Turns Out You've Been Singing These Kids' Songs Wrong Your Whole Life

By Tanya
When you were in school, the teachers had a series of songs that they would get you sing as a group right? You would go through usually a very short and simple song over and over so everyone would learn it and it would just be a fun exercise in between lessons. What none of us realized was that we were only getting the first verses of the songs and there was actually a whole lot more to them! Whether it's London Bridge or Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, there are actually more verses to the song that everyone has just

Everyone's Favorite Childhood Toy Is Almost Unrecognizable Now

By Tanya
There are some toys that just last through generations and this is absolutely one of them. We had one, our parents had one, even some of our grandparents had one of these growing up. They helped us revisit our favorite stories and discover new ones. Each click of a button brought us a step closer to the worlds we loved and it's impossible forget them. Do you remember these? Of course you remember the View-Master, we all had one! These first came on the scene way back in 1939. It was made by a former pharmacist named Edwin Mayer who

You Know His Books, But Here Are 6 Things You Didn't Know About Shel Silverstein

By Tanya
There are some books that just last for generations, and are loved no matter when they are read. Shel Silverstein has created so many of these books. His ability to tell a sweet story in just a sweet poem or short book is practically unparalleled. He is still one of the best children's authors (at least in my opinion) but there is a lot more to him than that. Whether you were a fan of The Giving Tree, Falling Up, or any of the other books he released over the years, you may not have realized that his career didn't

It Seems Like Kids In Every Generation Had One Of These, Did You?

By Tanya
There are some toys that are passed through the generations as though they are a precious relic that should be treasured forever. The See N' Say is of course one of these toys. They first became popular in the 1960s and have just been remade year after year so kids will always know exactly what the cow says (spoiler, it's moo). They've changed a lot over the years, and each and every one will bring back a special memory to someone. We all had different versions, but they all were perfect. Take a look and see if yours is in

Grease Stars Reunite On Stage, And It Was Electrifying

By Tanya
There are some movies that will just live on forever, and Grease is most definitely in that category. The John Travolta and Olivia Newton John musical about teenagers in the 50s is just the quintessential high school movie and probably will never be topped.Its been nearly 40 years since Grease came out, but the cast is still pretty close. At the DVD release party back in 2002, Olivia Newton John was having performing when she decided to invite her good buddy John Travolta up on stage to sing with her. Clearly they still know all the words to their

Frank Sinatra's Story About One Of Don Rickles' Classic Pranks is A Great Way To Remember Him

By Zachary
The world lost a comedy legend this week with the passing of Don Rickles, one of the funniest (and meanest) voices ever to take the stage. Newspapers across the country have done their best to memorialize this larger-than-life entertainer, but we think that should be left to someone who knew him best: Frank Sinatra.The singer first met Rickles in 1957 and they stayed lifelong friends afterwards. Rickles was famously the only person allowed to joke about Sinatra's fragile ego, and as you can tell from this story he took his job seriously.Throughout their careers these two icons often
