One of the reigning queens of country music is joining American Idol. According to Deadline, Carrie Underwood has been tapped to take over Katy Perry’s seat when the competition show returns for its 25th season. Underwood would judge alongside returning stars Lionel Richie and Luke Bryan. She’s a fitting replacement, as Underwood got her start after winning the show’s fourth season 19 years ago.

Buzzfeed has a list of "things basically every single person experienced during their childhood but never, ever talks about." It's fascinating . . . but there's also a reason no one talks about this stuff, it's totally random and lowkey. (remember the slang from yesterday????)
Here are 15 highlights from the list:
1. Blowing into a straw while drinking milk to create "milk bubbles."
2. When first learning how to swim, having an irrational fear of SHARKS in the deep end of a POOL.
3. Drawing a sun in the top corner of a piece of paper.
4. Believing that gum would stay in your stomach for seven years. That's a classic one . . . along with getting yelled at for turning on the interior light of the car when someone was driving at night.
5. Playing with a foam ball . . . that had a big BITE or chunk taken out of it.
6. Pinching their finger (or their lips) in a hairclip . . . for no reason.
7. Rolling up the straps of your backpack . . . as tight as humanly possible.
8. Stabbing an eraser . . . with your pencil . . . leaving graphite holes in it.
9. Freaking out after swallowing a seed, like from an apple or watermelon.
10. Watching "your" raindrop try to win the race as it streaked down the windshield or bedroom window.
11. Having a bodyboard slip out from underneath you while swimming, and having it "uppercut" you in the face.
12. Pretending to "smoke" when it's cold outside and you can see your breath.
13. Taking a magnet and trying to force two same-poles together.
14. Sitting in church, and looking up at the massive light fixtures, and trying to figure out who they'd kill if they fell.
15. Rubbed glue all over their hands just to peel it off:
16 Ate Mac N Cheese (boxed) like a dignified human being, with one piece on each tine of the fork.
17. This one is a bit off-topic: "When you randomly smell a specific scent you remember as a kid, and the nostalgic memories come flooding in."
