Just in case you haven’t turned on a TV, listened to a radio, or seen any ads on your computer, don’t forget to go buy gifts. It’s Shopping Reminder Day! Remember, making gifts for people is awesome, so maybe you only need glue. It’s also Play Day With Dad. Will you let him win?

Today is Blasé Day. The French word for jaded, being blasé about something means you’re unimpressed. Some dessert is just “meh”. A parfait is impressive, especially since it’s Parfait Day! That’s also a French word, meaning perfect. The dessert has layers of cream, fruit, nuts, yogurt, or anything else to make it perfectly delicious!

New research is showing great news for whales in the South Atlantic Ocean. At one point, the population of humpback whales in the area had dropped to only 450. Since whale-hunting was banned in the 19 80’s, the population has grown to around 25,000. That’s proof that with enough help and protection, endangered species can recover.

The Goddard Police Department in Kansas, apprehended an unlikely trio of friends. A camel, a cow, and a donkey were wandering down the road together! Police joked that they were halfway to a Nativity scene. Maybe 3 Wise Men will show up next! The animals were safely returned to the nearby Tanganyika Wildlife Park.

The next time you have a cough, try chocolate instead of cough medicine. Chocolate leaves a sticky coating in your throat, that protects the nerve endings that cause you to cough. The professors at Hogwarts recommended chocolate to Harry Potter, but it might make you feel better in real life also!

Have you seen pictures of the new Tesla Cybertruck? The electric vehicle is shaped like a trapezoid, and definitely unlike anything else on the road. Many people hate it, but others love the futuristic design. In a demonstration of its unbreakable windows, the windows broke. Oops! 146,000 people pre-ordered the stainless steel Cybertruck anyway!

Today is Celebrate Your Unique Talent Day. Have a talent show with your family and friends. No matter what your talent is, whether it’s playing an instrument or sport or video game, having loud burps or smelly farts, or making really tall piles of whipped cream from a can, be proud of your abilities!

A driver in Florida made a big mistake, when they left their car running with their dog locked inside. The dog put the car in reverse, and backed around in circles for an hour! Luckily, he only knocked over one mailbox and some garbage cans. Maybe he was chasing his tail!

A man in Cameroon has been recycling plastic bottles into boats. Ismaël Essome Ebone started Madiba & Nature, a charity that makes EcoBoats for ecotourism and needy fishermen. Instead of plastic bottles floating in the ocean and rivers as trash, they are connected together to create something good. People can also band together for good!

Police departments occasionally let people pay their parking tickets, by making donations to help the community. There have been requests for pet food, school supplies, and toys. The Bay Village Police Department in Ohio, is asking for food donations instead of parking fines. They’ll accept donations, even if you didn’t get a ticket!
