Tiffany and Patrick leased a car for their son when he turned 18 years ago, but Patrick feels strongly that they should not do the same for their daughter. Patrick says that she doesn’t apply herself academically like her brother did, she has had several fender benders, and overall isn’t as responsible as her brother was at that age. Tiffany disagrees, what you do for one child, you must do for both. She thinks that Patrick needs to understand that all children aren’t the same, but they have to offer both the same perks. What do you think? (31:23)

TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: 10-year-old girl write first music composition, goes viral thanks to Mom
It’s fairly common to see kids who are super talented at playing instruments, but you don’t always see a kid writing their own music compositions.
That’s what 10 year old Olive Wallace from Pennsylvania did recently. Olive plays the violin, but also just wrote her first music sheet music as an original composition. Her Mom was so proud of her that she posted the sheets to see if any musicians would give it a try and tell them how it is.
And boy did they. It started to go viral on TikTok with musicians from all over the world giving their take on performing it. Even Seattle Pacific University performed with their full string orchestra!
Here is the Mom and daughter reacted to it:

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: Do roosters hear themselves when they crow?
If you’ve ever heard a rooster crow early in the morning (shout out to all my farmers out there!) you know how loud it can be. People have actually measured the sound and it’s hit as high as 140 decibels which can be extremely damaging to the ears and hearing.
If it can do that to our ears, what about the roosters themselves?!
Well, one of the things researchers discovered was that when the bird opens their jaw to crow, their outer ear canals actually close up on their own, giving them sort of a natural earplug.
Nature, right? Crazy!

Raven’s Pet Pals – Met Freya!
Meet Freya! She is a 5-month-old Labrador retriever mix, and she is available for adoption at the Westport location of the Connecticut Humane Society. Here are some notes on the type of home she is looking for!
~I can live in a single-family home, condos and apartments considered.
~I have not had much experience with children but am willing to consider sharing my home with kids who can be gentle and respectful of pets.
~I would like to live with a dog, but I have not had much experience with cats. I may be willing to share my home with a feline.
~I am a high energy kind of dog and am looking for a home where I can get lots of exercise every day.
~I may be medium sized now, but I have the potential to grow to upwards of 100 pounds once I reach adulthood.
You can learn more about Freya and all the amazing work the Connecticut Humae Society does right here! Home – Connecticut Humane Society (cthumane.org)

Tyler and Aubrey are getting married but have lived together for years. They don’t need new plates or kitchen appliances, so Tyler would like to register for their honeymoon. Aubrey says that her family is old school, no one will do that and then they’ll just receive random gifts for their home that they don’t want. It’s better just to register for household items and deal with returns and get store credit for a later time. What do you think? (38:07)
