kindness makes a big impact. >> this little boy's name is beau. he has autism. often he eats by himself in the cafeteria. other kids don't want to sit with him. a friend of hers said did you see this picture on facebook? your son is eating with this guy named travis rudolph. he's a football player from fsu. they were visiting the school boy. and he saw beau eating by himself and said may i eat with you? the mom said when she saw the picture she burst too tears because she said in her posting sometime she's almost glad that her child has autism because maybe he's unaware that he is being isolated. she said but she saw this picture and she saw on this particular day that the little boy did not have to eat alone.

witness my son. >> that makes me cry. >> she said it will not soon be forgotten. if i have kids at that school and i saw that, i'd go, why weren't you sitting with him? that's where you were supposed to be sitting. i'd want a darn good answer for that. it starts with parents. you teach your kid how to be generous and thoughtful and kind. think back there were always kids who were isolated. >> of course. >> and other kids are -- you're almost afraid to go over and be with that other kid because you feel like it's almost contagious like no one will like me either. it's a very scary thing. you're right, more kids need to say i'm going over there. >> give them permission to as a

should be doing. why do you care what mean kids think? >> that young man, travis, god bless him. >> so britney because talking about dating. >> she was. >> she says that she knows right away whether or not a guy is right for her. she opened up to marie claire magazine. she went on a date and she knew it wasn't right and she was sort of stuck in it because the date was already going on. you can't just bail. >> well, you could but you'd he because you're britney spears. >> let's say you meet someone. it's a setup with friends. you're introduced to the guy. you sit down for five minutes and you know it's a big, fat bust. >> well, i'm not dating. i can't even imagine what it's like to date in this world now. it's been 30 years since i -- i think what worked for me before would probably still work, which is never put yourself in a position where it would be

to on a first date. i would always say i'll have a cup of coffee with you in a very public place or a drink with you somewhere. and just let them know that you're really, really busy. and then if you have to get up and go, you haven't lied. just make sure you can nicely get out of it before you're stuck in it. >> if you start off the date by saying, oh gosh, i wish this could be long. glad to meet you. if it's good after an hour you can stretch it. >> honesty is the best policy. a lot of people don't like to hurt people's feelings but you just have to say so sorry, i'm not interested right now. whatever. you don't have to be cruel about it. >> no, you don't. >> here's some good news about this song. >> okay. >> you know when you hear a song and you think it's one song and

thing. >> but one night, you have a big thing tomorrow and you got to sleep. i can't sleep. i can't sleep. i can't sleep. because one doctor told us it's better to at least get rest because you're not going to get addicted from one night. >> yeah. >> but also i think that you get a great benefit just from resting. i think people panic, i can't sleep. what am i doing? >> it's okay to rest. >> resting in bed is really restoretive as well. >> thank goodness. i wouldn't be here. >> one more. >> one more for sleep. >> myth. >> so you actually can. there are studies that say -- >> yes, alex. >> the point is, don't make a habit of it but can you get your health back after missed sleep. >> thank you. all right. if this didn't wake you up, we know what will. >> britney spears is going to perform from vegas for us.
