“Only in New York” is such an overused sentiment. Even as a New Yorker who often feels as though I've seen it all, something about it can feel a bit off, or self-congratulatory. But then I remember “What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas,” and am glad that my fellow city-dwellers simply love to share stories that are often an amalgam of

The birds and the bees.

It feels like just yesterday we were learning of the group of millennials dubbed “geriatric millennials.”

Holy entitlement, Batman.

Props to these amateur con artists

Kids are built different. Not just in terms of size. Their brains are uninhibited in a way that makes for increased creativity, sweetness, and, of course, humor. While their unintentionally funny moments are our favorites, sometimes, when prompted, they can really bring the gold. Twitter user George Pointon , who admits in his bio that he exploits children for likes, asked a group of six-year-olds to pitch him some new film ideas.

Sometimes worrying all the time pays off in the end

There's something about the utterances of the unconscious that is far more fascinating than the details of whatever a person is actually dreaming a…

Getting in trouble is usually a normal part of growing up. Sometimes kids get in trouble for mouthing off in school. Calling a teacher fat, pulling a prank in class, or simply distracting everyone else until whoever's in charge absolutely loses it. Sometimes, kids get in trouble for their actions at home.
