These Two Little Girls Give The Best Relationship Advice
Sometimes the answers to our questions are more evident to a child than to an adult. That's why it's always extra funny to me when young children give adults advice on topics that they should perhaps already know the answer to.
Enter sisters Dani and Dannah, two hilarious girls who both have unique and sassy ways of breaking down difficult topics to adults.
The girls have been offering relationship, life, and sometimes Biblical advice on social media for some time now. But the girls didn't go viral until 5-year-old Dannah gave us a hilarious retelling of a break up story that had us all in tears.
Dannah and her 7-year-old sister, Dani, surprised us when a conversation about their day at school took an immediate left, as Dannah decided to spill some tea to Instagram. "My boyfriend right? The one that dumped me," the kindergartner began.
From there, Dannah told us how her ex tried to come back after dumping her, but this time bearing gifts. He gave her a bracelet and she told him that she planned on keeping it. Then, served him with a swerve.
Fast-forward to October 2017, and the girls hopped on Instagram to offer this bit of advice for people struggling in life: "Don't call Tyrone! Call Jesus!"
Their honesty was so funny and well-delivered, that it landed the sassy sisters on The Steve Harvey Show show to help Steve give advice on his "Hey Steve" segment.
During the segment, when an audience member who had been single for four years, asked the girls what she should do about dating men who can't fully express their words, Dannah had the obvious answer:
Spoken like a true guru.
Take a look at the segment and the girls' sassy responses to audience members questions below:

Rihanna Talks Shedding Expectations And Finding Balance As A Mother
Since becoming a mother in 2022, Rihanna has defined parenthood by her terms and hopes to pass that sense of autonomy on to her children.
For Vogue China’s April cover story, Rihanna shared her perspective on raising her two sons with A$AP Rocky, and how she hopes to preserve her children’s uniqueness, devoid of societal expectations.
"The most beautiful thing...is that [children] come into the world with their own individuality and sincerity, without any logic or conformity,” she told the publication. “Which usually makes you feel that you must fit into a certain group."
The “Work” artist, known for her trendsetting style and captivating persona, expressed her desire to support children in fully embracing their individuality and encouraging them to be whoever they want to be. "It's really beautiful to see and I want to continue to help them navigate that and make sure that they know they can be whoever they want to be,” she says.
She continues, “They should embrace it completely, because it's beautiful, and it's unique. I love them just that way."
From shattering music charts to shaking up the beauty industry, Rihanna has forged a path that has since created the “dream” life we see today. One that she says has made her parents proud of.
“I’m living my dream,” she continued. “My parents were very proud of that because they just wanted me to be happy and successful. So, I think the key thing is to find some kind of balance. Yes, balance is important. Do this and you get the best of both worlds. You can write your own life the way you want, and it will be beautiful. Sometimes, you just need to let go of everyone’s expectations and start living your own story.”
Rihanna, who shares sons, RZA, 23 months, and Riot, 8 months, with rapper A$AP Rocky, recently shared her vision for expanding her family in the future in Interview Magazine.
When stylist Mel Ottenberg asked about the number of additional children she hoped to have, Rihanna replied, "As many as God wants me to have.”
"I don't know what God wants, but I would go for more than two. I would try for my girl,” she adds. “But of course, if it's another boy, it's another boy."
