The age old question of could men handle carrying a baby or handling childbirth. Most of us believe they can’t. This wife wanted her hubby to feel what it was like to carry twins for just a moment. I think it’s funny but also informative to show what it feels like and to see how hard it is to do normal things. And it’s fun to laugh at.
Paul Simon pays tribute to 9/11 by performing "The Sound Of Silence".
A native New Yorker, you can see the deep emotion in Paul's face as he sings.
Heartbreaking.
In the aftermath of 9/11, Steve Buscemi returned to his old fire station, where he had served as a firefighter in the early 1980s.
Donning his old uniform, he worked 12 hour shifts for days on end, searching for survivors in the rubble of the World Trade Center.
He did so without media attention, a quiet act of courage that later became a powerful symbol of solidarity.
As we commemorate the 25th anniversary of 9/11 today, we hold our loved ones a little closer and know that we are always stronger together. Your friends on Sesame Street love you and we will never forget.

On September 11, 2001, dogs served in different ways across the World Trade Center disaster — searching rubble, detecting danger, and guiding people through smoke-filled stairwells to safety.
Apollo, an NYPD German Shepherd, searched the ruins of Ground Zero alongside rescue crews.
Bretagne, a young Golden Retriever with Texas Task Force 1, worked through dust, twisted steel, and devastation. Years later, she became widely remembered as the last known surviving 9/11 search-and-rescue dog.
Jake, a black Labrador who had once been abandoned and badly injured, grew up to become a certified search-and-rescue dog. After 9/11, he spent days working through the wreckage at Ground Zero.
Sirius, a Port Authority Police yellow Labrador trained to detect explosives, was inside the World Trade Center that morning. His handler, Officer David Lim, secured him before rushing to help others evacuate.
Lim survived.
Sirius did not.
He became known as the only police dog killed in the 9/11 attacks.
And then there were Roselle and Salty.
They weren’t searching the rubble.
They were guide dogs.
Roselle helped her blind handler, Michael Hingson, escape from the 78th floor of the North Tower.
Salty helped his blind handler, Omar Rivera, descend from the 71st floor.
Through darkness, noise, fear, crowded stairwells, and chaos, they kept moving.
Six dogs.
Six very different stories.
Search dogs. Police dogs. Guide dogs.
None of them knew the meaning of terrorism.
None understood why that morning had changed America forever.
They simply did what they had been trained to do — and stayed beside the people who depended on them.
More than two decades later, their names still deserve to be remembered.
Apollo. Bretagne. Jake. Sirius. Roselle. Salty.
They searched.
They guided.
They served.
Never forget September 11, 2001. 🇺🇸🐾

Never forget the four-legged heroes of 9/11. 🇺🇸
Over 300 search & rescue dogs worked Ground Zero and the Pentagon. They climbed twisted steel, breathed toxic dust, and searched until their paws were raw.
Apollo (NYPD German Shepherd) was first on the pile, 15 minutes after the South Tower fell.
Trakr (German Shepherd from Canada) found the last living survivor 27 hours later.
Sirius, a Port Authority yellow Lab, never made it out — the only working dog killed that day.
These dogs didn’t ask for medals. They just did the job.
Honor them. Remember them.
