Toddler Drops Big Sister Off at Camp, Mom Captures Hysterical Response
Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content.
Dropping off a child at summer camp usually means a quieter car ride home.
But not for one mother, who witnessed her toddler's personality transform when her older sister was finally out of the car. Mom, Shiloh, 31, captured the moment her daughter Reagan started happy-dancing with middle-child joy in a TikTok video. She spoke to Newsweek about how the clip reflects Reagan's rambunctious personality.
"When you drop your big sister off at camp for the day and realize it's finally your time to shine," she captioned the video of Reagan, coming alive and dancing to "Fergalicious" by Fergie. "Been waiting for this moment her entire life."

Shiloh explained the unique circumstances that led to the adorable moment.
Reagan is their middle child at nearly two years old, with an older sister, Scarlett, three, and a baby sister, August, six months.
"Reagan is our stereotypical middle child and she is constant entertainment for everyone around her," Shiloh said. "She keeps us on our toes and has since the moment she entered this world."
Born with her cord wrapped around her neck and not breathing for a few moments, Shiloh said they "should have known from that moment that she was born to keep life interesting." Reagan is a delightful "handful," she added.
The video itself took place right in the camp parking lot after dropping Scarlett off. Shiloh had to nurse baby August, so Reagan wasn't yet in her car seat.
"Reags loves to get in my car and explore, so I let her have her freedom for a few minutes while the baby ate," Shiloh said. She began filming simply because "she was already dancing and of course just making me laugh, naturally."
Shiloh understood the underlying significance of this solo moment for Reagan.
"She hardly ever gets to do anything on her own without Scarlett either joining in and leading or showing her the 'right way' to do it," she said. "So, she was finally, without even realizing it, getting a moment to be completely herself, by herself."
'Constant Entertainment'
Reagan's unbridled expression didn't surprise her mother at all.
"As I mentioned, Reagan is constant entertainment. Anywhere we go, she makes people laugh effortlessly," Shiloh said. "She doesn't even have to do anything and she's funny. The way she walks, talks, runs, laughs, plays, dances...so, this wasn't really anything new to me."
Rather, the humor came from the immediate timing: "It was just really funny to see her doing this immediately after dropping her sister off. We didn't even make it out of the parking lot."
This isn't Reagan's first brush with online fame; a few months prior, a video of Reagan getting on the ground in our driveway and drinking water from a rain puddle like a dog went viral. "These are things that go on all day long while I'm at home with her and her sisters," Shiloh explained.
Despite the momentary celebration of sibling-free time, the deep bond between the sisters remains. They are each spaced at 17 months apart, love each other immensely and have deep relationships. Shiloh, along with her sister Chelsea—who is 15 months apart from Shiloh—runs their social media page together due to their close relationship and shared experiences raising children.
"I can't imagine my life without [Chelsea], so being able to give the same gift to my girls is so, so special," she said, adding that while Reagan was excited for her moment to shine without Scarlett, "rest assured...for the rest of the day, Reagan was asking where 'Car Car' was."
What Did the Comments Say?
People on TikTok were taken by Reagan's sudden spunk.
"I wanna be her when I grow up," one person wrote, while another quipped: "Me leaving work on a Friday at 4:00 PM."
"It's her time to shine...and I can say she did NOT disappoint!" one comment read. You go, girl!"
One person even offered a sweet, full-circle idea: "You better play this at her wedding," they wrote. "Then play the song after to see if she's still got moves."

1 in 3 U.S. workers say they've had romances with their managers
The complexities and controversies of workplace romances are well known—they're the topic of countless sitcom jokes, and we bet you can certainly recall a salty saying or two about the often ill-advised practice. And, of course, the whole topic just splashed across the headlines when two senior executives from the startup Astronomer, both married to other people, were caught on a kiss cam at a Coldplay concert. But data from a recent survey shows that many workers, even though they're aware of the emotional and professional risks of workplace relationships, just can't seem to keep their hands off each other. Zety, a Polish online résumé company, surveyed over 1,000 U.S. workers as part of its 'Modern Workplace Romance Report,' Newsweek notes. The data on workplace romances is startling: 79% of respondents said they'd had long-term workplace romances. That's nearly eight in 10 people—take a glance around your office and see if the gossip you've heard lines up with this stat. More concerningly, since it raises numerous ethical issues, 32% of people said they'd dated a boss or superior. 86% of people in the survey also think the surge of hybrid and remote working driven by the pandemic has made it easier for work-based romances to happen — possibly because there's less risk of being seen by co-workers if you're simply not in the office. And 94% of respondents also said emojis and GIF files were a boon for workplace flirting, while 79% said they'd bungled sending flirty contacts by sending them to the wrong person. Perhaps the most obvious statistic in the Zety survey is nonetheless interesting simply because of the giant figure involved: 91% of U.S. workers said they'd used flirting or charm to boost their position at work. That's over nine in 10 people, most likely including folks in your office. Newsweek also quotes data from a different survey, from anonymous workplace chat app Blind, that found that among over 8,000 American respondents, human resources staff were the group most likely to have had workplace romances. That's a curious piece of data, especially in context of a 2018 report that surveyed 150 HR executives, finding that one-third of office romances end with someone being fired. Zety's data doesn't necessarily imply that workplace romances are illicit affairs of the caught-on-Coldplay-kiss-cam kind, of course, and neither does Blind's data. But some of the statistics should worry leaders of almost any company. Conscious of the emotional disruption that workplace romances can cause, to say nothing of the legal complexities that may arise if a manager is accused of favoritism because they're romantically involved with a subordinate, many workplaces have strict policies on the issue. But, as the saying goes, 'love will find a way,' and Zety's data shows that despite employers commonly banning or restricting workplace relationships, people just keep having them. Newsweek notes that an earlier survey by Resume Genius found 72% of people who've had workplace romances don't inform management or HR about them — despite the Blind data on the romantic risks confessed by HR employees. Many experts have penned pieces advising on the thorny matter of office romances (many with a simple 'don't do it!' slant). But why should you care about this? The Coldplay concert drama again turned a spotlight onto the issue of work relationships, which means it might be a good time to refresh your company's policies, and maybe even reissue them to your staff so they're aware of whether relationships are permitted, or if they should notify managers of a relationship and so on. But you may also not want to overreact: Some other recent data shows that fewer people are having work romances now than in previous decades—possibly echoing other research that shows the traditional 'workplace bestie' is also a fading phenomenon. — By Kit Eaton

Trisha Paytas's Response To Baby Theories Goes Viral
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The YouTuber Trisha Paytas has responded after the social media was flooded with viral videos about the so-called Trisha Paytas baby theory. Paytas' video has already been viewed more than six million times. Newsweek has contacted Paytas for comment. What Is The Trisha Paytas Baby Theory? The original social media theory emerged in September 2022 when Queen Elizabeth II died at the age of 96. Trisha Paytas poses at The Entertainment Community Fund Opening Night of "Trisha Paytas' Big Broadway Dream" on Broadway at The St. James Theater on February 3, 2025, in New York City. Trisha Paytas poses at The Entertainment Community Fund Opening Night of "Trisha Paytas' Big Broadway Dream" on Broadway at The St. James Theater on February 3, 2025, in New York the time, social media users took note that in the hours that preceded the death of the longest-reigning monarch in British history, Paytas—a nonbinary YouTube sensation—had announced that they had gone into labor with their first child. Then, social media users decided that Paytas' child was the reincarnation of the monarch. This theory has only continued gaining traction over the years. When Paytas announced their third pregnancy, it coincided with the announcement that Pope Francis had died, sparking theories that their child would be the reincarnation of the pope. Paytas, addressing the theory on her podcast at the time, said, "I just don't get it." Then, the theory entered a new era when Paytas announced that their third child had been born. Paytas announced the birth of their son, Aquaman Moses, on July 12, 2025. The announcement coincided with news of the death of heavy metal legend and Black Sabbath frontman Ozzy Osbourne, leading social media users to believe that Paytas' new baby is the reincarnation of Osbourne. What To Know On July 28, Paytas shared a video on TikTok addressing the rumors. The video has the text overlay "What plays in my head 12 days postpartum and the internet won't stop with the reincarnation conspiracies," and is set to the song "Crazy Train," Osbourne's debut solo single, which was released in 1987. The TikTok is captioned, "my baby is just a baby y'all," and as of press time, has been liked over a million times. Paytas shares their children with Moses Hacmon. The two welcomed a daughter named Malibu Barbie, who was born in 2022. They later welcomed their second child, a daughter named Elvis, on May 24, 2024. Their third child, Aquaman Moses, was born on July 12, 2025. Paytas announced his birth in an Instagram post on July 22. What People Are Saying Indigo Stafford, the entertainment journalist who runs the pop culture news page IndigoReports, previously told Newsweek: " I think the internet is so obsessed with this theory because of how invested we are in Trisha Paytas as fans. She has become an internet sensation and almost a head of state for the chronically online (people who consume a lot of social media). She is known for being her real, raw, and authentic self online. And people love her unfiltered sense of dark humour. And that's ultimately what the Trisha Paytas baby conspiracy is! It's a bit of online dark humour that's possibly gone too far, but that brings us some light relief in uncertain times – just like Trisha does." What's Next Paytas recently shared on her podcast, Just Trish, that she will not be having more children.
