She took all 16 grandkids on individual trips. They just surprised her with her own.
Traveling with your loved ones can make for some of the most treasured memories – and Britney Lindgren's family knows this firsthand. For the past 24 years, Lindgren's grandmother has taken all 16 grandchildren on a dedicated one-on-one trip. This year, they returned the favor with a surprise trip to their Grandma Noreen's own dream destination. Since 2000, Grandma Noreen has planned a trip for each grandchild when they finish eighth grade. Along the way, they've made lifelong memories, from getting lost in Florida attempting to follow MapQuest directions to swimming with dolphins in California. At 87 years old, Grandma Noreen often calls herself blessed. The roles reversed this past July when eight of the 16 grandchildren took her on a trip to Hawaii, a place she's always wanted to visit. In a now-viral TikTok posted by Lindgren last week, the family is seen onboard a Hawaiian Airlines flight to Oahu when a flight attendant makes an unexpected announcement over the intercom of a "shout out from a very grateful group of grandkids" to a "true VIP" onboard – their grandmother. The grandchildren secretly planned this public declaration as a way to express their appreciation, the goal of making her feel special from the moment the trip began. "She's got a million stories, she loves to share them and it's so lovely," Lindgren told USA TODAY. "We were like, well, we're all gonna be sitting together. She might not be able to share her stories with people, so let's make sure her story is told." In the TikTok, the flight attendant reads a script written by Lindgren: "We're still not sure how she did it but somehow she made every single trip unforgettable and never met a stranger along the way. So now it's her turn. They're taking her on her dream trip and doing their best to stop her from organizing the whole thing." "Grandma Noreen, thank you for your love, your courage, and your endless curiosity, for being our biggest fan, our favorite travel buddy, and the queen of making memories," the crew member continued as the grandmother wipes tears from her eyes. Curious about a family trip? What it's like to cruise Disney with your whole family A longstanding family tradition The tradition started in 2000 with Lindgren, the eldest grandchild, when she was 14 years old. Lindgren's grandfather had suddenly passed in 1996, leaving Grandma Noreen wondering what to do during retirement – the idea of a grandmother-granddaughter trip struck. The two went to New York City, where they waved signs in the crowd for the "Today Show" and watched a river dance performance since Lindgren was a dancer growing up. Since then, Grandma Noreen has repeated the trip with each of her 16 grandchildren. (They propose several destination options, but the final choice is grandma-approved.) With one of them in tow, she's visited the World Golf Hall of Fame in St. Augustine, Florida; NASCAR race shops in North Carolina; and the Basketball Hall of Fame in Boston. She also took an Amtrak trip with another grandchild to Washington, D.C. – a journey that granddaughter hopes to recreate with her own children. Last year, Grandma Noreen went on her final trip with the youngest grandchild, so now was the time for her own travel dreams to come true. Story continues below. For years, the grandchildren had been discussing an all-cousin trip as a sort of reunion, but wanted to include their grandmother. They asked her where she's always wanted to go, and she answered with Hawaii. It was where her husband was stationed during the Korean War, and a place the couple never made it to together. "In my head, I was like, I can't hear my grandma say she wished she did something and not try and make it happen for her," Katie Sypniewski, one of the grandchildren, told USA TODAY. "So, I just shared the idea with my parents and then some of my cousins, and we just started kind of seeing how we could make it work." This past Christmas, the family surprised her with a trip to Hawaii by placing a lei, or flower necklace, around her neck. Although all 16 grandchildren tried to make the trip, only eight were able to go. Significant others weren't invited – it was just family time. Quality time in Hawaii Lindgren's family is quick to smile when thinking about their weeklong trip to Hawaii with their grandmother, from visiting Pearl Harbor to playing in the waves on the North Shore and becoming addicted to Dole Whip, the famous pineapple-flavored soft serve from the Dole Food Company. The eight grandchildren had been to Hawaii before, and wrote their own island-wide tour to take their grandmother on – each contributing something to show her. A moment that stood out to the family was touring Schofield Barracks, where their grandfather was stationed during the 50s. It was a must-do for Grandma Noreen. "We all have busy lives and we're all in our 20s and 30s, so it was just fun to be able to just slow down," Lindgren said. "I don't even know the last time we've spent six days together if we ever have consecutively, like all as cousins." The trip gave Lindgren and her family rare time with just each other, no outside distractions or obligations. "Even then (at family reunions), our partners, our kids, our parents, our everybody is in one house together, so it's not as much quality time, just the specific people," she added. In a little over a week, Lindgren's TikTok received over 4.5 million views. "It's been pretty cool to hear people's stories, how they wanna take my grandma's legacy and pass it on to their families, or sharing stories of their own family experiences," Lindgren said. "It's pretty cool to see that the impact she has on us, she now has on a lot of other people."

5 Baby Names a Teacher Cautions Parents To Think Twice About
Ask a kindergarten teacher to name their favorite student, and you'll get a polite shrug. Ask which names make them flinch, and you'll get a dissertation. After years of navigating playground disputes and kids swinging from coat hooks, educators can't help but develop strong, and occasionally irrational, opinions about names. Marianna Hayes, a dance studio owner in San Diego who has held a variety of teaching positions, fell victim to the name curse early in her career. 'There's no question, every teacher has a list of names they would never use for their own kids,' Hayes, 27, tells She shared her personal blacklist in a now-viral TikTok video that captured the attention of nearly two million viewers — many of them fellow teachers nodding in agreement. The first names Hayes calls out are Aubrey and Audrey. 'It's the same name,' she says. 'Don't do that to me, cause I bet you money I will have an Aubrey and an Audrey in the same class, and we're not about that.' While speaking to TODAY, Hayes explains that names like Aubrey and Audrey may look different on paper, but in a noisy setting filled with overlapping chatter, they might as well be identical. 'You say Aubrey and Audrey turns around,' she notes. Hayes also cautions parents against choosing names they believe are unique, warning that what feels rare today will likely become the next craze tomorrow. 'Any name that you think is going to be unique, it's not anymore,' she says in the clip. 'I had three parents come up to me and tell me that they thought Penelope was going to be original. It's not. I got a lot of Penelopes. ' One person captured the irony perfectly in the comments, writing, 'Me naming my daughter Penelope and saying 'we like it because it's different.'' In the United States, the name Penelope ranked 28th among baby girl names for the year 2024, according to the Social Security Administration's official list. But while some names rise in popularity, others multiply into near-endless variations, like Hayden, Brayden, and Jayden, each spelled differently but sounding almost the same. "There are a million of them!" Hayes tells TODAY. "Those names are so generic at this point." She concluded her TikTok with a personal anecdote, which, unsurprisingly, sparked plenty of reactions in the comments. 'I've only had one Lucy that I've ever enjoyed,' she quips in the video. 'The others made me say, 'Jesus, is this what I really want to do with my life?'' This article was originally published on Solve the daily Crossword

Plane passenger tries to outsmart airline's luggage rule by doing the unthinkable with her suitcase: ‘She's so real for that'
They told her to check the bag — she checked them instead. A fierce flyer is going viral for muscling her suitcase into a carry-on sizer at a European airport — leaving airline staff stunned when the bag actually fit. The shove came courtesy of TikTok user Arina (@summermken_official), who posted a video of herself forcefully wedging her luggage into a metal bag checker at the Vueling counter during a recent flight from Paris to London. 'Never give up, at least not on the sake of €200,' she wrote in the caption — and the internet agreed. The clip has racked up more than 10 million views since it was posted July 22. 'They asked me to place my bag in the checker to confirm it met size requirements,' Arina told Newsweek. 'It seemed that they were just suspicious of the size of my bag since it didn't seem like carry-on luggage.' The Spanish low-cost carrier, like many budget airlines, has earned a reputation for eagle-eyed enforcement of size rules — and for slapping on sky-high baggage fees. Vueling charges up to 88 euros (about $96) at the airport if your bag doesn't fit its requirements. 'I was 100% sure that it would fit […] plus I measured it before buying and it fit the standards of the company,' she told the outlet. What followed was a now-iconic suitcase showdown: Arina is seen in the clip straining to push her bag into the checker — and then yanking it out with just as much effort. The Vueling employee? Gobsmacked. 'She seemed quite surprised that the suitcase actually fit,' Arina said. 'She said, with genuine shock, that I must be very strong… she clearly didn't expect it to fit at all.' TikTokers applauded her persistence — and side-eyed the airline. 'Her face, that's 'I told you' face,' wrote one viewer in the comments section. 'She's so real for that,' another chimed in. 'Bro that's small carry-on too, I hate airlines,' added an additional user. As previously reported by The Post, one Ryanair passenger broke down in tears this week at Sofia Airport in Bulgaria after being denied boarding when her bag wouldn't fit the airline's size limits. Despite shoving it into the sizer, she refused to pay extra, pleaded with border police, and ultimately collapsed to her knees sobbing as staff looked on. Overall, when it comes to budget flights, it's bend or break — and these women did both. Solve the daily Crossword
