baby Born at Legoland Gets Lifetime Pass

(Photo: Atkinson Family)

As Carolyn Cox of The Mary Sue puts it, "he was born with a silver brick in his mouth." The Legoland park and resort in Windsor, UK recently got a unique minifig. Lucas Atkinson was born there last August when his mother went into labor in the parking lot of the theme park. That wasn't intentional. She was just making a detour on the way to the hospital. Little Lucas was ready to be born at that very moment.

Park officials have responded by giving the boy a lifetime pass. That's a whole lot of adventure and constructive play to pack in!

Is This 8-Year Old's Newspaper Better Than Yours?


(Photo: Columbia Journalism Review/Joe Pompeo)

This is Hilde Lysiak, 8, the founder and chief reporter of The Orange Street News. It's a monthly newspaper and, in fact, the only newspaper for Selinsgrove, Pennsylvania, a town of about 5,000 people. Hilde is and old-fashioned, gumshoe journalist who focuses on hard news. The Columbia Journalism Review followed her on the job as she investigated the effects of a local tornado strike:

An older man with an ample potbelly answered, and apologized for being shirtless. With a mix of affability and confusion, he looked down at the freckly blonde 8-year-old standing before him. She had her pen and pad in hand. Homemade press credentials dangled from her neck. “Hi. I’m Hilde from The Orange Street News, and I was wondering if you could tell me what happened a couple nights ago.”

He gestured to his neighbor’s property. “This gentleman over here got the worst of it,” he said. “It went through his house and then went out in the middle of the Susquehanna River and went to the south.” Hilde took notes. She asked the man for his name and spelled out the letters in her notebook: “B-O-B M-A-Y-H-E-W.”

Father Forged Replica Of Thor's Hammer For His Four-Year-Old Son

Only a stone-hearted supervillain would deny a child's wish to dress up and play the role of their favorite superhero, and if you're the father of that future cosplayer you really can't say no.

But if you're a crafty father you'll probably just see their superheroic dreams as a challenge to make your kid something amazing.

Redditor Crux1836's son wanted only one thing for his fourth birthday- "a Thor hammer, a REAL Thor hammer!", so daddy went to work with fire and steel and forged a rough but battle ready Mjölnir for his son.

Now son of Crux1836 is probably the only kid in his town with a steel Mjölnir replica (and hopefully he's not a destructive child), but how's the kid supposed to grow up to be Thor if he's never handled a real hammer?

Kids Try Dark Chocolate

Hey, sweetie, want some chocolate? These kids are expecting the sweet milk chocolate they’ve always had, but this is dark chocolate. The kind grownups eat, without so much milk and sugar. In slow motion, you can see the shock, disappointment, and near panic in their eyes.

Once they get a bite, we adults don’t have to hide our chocolate stash from the youngsters any more. This is an ad from Splendid Chocolates of Quebec. It’s hard to see how this will sell more chocolate, but it’s awfully cute. -via Buzzfeed

Guardians of the Galaxy Helped a Little Boy Learn How to Speak


(Image: Disney)

Groot, a tree-like creature in the Marvel superhero movie Guardians of the Galaxy, says only one thing: "I am Groot."

When 4-year old Sawyer Dunlap saw the movie a year ago, he connected with Groot in a special way. Sawyer has the dyspraxia, which inhibits his ability to speak. Groot has helped him overcome this obstacle. Sawyer's father, Josh Dunlap, recently wrote on Facebook:

When Guardians came out Sawyer could only say about three words and would communicate to his mother and I by other means. When he saw Groot, something clicked inside him and he connected with him on a level I haven't seen. He began to mimic him and he would use the word "Bah" for a lot, but after he saw the film, he would change the tone in which he said it to convey a different meaning. He would also start saying Groot for many things as well. Since that, he was finally able to go to a speech class and it has helped amazingly. I just wanted to thank you though, for a script and movie that was written so well that a four year old, three at that time, could connect with someone who had the same language barrier.

Reporter Makes Schoolboy Cry

My family recently celebrated the final “first day of school” ever, as the youngest two of our seven began their senior year in high school. Yay. I also have a granddaughter starting preschool. Let’s have some sympathy for the little children attending school for the first time.

A reporter is interviewing a 4-year-old on his first day of pre-kindergarten (also known as preschool). She must not have children yet, because any mother knows that you don’t ask THAT question. It’s like turning on a faucet. -via Uproxx
