Video: Toddler's Thoughts on Friendship Is What We Need To Hear Today
Kids often say the darnedest things; their unsolicited advice sometimes cracks everyone up, and we love them for that. Even Instagram mom Katy Robin experienced something similar with her daughter Emi. Her toddler's wise words left her emotional rather than surprised. In their Instagram video, the mom wells up upon hearing the toddler's 'thoughts on friendship.' Hear their heart-touching conversation in the clip to understand the true meaning of friendship from a child's perspective. It was a tear-jerking moment for Katy Robin (@katyrobinbird) when she heard Emi's 'thoughts on friendship' while 'biking home from preschool.' Their heartfelt conversation was a 'reminder' of what real friends are like. The toddler's friendship video starts with 3-year-old Emi politely expressing her desire to have a 'playdate with Frankie because she's so funny.' The mom appreciates her wish, saying, 'Good friends bring out the best in us,' and the toddler could not agree more. Emi goes on to explain that when she is 'super scared,' she runs over to Frankie. And what do you think Frankie does? Calm down Emi? No. She does something even better. Frankie laughs when Emi is crying. As a result, Emi laughs and they get 'better and better and better and better.' That is why Frankie is her best friend in the 'entire world.' For Emi, Frankie is 'the special-est.' This light-hearted conversation leaves the mom happy yet emotional. Emi's wise words in the toddler's friendship video struck a chord even with the netizens. Many commented on the post, with one person saying, 'This child has the wisdom of a gentle old soul. I love her and everything about her!' While another added, 'She has seriously amazing awareness and communication for a three-year-old! Wow! And obviously she is also a total love. Thanks for sharing.' Some users even admired Emi for being good at 'expressing' herself and 'articulating her feelings.' The adorable video has more than 346K likes on Instagram, thanks to Emi's words of wisdom.

World's tallest and smallest dogs meet up for a playdate A playdate between the world's tallest and smallest living dogs went the way of most dog park encounters despite the 3-foot (0.91-meter) height difference — lots of tail wagging, sniffing and scampering. Reginald, a 7-year-old Great Dane from Idaho, and Pearl, a chihuahua from Florida, are both certified winners in their respective height titles by Guinness World Records. The fact that Reginald is the size of a small horse and Pearl is as small as an apple didn't stop them from getting along famously. Pearl, a 4-year-old who stands at 3.59 inches (9.14 centimeters), comes from a long line of short dogs. Her aunt Millie, a previous record-holder in the same category, until she died in 2020, also was under 4 inches (10.16 centimeters) tall. Pearl, the world's shortest living dog, is a 4-year-old chihuahua that stands at 3.59 inches (9.14 centimeters). (Guinness World Records) Both Millie and Pearl weighed 1 ounce (28.35 grams) at birth. 'I was not expecting to once again have the record,' said Vanesa Semler of Orlando, Florida, owner of both tiny dogs. 'That would be like unbelievable.' Guinness arranged the two-day meet up between Pearl and Reginald — who also goes by Reggie and measures in at a whopping 3-foot-3 (1 meter) — last month at his home in Idaho Falls. Even though Pearl loves dogs, even big dogs, Semler said she was anxious because of Reginald's size. 'For me, (it) was a huge, pleasant surprise from day one because Reggie is like Pearl, in bigger size,' she said. 'He is so gentle, so friendly.' Reggie, for his part, might have been more interested in the Guinness film crew that accompanied Pearl than the tiny dog herself. 'I would say he likes people a little bit more than he likes other dogs,' said Sam Johnson Reiss, his owner. The fact that Reginald is the size of a small horse and Pearl is as small as an apple didn't stop them from getting along famously. (Guinness World Records) Pearl's tiny size was also strange for the big boy. 'He was like very cautious, like a little anxious,' Reiss said. 'He was very careful, like he didn't step on her or anything or anything crazy. He was just very aware that she was there.' Reggie's super size was evident early on, especially on a dog park visit when he towered over other Great Danes despite being only 9 months old. 'They would be shorter than him, and they were like full-grown,' Reiss said. There might have been a little jealousy shown over toys and beds, but Reggie and Pearl found common ground during their two days roaming the Idaho farm together. 'I think she found a good friend,' Semler said. Pearl, the world's shortest living dog, standing under Reginald, the world's tallest living dog, during a play date on April 5, 2025. (Guinness World Records) Semler said Pearl is her prima donna, with the chihuahua even picking out the clothes she wants to wear every day by placing her paw on the outfits laid out before her. That comes in handy when news crews are lining up for interviews. 'For us, she was always our diva,' Semler said. 'Now she's a diva for everyone.' Pearl doesn't have the top diva title quite yet, with Reiss saying Reggie — who has a new Instagram account — has his own diva moments. 'He's pretty high maintenance,' Reiss said. 'Reggie's just cheeky, like he's kind of mischievous and silly and definitely tells you when he wants something.'
