We're still wondering what love really is, right?

It's a whole spectrum on things, yes, but the lads over at Jimmy Kimmell Live decided to grill some children on the street and ask them what they think love means.

Some give epic answers that we couldn't have even thought of ourselves and others… Well, let's say others are totally steering clear from all that mumbo jumbo.

Whether you're in love or out of it, these kids are sure to give you a lot of insight.

If you think you're smarter than an eight-year-old, then it may be time to think again. 

This National Geographic brain teaser is going viral because kids are way more likely to solve it than adults.

The puzzle shows a totally symmetrical bus and asks you to determine in which direction it's going. 

Sooo… Can you figure it out?

If you're stumped just remember KIDS can crack it!

Still stumped (us too)? Here's a video explaining the answer:

When you sit down and think about it, you'll probably find you spend far more time sitting in front of a screen than you actually realise.

That 30-minute commute spent flicking through Twitter on your phone, followed by a full day's work in front of the computer… it all adds up. Yet even after eight hours staring at a screen, most of us want nothing more than to flop on the couch after work and zone out in front of Celebrity Big Brother.

Ireland's screentime is well above the recommended amount, with new research by Core Media and Ignite Research showing that even children are watching on average four hours of TV and online video every day. That's DOUBLE the maximum recommended limit. 

So next time you're planning a relaxing night with your other half, why not switch off the telly and try something different? Here are a few of our favourite date ideas that DON'T involve your couch and remote control…

1. Check out some comedy
The International Bar on Wicklow Street was the kick-off point from some of Dublin's best comedy acts, from Des Bishop to Fred Cooke. There are shows every Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday night with tickets available for a €10 on the door on the night. Head along and who knows, you could see a big name – or the next big thing.

 

2. Experience the best music in a mystery venue
Sitting rooms, rooftops, attics and clothes shops are just some of the spots that have played host to Sofar Sounds, a music collective offering "amazing music in intimate venues." Their next date is February 24, so sign up and head along to check out a few amazing acts in a mystery venue somewhere in Dublin.

 

3. Get fit together
Whether it's joining a local running club or getting out for a walk together, there's no nicer way to spend an evening than all wrapped up out in the fresh air. Plus, exercise = endorphins, which are known to strengthen the bond between couples. Win.

 

4. Become pet owners – just for the day
If you two would LOVE a dog but can barely fit a goldfish in your apartment, why not check out a dog-borrowing service like Borrow My Doggy? You'll get to take care of someone else's adorable pooch for a few hours, walk them, play endless games of 'fetch' and drop them back to their owner.

 

5. Cook a meal together
Rather than banging out a chicken stir-fry in ten minutes flat, pick a recipe for something you both love, stock up on ingredients and prepare it together. If you know you're likely to want to kill each other after five minutes (we've been there), then put one person on cocktail-making duty and the other on food.

 

6. Dance like no-one's watching (literally)
You know the absolute buzz you get from dancing up a storm in your sitting room to some random Spice Girls song? Well, the folks at Soda Bread Box are all about that. You can head along to their dance nights every Monday, pay a fiver on the door and dance for an hour in TOTAL darkness to some seriously epic tunes. Their rules? "No lights, no alcohol, dance your socks off."

Let's be real, we all hated coffee when we first tried it. It's bitter and sour and not at all nice. 

But then, as most adults, we ended up needing it and drinking it nearly every day of our lives. 

But here, Buzzfeed asked a few kids to try a lovely cup of coffee, and let's just say… Well, let's just say they flat-out hated it. Except for one rather mature kid. 

Watching this video will give you all the LOLs you need today:

Kids have a love/hate relationship with Santa, and when you were a baby, visiting Santa was either a joy or a total nightmare.

But in this video by Cut Video, the children are absolutely TERRIFIED of him. 

We know watching kids cry isn't funny, but when the big guy doesn't know how to handle them, it's comedy gold.

How are we supposed to function in life knowing that there are kids a quarter of our age that dress ten times better than us? 

Though it does help that these kids have famous parents to fund and style their fashion furore, we are struggling to come to terms with this miserable truth. 

When North West stepped out this week in a sleeveless roll neck jumper, black ripped jeans, a pair of Converse and a cute purse slung expertly on her elbow, we almost had a bit of a wardrobe meltdown. 

After a minor nervous breakdown there was only one thing to do. Chart the famous little ones who are officially way better dressed than us, of course. 
 

1) Suri Cruise

Suri seems to have a pair of ballet pumps for all occasions and a serious amount of perfect girly dresses and skirts.

Oh and don't forget the coats to DIE for. 

2) The Beckham kids

There is simply no way of choosing the best dressed Beckham kid because they all look fabulous 100% of the time. We do have a soft spot for Romeo and his stellar trench coat collection though.

We also have a lot of time for poor aul Harper who has to contend with a serious amount of testosterone and still looks fabulous. 

3) Prince George 

Though not everyone might be a fan of George's royalty -appropriate attire, we think he pulls off preppy to perfection. 

And those cheeks! 
 

4) Blue Ivy Carter

When your mam happens to be Queen Bey, there is zero chance of you ever looking anything less than perfect.

We loves Blue's penchant for leather jackets over girly dresses. Pint-sized perfection. 
 

5) Landon and Alabama Barker 

With Blink 182's Travis Barket as their dad, these two came out of the womb looking like rock stars. Alabama, 9, was sporting pink hair before it was a thing and Landon is approximately 150% cooler than we will ever be. 

6) The Jolie- Pitt kids

We all know that the Jolie-Pitt kids can dress whatever way they like. Maybe that is why they always look awesome. 

We particularly enjoy Shiloh and Zahara who are both always killing it. 

7) Kingston, Apollo and Zuma Rossdale 

Gwne Stefani's sons have surfer dude style down to a T, and they even make casts look cool.
 

8) Mason Disick 

Last but not least, it's our fave little man and perhaps our favourite of the Kardashian offspring, Mason. 

How does he always look so dapper?

We've all been there… a couple of times. Whether it was in Primary or Secondary school, you more than likely came across a test question that made you think, "I can't even."

Whether the question was difficult or just plain stupid didn't really matter, you just had to try put your best response on the paper.

But these days, some kids answer these questions in probably the best way possible.

One parent in particular uploaded their child's test answers to Imgur and in less than 24 hours it has racked up more than 3m views – because basically, the kid totally shut the test down:

These other kids also have a badass attitude to answering questions: 

This teacher needs to be more careful wording her questions:

 

Just deal with it:

 

Because 'or' is totally an answer:

Lunchtime was always a chore back in primary school, but if our dad had out this much effort into making our ham-and-cheese sangers looking pretty, we wouldn't have minded eating them so much.

Father-of-three Beau Coffron runs a website called Lunchbox Dad on which he posts pictures of the amazing creations he makes each morning for his kids to bring to school. 

If you're interesting in making your own, Beau offers step-by-step guides for each creation – very sound indeed. 

Beau has gained some serious popularity for his posts and has even featured on television several times as well as a host of other websites. 

He takes inspiration from his kids' favourite TV shows and movies and the results are amazing. 

This Minion lunch is probably one of our favourites… what a great way to get kids eating fruit:

 

A lot of his creations are Disney inspired, including this deadly Frozen lunch…

 

Beau also includes his own interests too, like this Star Wars inspired grub:

 

And HOW CUTE is this Finding Nemo lunch box? We actually can't deal…

We'll definitely be trying out a few of these!

At this stage of life most of us have learnt how to politely deal with unwanted gifts. For example: "Oh Aunty Mags, thank you SO much for my shower radio, it's exactly what I wanted!"

But back when we were kids, we weren't quite so subtle. As a toddler you pretty much take the liberty of saying exactly what comes into your head, with no care for well-meaning relatives.

Not this little boy, though. Dad Jeff Simmons gave his toddler son the ultimate test of manners when he presented him with a gift-wrapped avocado as a 'surprise' birthday present.

The reaction? Flawless. See it here:

Jeff says he and his wife had been speaking with their son earlier in the day about the importance of reacting politely even if you get a present you don't like, and they wanted to see if their advice had worked. 

And to be fair, it looks like it definitely did. That's some stellar parenting right there.

Madonna has shared a picture of her daughter Lourdes on her Instagram, showing her daughter sporting a very new look.

The photo shows her 18-year-old posing in a selfie, donning a floral hat, blue hair and a nose ring. The singer captioned it, “You shine on me where ever you go.”

 

Cause you shine on me wherever you are…….,,,,,,,#rebelheart

A photo posted by Madonna (@madonna) on

It would appear that Lourdes is getting her jewellery style from her mum, who wore a very similar (or possibly the same) nose ring in a photo last week.

 

Radiant Sun! #rebelheart

Madonna frequently posts pictures of her four children on her Instagram page. And it seems like Lourdes isn’t the only of Madonna’s offspring to have undergone a serious transformation.

Her son Rocco has also grown his hair out and is sporting a very different look. The Like a Prayer singer also regularly posts pictures of her other adorable son and daughter, David and Mercy.

Is there anything more swoon-worthy than seeing a ridiculously good looking man playing with a puppy?

Nope, we really don’t think that there is.

Ben Affleck flew into Atlanta on Monday afternoon to visit his three children, Violet, Seraphina and Samuel. The kids are currently staying with Jennifer Garner while she films her new movie, Miracles in Heaven.

And what did he bring along with him? That’s right – a beautiful fluffy golden Labrador puppy! Nawwwww!

The gorgeous dog was adopted by the Affleck family in May. Ben and Jen reportedly took their daughters to a dog adoption just weeks before the couple announced their divorce in an official joint statement in June.

The statement read, “After much thought and careful consideration, we have made the difficult decision to divorce. We go forward with love and friendship for one another and a commitment to co-parenting our children whose privacy we ask to be respected during this difficult time.”

It is safe to say that Colin Farrell is one of the hottest actors, men, and definitely dads to come out of our fair Emerald Isle.

So, what better way to honour Father’s Day weekend than by hearing from the man himself.

The 39-year-old has two sons, James who is 12, and Henry who is 4-years-old. When asked what it means to be a father, Colin gave a seriously emotional response.

“It’s incredibly complicated, I find it, to be a father because I have no idea what I’m doing,” the new face of Dolce & Gabbana’s Intenso revealed in an interview with the brand.

“I haven’t read any books but I know that if I did they would just confound me even more,” he admitted.

“It can be a terrifying thing – but also there’s a great liberation in being a father… Because for the first time you are not the most important thing in your world. For the first time in your life you really have an understanding of what it is to love unconditionally. And it’s a pretty extraordinary gift.”

We just have dust in our eyes, we swear!

The True Detective star had his first child with American model Kim Bordenave in 2003. Mr Farrell fathered his second child, Henry, with actress Alicja Bachleda-Curus, but their relationship ended in 2010.
