Little ones are not afraid to dream about seemingly impossible things such as owning a zoo or becoming an astronaut. A 6-year-old boy was obsessed with all things related to space and would wear cool t-shirts featuring planets and astronauts.

Kevin Kelly had a birthday party earlier this month. It featured a giant bubble-maker, a magic show, an ice cream truck, a toy train demonstration, and a guy who made balloon hats. Kelly, who turned not 6 but 71, invited guests such as Matt Mullenweg, Hugh Howey, Stewart Brand, and Jaron Lanier. The second-grade vibe was unintentional, Kelly says—“I was just trying to do things I thought were fun, and a stripper does not interest me”—but it was very Kelly, who’s made a career and a life of applying a childlike openness to…

One of the most dangerous and frequently committed crimes in India is underage driving. Regular sightings of children driving scooters, motorcycles, and automobiles are common in the country. However, most of the time, the children spotted driving are between the ages of 12 and 18, but sometimes they can be as young as 6.
