Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.We all remember that time as a child when you’ve received a dodgy birthday present, with the situation usually descending into tears and a tantrum, But, this 3-year-old boy shows us how you should react.
Watch the moment when a young boy receives an avocado as a birthday present below.
His uncle Jeff Simmons posted the video on Vine and it has been looped more than 45 million times. Simmons and his sister Victoria, who is the youngster’s mother, wanted to teach him how to react politely when receiving presents.
As part of the challenge, they also gave him an oven mitt and coffee cup to open. 3-year-old Henry passed with flying colours and at his real birthday party was duly rewarded with a toy monster truck.
Bravo young man, bravo!
