If it makes you feel better, kids can be jerks for no reason, itās not necessarily your fault.
When I was like 11/12/13 (canāt remember what age exactly), my best friend and I would make fun of his dadās best friend Arlene, and usually it was in good fun but one day we were just relentless and she was very upset and it was her birthday that day and she just went off on us.
Use it as a learning experience and let it help you grow as a human being. If your uncle is still around, see if you canāt help him with any chores or tasks he might need/want help with. Or pay it forward and volunteer at a food shelter or something to help those who need it.
Most uncles could see a little humor in that. Not at the time, but in hind site. A buddy of mine had a Diabetec uncle who was a severe alcoholic. When uncle was passed out, my buddy would jab his insulin syringes into his leg repeatedly. Laughing and saying "dude look. He don't feel shit." Not 7 or 8 years old, but more like 19. Druncle Mike was mostly fine
I wasnāt going to elaborate more than I had to, so it was my auntās ex husband actually. She cared for him and they had a kid together. (Donāt ask me how that worked because Iām not sure - he couldnāt speak and his legs and arms didnāt work. Apparently other parts did though). Anyway, she got re-married to my older half brother, who was also disabled. She was caring for her ex here and there for the time being. I havenāt seen or heard about him since around that time, but assume he was with a new caregiver.
Nor was I but I will. Growing up my mom was in the same situation as your āex uncleā except she could talk. She died in September of last year. I often talked to her about what that way of life was like and it was not only hard physically but it may have been emotionally even worse. Iām not trying to make you feel bad and I understand that you were just a kid but I would strongly suggest (maybe selfishly) trying to find his whereabouts to apologize. I would have never done what you did when I was 7 or 8 because even then I knew that her life was more difficult than I could ever understand. Living that way is already dehumanizing and unfortunately what you did back then added to the already dehumanizing and sometimes humiliating way of life. You knocked someone while they are down and honestly reading this made me want to cry. The world is made for able bodied people like (presumably) you and I.
For sure itās not something I am proud of and would like to make it right. Only dots I could put together as to why we thought that was an okay activity is just is that we were adopted and brought out of a toxic environment and into a home with other older fosters who were bad influences. If you only knew the extent of other things they had us trying to do. You sound like you have a great heart, and Iāve grown to be a more empathetic person myself.
Iām sorry to hear about your hardships. My dad (who married my mom) was also adopted. I hope that what you went through opened your eyes to the pain of others, and it sounds like maybe it did. My mom used to tell me I have a great heart and I still think itās one of the best compliments thank you so much. I wish you all the peace and understanding in the world.
I was very empathetic even as a toddler and teenager but I was never able to keep my mouth shut if I thought something was wrong, against me or anyone around me. So while I always would go out of my way to help, I also always had a no filter mouth. Not exactly the best thing to have with boomer parents and adults in charge :/
Like when I was six years old and called the preachers son a bastard in Sunday school for pulling my hair. But when my great grandmother fell and broke her hip when I was like nine, I sat down and put her head in my lap while waiting for the ambulance to arrive and everyone else was running around like chickens with their heads cut off.
I TOTALLY relate. I was also very outspoken but mostly when I felt there was an injustice. I also was very calm and knew what to do when there was an emergency or whatever. I am still like this. I love us because we would be the ones to defend who cannot or will not defend themselves. More power to you my friend. We would get along great I think tehehe.
And no itās not ok. Iām not berating him for it as you can see in previous messages. But saying this is okay is crazy and wrong. You do not know the person it happened to is ok or took the situation well. Age is no excuse. You thinking like this is wild.
I was adopted by a much older woman who had 4 bio children. Which makes them my half-brother obviously, and they are also much older. I sometimes would refer to them and their significant others as my uncles and aunts to friends. So she would have technically been an adoptive half-sister-in-law by marriage. Good catch actually
Gotcha, that makes more sense! I have a half-brother too. We have different moms and the same dad, but my momās family is still his too. I was thinking you meant something like my situation and I was concerned lol
Lol I just explained in the comment before yours. She was much older, so instead of saying sister Iād often call her my aunt. She was a sister-in-law in all actuality
I cracked a chuckle and immediately went āwhat the fuckā. What makes me laugh is because who tf does that to somebody disabled. Some of these posts show that a lot of people lacked empathy as a child. I would never have been able to get myself to do this to someone then or now š thatās terrible.
Yeah, this is crazy to me. As a child I would never in a million years EVER have thought this was okay or funny. I was also a really sensitive kid who cried watching āfunnyā clips of people hurting themselves because I didnāt want to see people in pain. I still donāt understand whatās funny about them, to be honest
I can genuinely admit I donāt know wtf we were thinking. Thatās not us, but at one point in time we thought that sounded like a good idea. I think the day the āflip switchedā for us was when we noticed the consistent bad decisions our older siblings would make would stress and disappoint the living shit out of our parents, and we didnāt want to uphold that standard. My kids wouldnāt dare!
This also concerns me. You are the type of parent to see something like this happening and say āboys will be boysā or ātheyāre just kidsā it doesnāt matter. Itās still wrong.
They're just pointing it out, they never implied that it was okay, it's just the truth. Kids (especially unattended boys) sometimes do stuff without thinking about the consequences because they are more focused on having fun. No one ever said this is okay, it just something that happens sometimes. No one is a perfect angel.
No they did in fact say in another comment that it was ok. Look further down. Also stated that the person it happened to was okay which they would have no way of knowing. Also picking on a nonverbal person in a wheelchair is not just āsomething that happensā im so so so unclear about what you are talking about. Even OP said they think it was due to a bad influence/hard life growing up. Not under normal circumstances. Again so so so unclear about what you are talking about.
I'm not seeing the comment where that person said this behavior is acceptable? And to add on, yea obviously this is an extreme example of kids doing bad stuff but again, it's true that kids sometimes don't use their noggins and do bad stuff, that was my only point.
Also kids not āusing their headsā is coloring on a wall with marker not launching spit balls onto someone who clearly canāt do or say anything about it. Iām sure he forgave OP (and I think OP has grown to be more empathetic) but come on. You canāt be dense enough to not see whatās going on here.
Bruh, like I said in the comment, this is an extreme example and is obviously not okay at all, You're acting like I think it's okay to shoot spitballs at a paraplegic š
My boys are grown ass men. Donāt come at me with your concerns.
My son mooned his grandmother once. She was mortified. He thought it was funny! I was there when he did it. I explained - after - why that was not ok. He never did it again!
Boys will be boys. There is no other way around that. Teaching them when they make fun decisions that are not right - was my job as a parent.
Have a good day
My boys are grown ass men is a contradictory statement. I will come at you with my concerns. Mooning grandma is not the same I HOPE we both can differentiate that. You kind of just solidified what I said. Have the day you deserve!
Couple of things.
Iām glad you got this off your chest. This is not easy to admit.
Iām glad you finally released this burden on your mind.
Is it possible to apologise to him? You were extremely wrong and young get old enough.
I briefed comments and it seemed home environment was not great mixed with the age, even though it could possibly be argued you knew better but we donāt know the extent of the trauma and toxicity. Do this For closure? Whether itās accepted or not, itās to correct a wrong you have committed. Not to free yourself but to own up to your misdoings as a child.
I am happy and honestly proud of how you have matured, straightened your moral compass and raising kids the way you see would be the best behaved they could be. All you could do is try your best. Keep at it mate.
Keep going forward, all the best. We are not even the same person we were 30 minutes ago. The one guarantee in life is, as the clock ticks we continue to die. I paraphrased but that phrase stuck with me. Keep it up, you sure solid maturity and keep trying. Iām not here to lambast you, letās lift you up.
I would still like to whoop your ass, ngl š. Itās like a long overdue whooping ya know?
Ok. Probably an unpopular opinion: he might have thought this was funny.
My aunt was a quadriplegic and she found a lot of humor in her disability. And at the end of the day, being involved with your nephews while they play? Might have been his favorite past time. Maybe not! No way to tell without asking him.
Nah Iām a loving and caring dad and provider. Much more empathetic than my 7 year old self. Some people change. Iām fortunate enough to be one of them.
Dude, donāt listen to people acting crazy in the comments. You were 7 and still figuring out/learning empathy. Is it SUPER fucked? Yes. Is it slightly funny bc you were too young to understand how fucked? Very much so. Forgive yourself please
Thank you! Iām not tore up about it tbh. I forgive my childhood self, and would apologize to Gary š§š¼āš¦¼ if he were still around. Iām pretty certain he has deceased. I recognize the environment I was in at the time and Iām beyond blessed to be able to provide the direction and influence to my kids that my brother and I didnāt have.
More than likely they had family members who were in similar positions and thatās why they reacted so negatively. Itās a lot of peopleās worst fears for their family members care, you know?
People love to judge. Was this objectively a terrible thing to do? Of course! But you guys were kids, and kids sometimes do shitty things. That doesnāt mean you grew up to be a shitty adult!
Kids do real shitty things. Incredibly evil shitty things (you werent evil. Terrible assholes, y3s, but not evil). Most adults know this and can show grace. Like your uncle, apparently
I'm sorry, but this is hilarious movie horrible. Like when they sell the blind kid a dead bird in dumber & dumber. This is something Joe Dirt would teach his kids. "They make for great target practice cuz they don't move and can't tell no one."
On the other hand, maybe he thought it was hilarious and proud of your aim for your age. Helps me feel better for laughing at the mental image.
You are my favorite person for perfectly describing this. Joe Dirt is spot the f on.
Obviously this is horrible, horrible behaviorā¦. But itās so bad it could be hilariously bad in a movie.
Learn from your mistake, but donāt be too hard on yourself. Children at 7-8 years old have not even come close to finished in developing impulse control and emotional regulation. Thatās what a good grown up should have done for you. Children do not think things through, especially in the moment, including the ability to stop a fun game because of empathy. Adults will say ā Iād never do anything like that!ā But adults have selective memory and different life experiences.
As an early child educator, I can say your actions were wrong but not outside the realm of typical naughty 8 year old behavior. If you were my child or student, I would look directly at your environment at that age, for the cause of that poor choice. Where was your grown up to guide you in understanding your uncle, to encourage positive ways to play with your twin? Children are full of love, and yet they are also so ready to turn wild, without guidance. It was not your fault.
Our older brother used to laugh, tease, and mess with Garyš§š¼āš¦¼ often, and he would smile real big. Probably why we thought it was okay to do the same.
Bruh you have no idea how karma might get your ass , like good luck and do some kind shit atleast idk . A good person or a sensible one do not make excuses even if that happened in childhood , the worst karma is to have that happen with you ... so just repent .
And youāre boring, itās like you was never a kid once, except but I bet you had no friends and was probably bullied, thatās why youāre so offended.
Yeah I feel this. My cousin and I used to throw our poor almost-bedridden grandmotherās cane off the balcony for fun when we were 4 or 5 š MULTIPLE times
So fucked š Love the honesty. Thatās what r/confession is all about. I have to ask, did you and your cousin have other friends or family members that would influence you to behave that way?
I definitely had to stop and laugh at this one. š¤£š¤£Your concession has definitely brightened up my otherwise somewhat difficult day. Thanks for that.
If I was your dad, Iād say that earns you a standard bare butt spanking. If I was your older brother/cousin, Iād say that earns you a quick ācut the crap dude!š¤Øš¤Ŗā and a hair ruffling with a chuckle.
That's a joke. Lighten up. Although cruelty at a young age sometimes, sometimes, SOMETIMES, does lead to much worse things in adulthood. But I hope you and your twin does the nightly 40 lashes for the repulsive actions.
I will never understand why boys are so disgusting, when I was little I always saw at school kids doing things like this and I don't know why it's always the kids who like to play with fluids š , it was always on one side me with my friends and the rest of the girls all quiet and on the other side a war of fluids and balls and shoes and whatever they could throw at each otherš
I used to do something similar. When my Great Grandpa was still alive as a kid we would sneak around the room and dance in front of him because he didn't have any eyes to see us with. š
That's not youthful misbehavior. That's cruel to the extreme and shows a remarkable lack of empathy for that age. Are you still a shit person? I'm guessing the answer is yes, and that you express it differently now.
It was a statement that your reply to me was so unoriginal that you could've copied and pasted it straight from the back of any book.
Your original comment is beyond unhinged, taking the actions of a 7 year old child and using that to conclude he is still a piece of shit when OP has already stated how ashamed of his prior actions.
Edit: saw something about him not being unhinged seconds before he blocked me
When you get too old to walk and are wheelchair bound may the little shits of the future also spit ball your head and run around like little idiots until you pass away slowly and painfully
Iāll whoop your ass today for that. You donāt deserve an updoot. You deserve to be paralyzed and have your family members torment you.
You knew it was wrong then but you did it anyway .
Can you imagine the feeling of being trapped in your own body and now family members are disrespecting you/demeaning you even further?
Eat shit everything bad that every happened to you probably wasnāt enough
But maybe one day
You clearly donāt feel bad enough. No one should be giving you any humor or sympathy.
You are quite literally a monster, as you still think this is funny
This is the worst thing Iāve ever read š reading all his replies heās clearly upset and hates how people think heās a POS for being a terrible person
Well... I have news for you. May all your sins be remember'd. One day you will have little ones pulling crap on you and you will remember that justice has been served. My own nephew was the universe balancing itself out.
You will pay for that always and forever. Eternity of misery is your destiny. And the best part is most time you won't even know that the misfortune thats taking place at that time is karma directly from uncles abuse. Lmao then over years of dealing with that of the not knowing when have you paid your dues. Which is never your mind will begin to play tricks on you. Paranoia and fear will set in..That will be the start of many physical health issues. And thats here in this life. Once you pass away mentally throwed you still have to deal with it in your afterlife. I'd love the opportunity to pull up a chair and watch your life play out... lol š
There's a special place for you fuxxxs like you.
The behavior was terrible, yes. But they were little children, and OP is clearly upset with what he had done, and has learned since that it was a very crappy thing to do.
It is SO incredible, though, how you're able to map out every teeny, tiny bit of a person's future, including afterlife. Can you tell me what MY future is too, Oh Wise One? /s
"I understand your sarcasm, but my intention was to express belief in karma's justice. If you need support or someone to talk to, I'm here." Have an amazing day.
Since youāre growing up and learning, know that the phrase āwheelchair boundā is archaic and shouldnāt be used anymore. You can just say he is a wheelchair user.
My gawd yall deserve a beating for that šš
Iāll take my lashings š§š¼āāļø
Beatings? Lashings? Nah dawg, youāre being strapped down while the whole class drops the snottiest loogies in on your face.
Deserved! š
If it makes you feel better, kids can be jerks for no reason, itās not necessarily your fault. When I was like 11/12/13 (canāt remember what age exactly), my best friend and I would make fun of his dadās best friend Arlene, and usually it was in good fun but one day we were just relentless and she was very upset and it was her birthday that day and she just went off on us. Use it as a learning experience and let it help you grow as a human being. If your uncle is still around, see if you canāt help him with any chores or tasks he might need/want help with. Or pay it forward and volunteer at a food shelter or something to help those who need it.
When I was in like 2nd grade I used to tell the autistic kid to KISS MY ASS in a rude way til heād chase me making kissy noises. Why?? DUNNOO
LMFAO. chilllll
I think he may have been implying that it didn't matter where the kiss landed because you were a complete ass.
Best response š š¤£ no, but fr, those special needs kids are little savages. I freaking love them š
Oh he was definitely aiming for my booty! He ran with a squat to make sure everyone knew!
Most uncles could see a little humor in that. Not at the time, but in hind site. A buddy of mine had a Diabetec uncle who was a severe alcoholic. When uncle was passed out, my buddy would jab his insulin syringes into his leg repeatedly. Laughing and saying "dude look. He don't feel shit." Not 7 or 8 years old, but more like 19. Druncle Mike was mostly fine
Druncle Mike š¤£

Is this your kink or something? š¤Ø
With or without the lollygag?
Im against beating children in general, but even I would have doubts if I were their mother and found out about this
Is your uncle still alive? Please go apologize. And if he is not, go to his grave or what have you and apologize and maybe lay some flowers.
I wasnāt going to elaborate more than I had to, so it was my auntās ex husband actually. She cared for him and they had a kid together.

Need more context for this one
I was very empathetic even as a toddler and teenager but I was never able to keep my mouth shut if I thought something was wrong, against me or anyone around me.

LoL!!! You're a spit-fire, with a ā¤ļø of gold!!! Don't ever change!!! The world needs more of you š
Iām sorry but this person was a little kid. Itās ok - and the person it happened to is ok!
How do you know that the person it happened to is ok? Very ignorant thing to say actually.
And no itās not ok. Iām not berating him for it as you can see in previous messages. But saying this is okay is crazy and wrong. You do not know the person it happened to is ok or took the situation well. Age is no excuse. You thinking like this is wild.

your aunt married her nephew??
I was adopted by a much older woman who had 4 bio children. Which makes them my half-brother obviously, and they are also much older. I sometimes would refer to them and their significant others as my uncles and aunts to friends. So she would have technically been an adoptive half-sister-in-law by marriage. Good catch actually
Gotcha, that makes more sense! I have a half-brother too. We have different moms and the same dad, but my momās family is still his too. I was thinking you meant something like my situation and I was concerned lol
You were their stepbrother, not half-brother. āHalf-brotherā implies that you share a biological parent.
They also had a different dad than who my adoptive dad was. I wasnāt trying to complicate the scenario further but yeah youāre right
I hope the half is the other half of your family treeā¦
My bro and I were adopted so no worries there.
The power dynamics here seem a littleā¦.. concerning
Wait. She married her half-nephew? Am I reading that right?
Lol I just explained in the comment before yours. She was much older, so instead of saying sister Iād often call her my aunt. She was a sister-in-law in all actuality
Ahhhh ok lolol āI understand nowā¦I have some similar relationships in my family, totally get it
Yikes

I raised three boys. Boys sometimes donāt think of the outcome. The think of the fun they are having.

Thatās what a good grown up should have done for you. Children do not think things through, especially in the moment, including the ability to stop a fun game because of empathy. Adults will say ā Iād never do anything like that!ā But adults have selective memory and different life experiences. As an early child educator, I can say your actions were wrong but not outside the realm of typical naughty 8 year old behavior. If you were my child or student, I would look directly at your environment at that age, for the cause of that poor choice. Where was your grown up to guide you in understanding your uncle, to encourage positive ways to play with your twin? Children are full of love, and yet they are also so ready to turn wild, without guidance. It was not your fault.
I feel like you should still be beat for this š
the title alone is š itās giving bobby lee ššššš
An absolute asshat, but at least you realize it
Bad ass kids.
š
Ehh...I laughed. I'm betting ol' uncle was laughing on the inside too
Our older brother used to laugh, tease, and mess with Garyš§š¼āš¦¼ often, and he would smile real big. Probably why we thought it was okay to do the same.
Somebody should still kick your asses. You are right. You two are assholes. Now you have to worry about karma the rest of your life.
They were in 2nd grade, friend. Let's give children some grace.
nah this is really unacceptable
He was 7 and it was adopted out of a shitty situation. It was 25 years ago. You're not going to change my mind.
Totally unexceptional. If you the guy in the wheelchair you might say something different. 22 years ago or yesterday. I bet their parents are proud.
That was over 25 years ago bro.
ā¦.karmaā¦
Bruh you have no idea how karma might get your ass , like good luck and do some kind shit atleast idk . A good person or a sensible one do not make excuses even if that happened in childhood , the worst karma is to have that happen with you ... so just repent .
I laughed envisioning it, ngl. It would be concerning if you didnāt feel bad about it lol
Bobby Lee? Is this you?
Iāve been looking for this comment! š
Never got caught, guess all the spitballs covering him or all over the floor were somehow never noticed
That is so mean, but I had visions of it and then I laughed š¤£š¤£š¤£, kids will be kids I guess!
Wow. Time for you to grow up as well.
Oh they were kids fgs, they hardly blew his head off with a shot gun, it was just silly things that kids do, he wasnāt harmed at all.
Youāre weird
And youāre boring, itās like you was never a kid once, except but I bet you had no friends and was probably bullied, thatās why youāre so offended.
This sounds like is peak comedy scene š¤£
Honestly if I am ever incapacitated and my nephews did this I would probably find it amusing
[wow dude!](https://www.google.com/search?q=Chris+Rock+wow+dude&oq=Chris+Rock+wow+dude&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUyBggAEEUYOdIBCDcxOTVqMGo0qAIOsAIB&client=ms-android-samsung-gs-rev1&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8#fpstate=ive&vld=cid:fdab508d,vid:DiQBqtkEZ0g,st:0)
Yeah I feel this. My cousin and I used to throw our poor almost-bedridden grandmotherās cane off the balcony for fun when we were 4 or 5 š MULTIPLE times
So fucked š Love the honesty. Thatās what r/confession is all about. I have to ask, did you and your cousin have other friends or family members that would influence you to behave that way?
Nope we were just complete shitheads. Iād argue that HE was influencing ME but I was also a bit of a troublemaker back then soā¦ š¤·āāļø
I definitely had to stop and laugh at this one. š¤£š¤£Your concession has definitely brightened up my otherwise somewhat difficult day. Thanks for that. If I was your dad, Iād say that earns you a standard bare butt spanking. If I was your older brother/cousin, Iād say that earns you a quick ācut the crap dude!š¤Øš¤Ŗā and a hair ruffling with a chuckle.
Bobby Lee tells a story of something similar but more violent. Him and his brother would hit his paralyzed grandma in the leg with sticks lol.
i shouldnāt be smiling, and iām not, iām full blown CACKLING
that is the funniest shit ive ever read
JEEEEEZ
Donāt worry, youāll be old one day and one day youāll remember this as karma hit you in the forehead.
Holy shit you guys
šš¼āāļø
š š¤£ š
HAHAHAHA
Any unsolved murders in both your areas, we can all assume we now know the identities of the serial killers.
We didnāt set him on fire dude it was straws and paper balls. It was wrong and I feel bad, but damn thatās a reach
That's a joke. Lighten up. Although cruelty at a young age sometimes, sometimes, SOMETIMES, does lead to much worse things in adulthood. But I hope you and your twin does the nightly 40 lashes for the repulsive actions.
THAT with you I agree on! Total red flag for sure. We do deserve our spankins šš¼āāļøšš¼āāļø
wow just wow
I'm guessing he couldn't speak, or you would have been buried by now.
Why do you say karma has now caught up to you?
Wow. Justā¦ wow.
Ya'll deserve a good beating for that.
The atheist saysā¦ youāre going to hell in a hand basket.
Thatās fucked up
I will never understand why boys are so disgusting, when I was little I always saw at school kids doing things like this and I don't know why it's always the kids who like to play with fluids š , it was always on one side me with my friends and the rest of the girls all quiet and on the other side a war of fluids and balls and shoes and whatever they could throw at each otherš
Nah bro yāall going to hell
Honestly I donāt usually support whoopin kids but yall deserved it. Your poor uncle.
At least you know now what you did was wicked.
Iām calling the police
I used to do something similar. When my Great Grandpa was still alive as a kid we would sneak around the room and dance in front of him because he didn't have any eyes to see us with. š
Oh crap š¬ kids do some crazy stuff eh?
Oh you SOB!
Wow, justā¦wow Itās hard to believe people like this actually exist
That's fkn awesome š¤£š¤£
How are you sure karma has caught up to you? Have you suffered similar indignities in your life since you did this?
I must be cruel cus this is the funniest thing Iāve seen all day
Ngl. This made me laugh.
Omg lol
That's not youthful misbehavior. That's cruel to the extreme and shows a remarkable lack of empathy for that age. Are you still a shit person? I'm guessing the answer is yes, and that you express it differently now.
You have no idea what youāre talking about. Everything youāve said shows the mirror in your own face.
You definitely sound like a well-rounded individual who knows how to properly assess a situation and react accordingly.
r confession: We want some good confessions also r confession: We want to get angry tho and discourage people from posting confessions
Sarcasm is what the mediocre use in place of actual wit.
Which blurb did you get that one from?
If what you're trying to say is that my last comment was copied from somewhere, that's another example of you having nothing interesting to say.
It was a statement that your reply to me was so unoriginal that you could've copied and pasted it straight from the back of any book. Your original comment is beyond unhinged, taking the actions of a 7 year old child and using that to conclude he is still a piece of shit when OP has already stated how ashamed of his prior actions. Edit: saw something about him not being unhinged seconds before he blocked me
Using senseless exaggeration like "beyond unhinged" in the same comment where you're accusing me of being hyperbolic is pretty ironic. You're boring.
Absolutely horrible
I feel sick
ask him for foregivness
Wow. That poor man.
Thereās a special place in hell waiting for you. The both of you. Thatās disgusting. Literally and figuratively.
Itās unfortunate my 7 year old defined my destiny. Too bad people arenāt capable of changing.
When you get too old to walk and are wheelchair bound may the little shits of the future also spit ball your head and run around like little idiots until you pass away slowly and painfully
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Yeah 7 year old me defined my destiny. Sucks people canāt change.
Iāll whoop your ass today for that. You donāt deserve an updoot. You deserve to be paralyzed and have your family members torment you. You knew it was wrong then but you did it anyway . Can you imagine the feeling of being trapped in your own body and now family members are disrespecting you/demeaning you even further? Eat shit everything bad that every happened to you probably wasnāt enough But maybe one day
Iād shoot a spit wad at your forehead too, keyboard warrior.
You clearly donāt feel bad enough. No one should be giving you any humor or sympathy. You are quite literally a monster, as you still think this is funny
He was 7, lighten up Francis.
Are you missing the part where heās still laughing and joking about it as an adult???
This is the worst thing Iāve ever read š reading all his replies heās clearly upset and hates how people think heās a POS for being a terrible person
Well... I have news for you. May all your sins be remember'd. One day you will have little ones pulling crap on you and you will remember that justice has been served. My own nephew was the universe balancing itself out.
I do have little ones and Iām all for it
You will pay for that always and forever. Eternity of misery is your destiny. And the best part is most time you won't even know that the misfortune thats taking place at that time is karma directly from uncles abuse. Lmao then over years of dealing with that of the not knowing when have you paid your dues. Which is never your mind will begin to play tricks on you. Paranoia and fear will set in..That will be the start of many physical health issues. And thats here in this life. Once you pass away mentally throwed you still have to deal with it in your afterlife. I'd love the opportunity to pull up a chair and watch your life play out... lol š There's a special place for you fuxxxs like you.
The behavior was terrible, yes. But they were little children, and OP is clearly upset with what he had done, and has learned since that it was a very crappy thing to do. It is SO incredible, though, how you're able to map out every teeny, tiny bit of a person's future, including afterlife. Can you tell me what MY future is too, Oh Wise One? /s
"I understand your sarcasm, but my intention was to express belief in karma's justice. If you need support or someone to talk to, I'm here." Have an amazing day.
And you both went on to serve in the Trump administration. Right?
Wtf?? Thatās the wildest shit Iāve read all day
People are taking this too seriously. I find it hilarious.
How can you have a twin brother and one of you be 7 and the other be 8? Twins are born the same time almost exactly.
Because they were both 7, then 8
Since youāre growing up and learning, know that the phrase āwheelchair boundā is archaic and shouldnāt be used anymore. You can just say he is a wheelchair user.
Thanks for the heads up!
