All-girl sleepover parties include tickle fights and ice cream sundae eating, but until we saw this video, we really had no clue how extreme things can get when it comes time to share secrets.

In honor of Real Madrid’s 109th anniversary, the Spanish football team faced off against 109 Guangzhou children. Real still won, but only by a score of 2-1. Not too shabby, kids. (Thanks Wong!)

And we thought we had mad dance moves. These kids bust out their best OutKast on their Wii. And while Justin and Jeremy are twins, the boy on the left seems to have a better grasp on the lyrics.

The Fine Brothers raise the calorie count for the kids, showing them a bunch of clips from Epic Meal Time. Clearly there’s a divide between boys and girls, at least until they ask them what they’d cook.

We’re enjoying the looks of these fun little bricks from Tara Ketchum, hand-cast to resemble standard 2″x4″ LEGO building blocks. They’d make great gifts for architects, builders, or any LEGO fan.

Just because you’re a little kid doesn’t mean you can’t dream of the day you’ll be tearing down the road in a convertible Mustang, with a girl on your arm, drifting around cones. Actually, why wait?

Despite the seemingly ominous screen cap and title, this just might be the most adorable video you’ll see, er, hear all year, with fear, innocence, love and relief in spades. I’m coming Milesy!

My First Dictionary: Corrupting Young Minds One Word at a Time is a book (based on the blog) by Ross Horsley that combines vintage children’s book illustrations with wickedly twisted word definitions.

Little Losiah is totally stoked for his very first rollercoaster ride. Then the ride kicks in. Maybe next time they should go with the tea cups or the merry-go-round. It’ll get better someday, Losiah.

Go the F**k To Sleep is a subversive (and really not to be read aloud) bedtime book for parents who know that snoozing kitties and cutesy rhymes don’t always send a child sailing off to dreamland.

A young girl named Sadie delivers an inspiring message with the honesty, verve and innocence that you can only find in children. We hope she’ll stick to her words even when she’s older.

Because we love it when kids tell it like it is: check out the amusing, intelligent and articulate reactions these guys have to Rebecca Black’s putrid homage to the last day of the school (and work) week.
