  1. Totally worth the five minutes! Thank you, Jenny.
    P.S. I love the new Nowhere hoodies 🙂

  6. The fox!!! Pretty much all animals-related videos are adorable, but the fox is what really made me smile. So adorable!!

  8. Thank you! Holy shit did I need this. Now I’m going to go watch them all again.

  10. So worth watching…I’m stressed out about school and it was a nice momentary distraction.

  18. Facebook will not let me watch more than 2 or 3 of these because I do not have an account and I do not wish to have one.

  21. First time I have laughed really hard and loud in a long, long time! Thanks, Jenny❤️

  31. That was freakin awesome. Savannah was definitely my favorite and I’d go to Church if I could sit behind her every week

  35. These were all great, but the dinosaur one made me laugh so hard this morning I woke up my partner in the other room! Best day of the week!

  40. The oranges in church story gave me a full on case of laughing till I cried. Thank you!

Yesterday I was telling my friends that I have to take Hailey to the Blossom Culp stadium for graduation practice and they looked at me weird bc apparently it’s the “Blossom stadium” and I’ve been saying it wrong for years and I just realized that Blossom Culp was the heroine of Richard Peck book series I loved when I was little and had forgotten existed until now.
