Sibling relationships are complex, filled with laughter, rivalry, and lifelong bonds. But every once in a while, a moment between siblings perfectly encapsulates the sweetness of those relationships—and that’s exactly what happened in a now-viral video of a baby boy’s unwavering loyalty to his youngest sister. His adorable decision to pick her, no matter the circumstances, has left the internet in awe.
The video, shared on X (formerly Twitter), has amassed over 63 million views. It shows a toddler choosing between his three older sisters, who sit in various configurations to test his loyalty. No matter how the sisters are arranged, or even if his youngest sister is taken out of the lineup, the baby’s choice is clear: her or no one.

And that’s exactly what recently happened on The Wheel when a contestant named Traci Demus-Gamble made a winning puzzle solve so out-of-nowhere that it made host Ryan Seacrest jokingly check her for a hidden earpiece.
In a clip posted to the show’s YouTube account Friday, Jan. 17, Demus-Gamble waved to her husband who was standing on the sidelines before going up to the stage for her next challenge: guess a four-word “phrase.”
The story of Riyadh and Spike starts like the opening to a children's book: "One day, a man walking through the city spotted a lone egg where an egg should not have been…" And between that beginning and the story's mostly sweet ending is a beautiful journey of curiosity, care, and connection that has captivated people all over the world.
Irish author Riyadh Khalaf was out walking in London when he came upon an egg. "We just found what we think is a duck egg," Riyadh says in a video showing the milky white egg sitting in a pile of dirt. "Just sitting here on its own. No nest. No other eggs."
For her first year of life, Callie McKinney of County Down, Northern Ireland was a healthy, happy baby. Then she had a heart attack out of nowhere.
Doctors at the hospital told her parents that she suffered extensive brain damage and gave Callie about 24 to 48 hours left to live. After over six months of treatment, she’s finally back home and seemingly living the normal toddler life.
