There has been a lot of sad, tragic and upsetting threads recently, I thought I'd start a thread where we could post some nice stories, funny stories, daft stories just as light relief, perhaps raise a smile or two. Here's a story I read tonight on the BBC about a guy who spotted his Nan's polite google search www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-36538356BBC Using Google to search for things on the internet has become a common part of most people's daily lives.
But it seems the internet giant may just have found its politest searcher - 86-year-old May Ashworth.
The grandmother's request read: "Please translate these roman numerals mcmxcviii thank you."
Seems she thought there was a real person at Google looking after the searches. After going viral a person at Google sent a message for her via her Grandson

A funny story I read today: In 7th grade, my dad was the principal of my middle school. During our awards day at the end of the year he gave me a certificate for having the hottest mom and I had to walk up in front of everyone to get it. _________________________________________ I could see my husband doing this.

I was watching Chopped Junior on the food network yesterday. the theme was Father's Day. one of the junior chef's said that his step-father was more of father to him than his real dad. it was nice to see a step-parent get recognition like that. during the dessert round, the father's were allowed to help their kids and this step-dad was in complete awe of how talented his son was. he was so supportive and proud of him when he became Chopped Champion.
