3-month-old baby shocks mom and sister by repeating full sentences. It may have a name.

"He is a baby genius start showing him math problems."

Babies can't talk. This isn't something that needs to be studied and researched, it's a pretty common fact that humans have. The reasons babies cry is because they can't talk to tell us what they need, at least that's what the general understanding has been for centuries. But what if some babies could talk and we simply haven't been exposed to them because the world is so big?

Thanks to social media, the world has gotten a whole lot smaller when it comes to being able to take a peek into other people's lives. This means we get to be exposed to things that may otherwise gone unseen. Mekeia, a mom of two recently uploaded a video of her 3-month-old son talking. Not the cute baby babble that we like to call talking, but repeating actual short sentences.

Jennifer Garner's 'nerdy farm facts' about pumpkins is delightfully educational

The overalls 😍

Move over PSLs. The new mark of fall is Jennifer Garner sharing “nerdy farm facts” from her very own pumpkin patch.

In an adorable video posted to her Instagram, the “13 Going on 30” actress sported dungarees and a sun hat while holding a large yellow flower (spoiler alert: it’s a soon-to-be pumpkin) and educating us all on how pumpkins grow.

“This flower is both male and female. There’s a pistol inside and it needs the pollen,” she said. “Do you know who takes care of that? Bees! Thank you for the bees!”

Continuing her delightful and informative spiel, Garner tried to hold up the flower to show where the pollen from said bees might fall inside it. However, the wind kept the flower from exposing itself in such a way.

“Oh…she’s shy…” Garner quipped.

Help us celebrate and support incredible teachers with a DonorsChoose giveaway

Do you know a teacher who could use $1,000 in classroom supplies?

Know an awesome teacher who deserves a shoutout—and a chance to win $1,000 in classroom supplies for their students? 

This back-to-school season, we want to celebrate and support inspiring teachers, making sure they get the recognition they deserve and the resources they need for their classrooms. From educational posters and charts to hands-on activities to organizational tools, supplies and snacks, there’s a lot that goes into creating an ideal learning environment. And unfortunately, limited school budgets don’t cover it all. Teachers don’t exactly make bank, but they willingly sacrifice hundreds—sometimes thousands—of their hard-earned dollars to create ideal learning environments for their students. 

That’s why Upworthy has teamed up with education nonprofit DonorsChoose to gather the stories of amazing public school teachers and give 5 incredible educators a $1,000 DonorsChoose gift card to spend on their classrooms. If you know a teacher the world should know about, click this link and tell us about them. Let’s shine a spotlight on these educational heroes and lift some of the financial burden off their shoulders. 

People are discussing when it's okay and not okay to use someone else's baby name

A wild story prompted a fascinating debate about baby naming etiquette.

Naming a baby is one of the first major decisions parents have to make, and it's a biggie. A name can be beautiful, interesting or meaningful. A name can be popular, uncommon or one-of-a-kind.

There are many questions to consider when choosing a baby name, but one question in particular is provoking a range of opinions: When is it okay or not okay to choose a baby name someone you know has already chosen?

A woman's wild tale of a friend's wife calling her rude for saying she might name a kid the same name they chose for their baby has people debating the "rules" of copying other people's name choices.
