1. "Let me hold your money for you so you won't lose it."
Yup, and you'll NEVER see it again. If your mom or dad has't done this to you, then ask yourself why you gave your mom the $100 birthday money and she comes home with a fresh blow out. To this day, I still don't know where that $100 went.
2. "We have food at home."
Girl no we don't. This is the biggest disappointment every black kid faced. Wheat bread with a hot dog is NOT McDonald's, that's "McStruggle." If you said no to the McStruggle, then "I guess that means you ain't hungry." I can't wait until I get older and ask my mom if she has "McDonald's money." However, the older I get, the more I understand the fact that I have food at home...you know, being broke and all.
3. It's "illegal" to have the light on in the car at night.
I still make sure the lights are off to this day. I haven't gotten pulled over yet so that's saying something. Maybe my mom was actually ri---never mind.
4. If you run in and out the house too much, the bill will go up.
In what way does this make sense? In a black home, you're either IN or you're OUT! Black parents will blame the AC, light bill, water bill or simply just "being on your damn phone too much."
5. If you tell the truth, you won't get in trouble...yeah okay.
When I'm honest, I still get in trouble and when I lie, forget it. At the end of the day, your mom doesn't want to hear it. She's too busy picking out her favorite slipper or belt to whoop you with. Even if you pretend to go to sleep, she will wake you up just to “talk.”
6. If you make a certain face for too long, your face will be stuck like that forever.
I used to be so scared of making an ugly face or it would magically get stuck forever. I've also been told that I have a permanent resting-bitch-face, so I'm assuming that this one is true.
7. If you eat watermelon seeds, a tree will grow in your stomach.
Too bad my science teacher never taught me about germination in the stomach. But as a kid, pooping was your best option to make sure you were in the clear.
8. If you lie, your nose will grow.
Now imagine how long your ex’s nose would be?
9. Babies came straight from God (I mean....LITERALLY dropped from the sky).
I mean sure, if you have faith in God, then yes this is partially true. But does God literally throw babies from the sky into your mom's lap? I hope not because that would hurt. Just stick to the "when two people love each other very much" lie.
10. "It's because you've been on that damn phone too much."
How does this correlate with anything? Did anyone find the answer? Oh yeah, because it makes the bills go up right?
11. Purposely eating all of your Halloween candy because they wanted to make sure that it was "safe."
See, you would think after the 26th piece of candy that the whole bag is safe but no. Notice how your mom is ONLY testing out the Snickers bars.
12. Santa is real (This one hurt too).
This one really hurt. Imagine waiting for Santa to arrive but then you remember your grandparents don't even have a chimney in their house. Not only that, it's painful to know that the cookies you made every year were eaten by your mom and dad at 4AM...This one hit hard.
13. Showering during a thunderstorm is dangerous
Black parents only say that so their water bill won't go up....NEXT.
14. You can't go swimming for 30 minutes after eating.
I always thought this was true. But then again, my mom said that you will sink to the bottom if you ate right before. I guess the reason for this lie is so you don't blow chunks in the pool and embarrass your mom...or maybe just to do chores in the house.
I think this is a lie that ALL parents tell.
15. If you peed in the pool, it turns into a special color that everyone can see.
This is a great a lie. Who wants to swim through a blob of someone else's urine? However, running to the bathroom to take off your wet bathing suit just to put it back on was frustrating.
16. "You can be whatever you want to be when you grow up."
Kid: "Okay, I'll be an artist!"
Mom: "Actually, no that's not what I meant. I meant choose between doctor, lawyer or engineer."
17. Having a nose ring turns you into a "rebel."
I'm pretty sure this is how my mom thinks I look when I put in my fake nose ring. (There's nothing wrong with this look though.)
18. "I'm 5 minutes away (from being 2 hours away)!"
Don't even bother. You're going to be sitting outside of your school until it's pitch black. (I will never forget when my mom told me that she was on the highway but I heard the metro north train sounds in the background...shame.)
Marvel Studios
If you are unaware of the plot, basically throughout the entire film, the Avengers are trying to reverse the damage Thanos has done and bring back everyone he made disappear with the snap of his fingers at the end of the last film.
This film was filled with so many highs and so many lows -- and many moments of comic relief which was highly appreciated! Because there was a multitude of moments that had everyone in all the feels, it always makes us feel better to realize that others were struggling during that roller coaster too! So here are some highlights from the film that made all the feels even more intense!

1. Your stomach decides this is the time to tell the world your hungry.
We've all been there. You wake up late for your 10 am. By the time you get to class, you realize you really should've at least grabbed an apple because now you're stuck in a quiet lecture with your stomach growling as loud as humanly possible. All you can do is keep acting natural and hope they blame it on the person next to you.
2. Getting to class late and being that person who asks the people around you for a pen and paper.
Also been there done that. I don't know if my school supplies get sucked into a black hole every time I'm late to class because somehow I just end up looking more like a mess. I swear I have my life together just not today.
3. Your phone rings during class (extra awk if you have a sick ringtone).
GiphyThe classic mistake, forgetting to turn off your ringer. My favorite is when they have the Kim Possible ringtone.
4. You're sick and cough every .2 seconds and feel like your distracting everyone.
We all get sick but it sucks when this is us in class and you can't do much about it.
5. When you’re done with a test early and are sitting in the middle of the row.
Can someone tell me why lecture halls have the smallest space between rows? When you're done with your test early and made the fatal mistake of sitting in the middle of the row - get ready for a very awkward experience of getting out.
6. When you look around class and just make awkward eye contact with someone.
7. Accidentally flinging your pen to the person in front of you
Just me? In one of my classes, I was swinging my pen like this and I don't know how but somehow it left my hand and hit the kid in front of me in the head. I awkwardly apologized and asked for my pen back.
1. "Is she even real?"
She does it all and effortlessly. Ariana Grande is an icon.
2. "Her vocal range is wild."
Her vocals sound exactly like they do on her albums...only better. Truly a talent!
3. "The stage production is incredible."
The visuals are very unique and well thought out. Spoiler alert: There is a giant moon that comes down from the top of the arena.
4. "How does she do this over and over again?"
A setlist of 27 songs? Yes, indeed. Ariana Grande pulls that off every time flawlessly.
5. "I don't want this concert to end."
This gif pictured above will be your reaction when the show ends after her encore.
6. "I need to dance right now."
Try to sit still during this tour. Consider that a dare.
7. "This performance deserves an award."
Can we give her an award every time she performs a song? She deserves it.
8. "I need to listen to her music even more than I already do."
That's right, folks. It's time to play every album until your phone dies and the streaming platform you use ends up crashing.
