It’s Friday, so we’re wrapping up the week with a look at the stories making us smile.

First, there’s a big win for parents as flu season approaches: a new needle-free ‘FluMist’ nasal spray is now available for kids and teens. We check in on which states are offering it for free to help keep the family healthy this winter.

Then, we dive into the ‘viral’ moment that had the McDonald’s CEO’s own kids calling him out for his burger-tasting technique.

Plus, we celebrate some truly legendary longevity as we clear up the headlines surrounding Jonathan, the world’s oldest tortoise.

🗞️ HEADLINES
Brittany Higgins has welcomed the High Court's decision to dismiss Bruce Lehrmann's appeal
Israel has agreed to hold peace talks with Lebanon
Melania Trump has addressed the press to deny any links to convicted child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein
Stranger Things star Sadie Sink says social media is dangerous, deleting Instagram
