It's an exciting time for Skipper and Ping, two male Emperor penguins who live at the Berlin zoo. They have been longing for an egg of their own and now, they finally have one. This is by no means the only gay penguin - or animal - couple in the world, but that doesn't make their story any less special. Here it is. 

Someone on AskReddit got a thread going about the various downsides of being an adult that teenagers don't realize. It's funny, when we're younger we can give ourselves over to this notion that when we grow up everything's going to be a whole lot better; but then you get there, and it's just a new world of unforeseen responsibilities. Suddenly, you find yourself craving the days of your youth when all you had to worry about was getting to bed at a reasonable time for school the next morning. If that. 

Some people say that motherhood/fatherhood are the greatest gifts of all time. Parents know that it's not so simple. Some of the joys include sleepless nights, a layer of crumbs on every surface, and the notion that maybe solitary confinement wouldn't be so bad after all. Of course, there are ups with the downs, but these memes are for the parents that reject sugarcoating parenthood and just want to laugh the pain away.
