One of the quickest ways to get out of a rut is to dance, and for Instagrammer Kash Jones (@imkashjones), it's how he's finding his way back to 'joy." The 29-year-old from London has been documenting his journey to do "10 fun things before 30," and reclaim a sense of joy he's felt he's lost over time.

His latest adventure took him and his mom, Sharon, to try an Irish stepdance class together--just in time for St. Patrick's Day. "10 Fun things before 30! - Let’s get it 🔥 Irish dancing with Mumzzieeee 🕺🖤 @londonacademyirishdance," he captioned the post.

"You're probably thinking, 'Why have I taken my mum to an Irish dance class?' As you can see, I'm excited! I'm back on my hunt for some joy," he says in the video as he rounds his mom up to go to class. They get in the car together, and hit the dance studio. "There's the teacher, Erin, honestly such beautiful energy," Kash says in a voice over as the video shows the two learning the Irish dance steps. "I feel quite nervous," he adds.

After the class, Sharon tells Kash, "You know what? I so enjoyed that. It was brilliant!" Once they get home, they show off their new moves to Kash's dad.

And the experience got a resounding response from viewers. "Well Done Kash and Sharon! You were both amazing and learnt so quickly. Hope you had a great time and have a chance to showcase your new skills on St.Patrick's Day ☘️❤️☘️❤️☘️," the studio where they took the lesson commented.

Another viewer added, "On behalf of all Irish people - fair play to you both. It’s lovely to see you enjoying something together and making it look quite cool💚."

Another shared, "Well done!!! Just goes to show, Irish Dance is accessible to anyone who has the guts to try! 💚"

Kash began his 'joy' journey back in January 2025, when he first decided to attend dance classes with his mom. Their first class was Bhangra (traditional Indian style dance) lesson. "10 fun things before 30—here we go!🔥 Bhangra with Mumzzziee 💃🏾🕺🏾
🖤💃🏽 @londonacademyofbhangra," he captioned the video.

Before the lesson, he explains that his goal is to find that joy that will "make him a better person in his 30s." His objective: to try 10 random things in life and see if he can find a little bit more joy. They crushed the class, and did a show-and-tell once they got home for his dad.

"Much love and respect to you and mum, embracing our culture and performing arts - this is what life is all about ❤️❤️❤️," the studio commented on the video following their visit. Another viewer wrote, "I cannot tell you how much joy this video has brought me. I’ve watched it BARE times! 😂🖤"

After Bhangra, they attended a Turkish Cypriot dance class together, where they both practiced finding their joy. "10 fun things before 30 – let’s go! 🔥 Turkish Cypriot folk dance with Mumzzieee 🖤🕺 @lta_uk," he captioned the video. In the class, they practiced dancing with water glasses on their heads, showing off their impressive balance and rhythm. "Take it in, please! That's two cups of water on my head balancing," Kash says, before introducing the teacher Ahmet, who he notes is an "absolute legend."

And when they got home, they of course showed off for Pops. The studio commented after, "We all had so much fun teaching you both! You're both amazing dancers!"

The 20 most common parenting delusions, and how fast they fell apart

If there is one guarantee about parenting, it's that there are *no guarantees* when it comes to parenting. Sure, most first-time parents fantasize about what it will be like to finally be parents. But the reality is often far from expectation–in good and bad ways–which is where humor and humility come in about parenting delusions.

Being a parent is the best job and the hardest job in the world--and these parents know that it can throw a curve ball in any and all of life's plans. Here are 20 of the funniest and most endearing responses to the question, "What was your parenting delusion you had before having kids?"

Forget yelling—this dad’s downstairs hack is pure comedy

As every parent knows, getting your child to do the thing you want them to do can be an impossible, Sisyphean task. How can I get my child to say ‘please’ and ‘thank you’—and not just utter the words, but actually mean them? What could possibly entice them to help out more around the house? Is going to bed at a reasonable hour something kids actually do, or only an urban legend?

In a Reddit form on r/Parenting, @sabinesse1054 asked a question about the difference between productivity and pleasure.

This baby picked his favorite sister over and over—and made two powerful enemies in the process

Sibling relationships are complex, filled with laughter, rivalry, and lifelong bonds. But every once in a while, a moment between siblings perfectly encapsulates the sweetness of those relationships—and that’s exactly what happened in a now-viral video of a baby boy’s unwavering loyalty to his youngest sister. His adorable decision to pick her, no matter the circumstances, has left the internet in awe.

The video, shared on X (formerly Twitter), has amassed over 63 million views. It shows a toddler choosing between his three older sisters, who sit in various configurations to test his loyalty. No matter how the sisters are arranged, or even if his youngest sister is taken out of the lineup, the baby’s choice is clear: her or no one.

"Her or no one. Loyalty 💕"

@Original_Shegypt

The eldest sisters’ reactions range from playful disappointment to full-on heartbreak. One sister, her face twisted in faux betrayal, hilariously sums up the mood: “Bruh‽” Another viewer commented, “That baby has made two very powerful enemies,” poking fun at the lighthearted sibling rivalry.

Study finds child-free unmarried women are living the best lives

Obviously marriage and having kids can be a great and rewarding experience, but they each obviously come with their downsides. But according to one expert, unmarried and childless women are the happiest subgroup in the population.

Speaking to The Guardian, Paul Dolan, a professor of behavioral science at the London School of Economics, claimed the latest evidence he gathered suggested that traditional markers of success do not actually correlate to happiness, particularly when it comes to marriage and raising children.
