It was supposed to be a normal morning. A woman was getting ready for work, grabbing her things, and preparing for another routine day. But her husband had other plans—plans she never saw coming.

In a now-viral video uploaded by @CanaDaddd, the unsuspecting wife was moments away from heading out the door when he stopped her with a casual but cryptic statement.

"You actually don’t have to go to work today. I’m not going to work either."

— @CanaDaddd

She froze, clearly confused. Was he joking? Had something happened? Before she could ask, he handed her a $20 bill with a grin.

"You’re definitely going to need this 'cause we’re on our way to the airport."

— @CanaDaddd

That’s when it hit her. This wasn’t a prank. Her husband had just turned an ordinary morning into an unforgettable adventure. Still in disbelief, she asked, "You’re not being serious." But he was—and the surprises weren’t over yet.

The trip of a lifetime

Smiling, he revealed the full extent of his plan: "We’re going to Europe." That’s right—he had planned an entire anniversary trip without her suspecting a thing. And he hadn’t just booked flights.

Her time off? Approved. Their pets? Looked after. All she had to do was pack.

"Why do you think I’ve been working boatloads of overtime?"

— @CanaDaddd

Overwhelmed, she covered her face, trying to hold back tears. The moment was pure magic, and the internet couldn’t get enough of it.

The internet reacts

The heartwarming surprise quickly went viral, amassing over 6.7 million views. People flooded the comments with admiration—and a little bit of envy.

"We need to get this off the internet before my wife sees this and gets expectations!"

Others pointed out how special this kind of effort is in a relationship.

"Two people who have kept the novelty of a relationship five years into their marriage. Good luck to you guys for decades more of a happy life together."

— @LankanIan

Not his first big surprise

Turns out, this isn’t the first time he’s pulled off an over-the-top anniversary surprise. For their first wedding anniversary, he did it again—this time with a trip to the Bahamas.

"We’re going to the Bahamas for our one-year anniversary."

— @CanaDaddd

In another video, his wife thought they were just going out for dinner, only to learn they were actually heading for a dream vacation. He had secretly booked her time off, packed her bags, and even arranged for her parents to meet them at the airport.

Setting the bar high

Grand gestures like these prove that romance doesn’t have to fade over time. Thoughtful surprises, big or small, keep relationships alive and thriving.

So, to all the partners out there wondering how to top this—good luck!

As you can imagine, it's not going very well. Teacher Andrea Lefebvre took to Facebook to share some of the hilarious texts she'd received from students about the babies, ranging from teenagers asking if they can stash their baby in their bag, or if they can turn it off.

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 💕"
