I can respect this open-minded approach to parenting. Still, I think that a little nudge in the right direction can help a child make the right decision.
Alternatively, you can nudge them in the wrong direction so that when they rebel as teenagers, they'll end up making the right choice.
Ewoks look so cute that I want to just eat them up! LydMc's sushi Ewoks also look great. She made her Sushiwoks with avocado, basil leaves, seaweed, smoked salmon and yams. LydMc also made Ewok kiwifruit, or what she calls Kiwoks. You can see them at the link.

Grant Thompson calls his technique "waterbending." He uses it to instantly turn water into ice. The trick is to pour liquid water that is nearly--but not quite--crystallized onto ice. Contact with the ice triggers a visually stunning reaction.

Donald Featherstone, an artist, is most famous for inventing the plastic pink flamingo lawn ornament. But people who know him and his wife Nancy well think of them as an incredibly close and romantic couple. For the past 35 years, they've worn matching outfits everywhere they go. Mrs. Featherstone writes:
Whoever gets there first gets to choose what we're wearing. It's not a stampede, though; we're both amenable to the other's choice. If we're going to a party, we'll discuss what to wear like any other couple, except the difference is we want to look the same. Someone once told me that if she and her husband came down wearing the same colour top, they'd change. What a shame to be so insecure. We both have very strong identities as individuals and wearing the same clothes doesn't affect this; clothes don't make your personality. Instead, dressing the same gives me a lovely feeling of closeness to Donald. I've never not felt like doing it; we've done it for so long now that it would feel unnatural not to.
Donald used to have to travel for business and when I packed his case, I'd tell him which outfit to wear on which day, so we coordinated even though we were apart. It helped us feel connected to each other. But his boss realised Donald was much more productive if I came along, too, so I'd help out at the conventions. It was good for business, because people would seek out our stall year after year to see what we were wearing.
We don't like to be apart. Donald proposed on our first date and we've been together almost all the time since. If you want to do things by yourself, why get married? Why have separate hobbies? We never argue – Donald says he learned long ago to say, "Yes, dear", but in fact it's because we have a strong foundation. Being with him is never an effort. [...]
All it is is a positive reflection of the nature of our relationship. We're a matched set.

Breeze somehow lost his mother when he was only a few days old. While the Mare and Foal Sanctuary of Devon County, England was able to help nurse him back to health, they still couldn't provide the warmth and comfort Breeze's mother would ordinarily offer to the colt. They could, however, provide him with a teddy bear that he could cuddle with -and the replacement works. Little Breeze now cuddles up with his bear friend every night before bed.

What's cuter than one of the world's smallest deer? A baby of one of the world's smallest deer. This adorable fellow here is a Southern Pudu recently born at Nordens Ark in Sweden. Even when he's full grown, he'll still only weigh around 25 pounds.
Sometimes it doesn't matter whether the chicken or the egg came first. Sometimes it only matters which one we love the most. In this video, the chicken is certainly the most important choice.

Yeah, I definitely should have gone with Dragonhunter and Hellbender for my daughters.
Compressed Flapwort? That's so terrible that I can see it becoming popular. Bird and Moon may have done more harm than good by publishing this comic.
Having a pet is a big responsibility, which is why it is usually a good idea to make your kids prove they are ready for that kind of commitment. Here, Shorty and Kodi prove that they are prepared to take on the challenge by taking their new toy kitten for a walk. I can't wait to see what responsible pet owners they will become later on.

Who's been ringing a 75-year-old woman's doorbell in the middle of the night? Here's the strangest story of ding dong ditch you'll read today:
An elderly woman in Germany who heard her doorbell rung repeatedly late at night naturally called the cops. Although it seemed like the work of a prankster, officers uncovered a much smaller culprit: ants.
Police in Offenburg responded when the 75-year-old woman made a desperate call at 3 a.m. on Wednesday, the German news magazine Focus reported. But when they arrived, officers didn’t find anyone at the door. On closer inspection they found that ants had built such a large nest that it was pressing the doorbell components together to make it ring.

When Crafty Lil' Thing's daughter wanted to participate in the costume contest at her school's sock hop, she insisted on wearing a poodle skirt inspired by Doctor Who. Originally, she asked her mother to make one with a Dalek, but then she realized there was nothing more suitable for a poodle skirt than K-9.
