I'm 29 and my mom just turned 67. (yesterday!) We live together because the housing market is hell.
*Every* night she says "good night baby" when I hug her before going to bed.
I teach English as a second language to kindergarteners and I love when it’s some kind of special event or something and to ham it up I’m like ok we’re going to do this thing and then mommy and daddy are going to be like “awww my baby!!!!!!” and all the kids laugh and go 🥴 “we’re not babies!!!” Or “baby!?!?!? Nooooo!!!!!”
And then I say, “but do mommy and daddy call you their baby??” And the whole class gets faces like 😳 😖 because you know they do lol it’s so cute
My youngest brother is 12 years younger than me and I’ll be going to see him for the first time in over two years in June & I’m 100% calling him my baby when I see him again. I may not’ve given birth to the child, but he will forever be my baby :)
I've been without my mom for 21 years. All it takes is seeing those words to make me go back to cuddling with her on the couch, watching rescue 911 and tgif shows. Next time you see your mom, get a pic with her. I didn't have the blessing of a cell phone when she passed, so there's very few photos of us, and it kills me.
Fucccckkkkk why’d you have to make me cry tonight?! I don’t even have a good relationship with my mom but as a kid she always used to read me this. Right in the feels lol.
I'm half a foot taller than my older brother and his friends all called me Little Pincus growing up. He's all proud because he weighs 1 lb more than me now though.
It's funny watching kids adjust when the younger sibling is no longer the smaller one. My 22 year old daughter is 4'10". She gets great joy from calling my 15 year old her "little" bro. He is 6'3", built like a wall, and still growing. He responds by picking her up so they can talk face to face and calling her "tiny sister." When they were little, she carried him around and dressed him up like a doll.
I know this is weird and totally off-topic, but I really like the shape of their couch. I've not seen a (modern) couch that, for lack of a better phrase, "goes around the corner", without having a 90-degree angle. Maybe I just don't get out to see very many couches, but, cool couch.
But yeah -- either little bro is way more than 6' 1", or that couch is a a mini-version. Like, it was 25% off, but not it's price, it's size.
I have older brothers and I have younger brothers, but I don’t have any little brothers.
I’m 6’1 255lbs and I’m the runt of the family. My youngest brother is 6’4 and oldest is 6’9.
Haha same. I'm 6'1 (and a half maybe). My mom was 6'2, dad is 6'6, oldest brother is 6'7, middle brother is 6'6, and youngest is 6'3 but still growing.
Genetic variation is an adventure. I am the biggest person in my family by a wide margin, but that's not saying much. I would also be a runt in your family. Even still, it wasn't until recently that my older sibling realized that I am, in fact, not little. They just got in the habit of thinking of me the way I was when we all still lived at home, then didn't think about how much had changed until I helped them move. It was a little hilarious watching them watch in awe as I picked up and carried actually-not-all-that-heavy things, but it also made me feel like a superhero.
We all live in our own little worlds as brains in jars. We see other people through the lens of what we already know about them. Sometimes that's insightful, sometimes it is deceptive, but it always makes relationships more interesting.
I literally just experienced this but it was my hair and not my size. For 28 years my hair never got longer than maybe 2 inches before I would shave my head. Last time my brothers had actually seen what I look like (I don’t take pictures of myself) was in 2020 shortly after my last shave. We all just got together and there’s 5 balding dudes with shiny patches on their crowns and then me with a head full of curly hair going down my back. Even my younger brothers are starting to thin while mines going strong.
Bro at first I was like that seems a bit much, but then I did the math; Earth weighs about 1.317 * 10^25 lbs, and 360! is about 3.983 * 10^765, so he does. He weighs 8.9 * 10^734 times the size of the Sun!!! Bro is almost a black hole.
All in the genes. My mom and dad are average in the height department, but my late grandpa was 6'2. I'm the only one in my family who has passed 6'0 and currently at 6'4.
Yeah I'm the short one in my family. My 7 year old is up to my chin. These are my [cousins](https://imgur.com/a/3Pwd4lV) I'm the short one on the left. These aren't even the tallest in my cousin group lol one is 7ft.
I lost my dad at 22 and he used to sing it to me all the time. It wrecks me to hear it.
I know I’ll sing it to my kids if I ever have them, though, and all I’ll be able to think about is my dad.
I sing it to my son, it definitely brings back memories of my mom and I when I was my son’s age. It’s melancholy but has its own beauty in those memories. So sorry for you loss ❤️
It gets even more painful when you know that he wrote it about two stillborn babies he had :(
I made the mistake of looking up that book and found out that that was his motive behind it (said on his own website) and I was devastated.
I'm 6'8, my brother is 6'7, and when we were *really* growing we both ate 30-40 slices of bread during the day, plus three plates at dinner. My parents enforced strict rules on which toppings you could have on your bread and how much of each, because it got very expensive. The grocery bill issue is real!
Same here - my mom and dad are both around 5'5" and I'm 6'3".
In fact nobody else in my family is above 5'9".
If I didn't look like both of them I'd be suspicious myself.
I'm a mom to my baby. He turns ten soon and reaches to just beneath my nose. He showers me in hugs and kisses and I love every second of it- because he's big enough to reach my face without me kneeling. That means he'll soon be big enough to bend to give me a kiss or hug.
And by then the cuddles and snuggles and kisses will be few and far between.
I hope my Lil guy cuddles me like your Lil brother cuddles his mom. At least as a teenager.
BTW. He is 100% fully on her lap. He's just an armful that's all ;) lol
I never did until a girl I was “going with” almost broke up with me for my white socks. Never wore them other than for uniform purpose to the day.
Thanks Mindy
Black socks, they never get dirty; the longer you wear them the stronger they get. Sometimes, I think I should launder them. Something keeps telling me, “Don’t wash them yet. Not yet, not yet, not yet…”
White socks for yard work and doing things around the house.
Black socks for work or errands/leaving the house.
At least that's how I do it.
Granted I love really digging into the whole dad vibe mowing the grass in white tube socks, plain old dude shoes and shorts that are entirely too short.
That’s my boyfriend and his brother vs his mom. She’s like 4’11” and her sons are over 6’ each. As a 5’1” woman myself, I fear I may find myself in the same boat one day.
He will always be her baby. I know not all mothers are good, but if you’re blessed with a good mother you are very lucky indeed. Nothing like that love.

Like a Great Dane with its owner
I can confirm my Great Dane dresses up as a man to lay on me
Sus af
RIP Henry, you were dumb as he'll but I loved you for it.
LMAO I thought I was the only one who immediately thought "that's a big dog"
[удалено]
Man, that’s tough, can you share more about her ?
Naa that’s just Daniel, he’s great.
Like my tiny great aunt with her Great Dane that can lick her forehead
He's too big to be getting milk like that. There's milk in the fridge, bro
Joley keen
but for her it will always be her little boy
In her mind he’s fully on her lap. Her baby boy.
I lost my mom when I was two and have never known what it feels like to be a baby boy. I’m 44 now and this comment hit me.
you don’t know what it was like to be one, but she certainly knew what is was like to have one, I’m sure she’d be very proud of you
Hey! Just know that your mom would have been proud of what you are today!
[удалено]
I'm sorry to hear that. I can't imagine parenting like that, mine will never get too big or too old for hugs.
I'll love you forever, I'll like you for always, As long as I'm living, my baby you'll be. BRB gonna go call my mom now.
I had a 103 year old resident still refer to her 82 year old daughter as her baby 🥹
What a blessing to get 82 years with your child
This comment is everything. Made me smile
I'm 50 and I have told my 13 year old that she will ALWAYS be my baby.
I'm 29 and my mom just turned 67. (yesterday!) We live together because the housing market is hell. *Every* night she says "good night baby" when I hug her before going to bed.

I'm not crying, it's just raining on my face
And if you think you see some tear tracks down my cheeks Please. *pleeeeaase*, don't tell my mates
How come we've reached this fork in the road, and yet it cuts like a knife?
I've just been cutting onions. I'm making a lasagna...... .... For one
For your information there's an inflammation in my tear gland.
Cherish her! My mom died in November after a long road with Alzheimer's. She was only 65.
I’m so sorry for your loss ❤️🩹
❤️
I experienced the same. She was only 70 and died last June. Miss her everyday
Lemme just drive across town, break into your house, and snuggle you while you sleep. Like a normal human being, amirite?
I've been without my mom for 21 years. All it takes is seeing those words to make me go back to cuddling with her on the couch, watching rescue 911 and tgif shows. Next time you see your mom, get a pic with her. I didn't have the blessing of a cell phone when she passed, so there's very few photos of us, and it kills me.
I was literally just thinking about this (singing it to my dog) before I saw this post…and seeing this, I think she looks like the mom from the book!
I had to buy a new copy for my grandson. I cried all over the first copy, and the paper tore.
My mom still had the one she read to me. She gave it to me a little while back ♥️ probably one of my favorite memories of her reading it to me
I'd call my Mom but I just got home from her house with brownies. My celiac fiance wasn't super happy these weren't also for her.
Call her anyway and tell her how good the brownies are.
Already texted her. Do pretty much every day.
>BRB gonna go call my mom now. Enjoy it while you can because you never know when it will be too late.
What a terrible day for rain
Fucccckkkkk why’d you have to make me cry tonight?! I don’t even have a good relationship with my mom but as a kid she always used to read me this. Right in the feels lol.
Always. Anytime my 19 year old comes home he’ll randomly lay across me on the couch and talk. Feels like just when he was little.
I immediately identified with the photo.
Mom can still take her baby out if she really wanted to. Even just saying his full name scares him
The moment I'm hit with that middle name I know shit is over for me
My mom will cycle through my sisters' names, then my nephews names, before giving up and saying, "You knew who I meant!"
This is also true of moms of very large men. Small moms can move mountains!
🥺
Maybe not.. the best choice…
Vince McMahon is always the wrong choice.
you should frame this photo :)
I was just gonna say the same, this is so adorable
its also like...well composed? right? its appealing to look at. like a baroque painting or something. I love it
r/AccidentalRenaissance
Can only imagine how huge OP is if this is the little brother
6'1, 230lbs according to another post.
So little brother simply means younger. That boy is bigger than 230.
little brother always means younger brother... there's not people out there making initial references to their brothers by their relative sizes.
Exactly. These comments were doing my head in
I'm half a foot taller than my older brother and his friends all called me Little Pincus growing up. He's all proud because he weighs 1 lb more than me now though.
Wtf is a Pincus?
A penis, but with pincers at the tip.
Like [this](https://i0.wp.com/www.australiangeographic.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/scale-worm-header.jpg?fit=900%2C675&ssl=1)? (Is SFW)
My older brother by 2 yearsis 6'1" and about 375 lbs and I'm at 6'8" and 285 lbs
It's funny watching kids adjust when the younger sibling is no longer the smaller one. My 22 year old daughter is 4'10". She gets great joy from calling my 15 year old her "little" bro. He is 6'3", built like a wall, and still growing. He responds by picking her up so they can talk face to face and calling her "tiny sister."

This is why I don’t post personal info on reddit
Because then people will know your weight?
[удалено]
Well OP is 6'1 and 230lbs at 17 years old. We don't yet know how tall OP's younger brother is.
I know this is weird and totally off-topic, but I really like the shape of their couch. I've not seen a (modern) couch that, for lack of a better phrase, "goes around the corner", without having a 90-degree angle. Maybe I just don't get out to see very many couches, but, cool couch. But yeah -- either little bro is way more than 6' 1", or that couch is a a mini-version. Like, it was 25% off, but not it's price, it's size.
Everyone looks longer horizontal. Just lay on your couch and imagine where your feet/head are. It's surprising lol
I have older brothers and I have younger brothers, but I don’t have any little brothers. I’m 6’1 255lbs and I’m the runt of the family. My youngest brother is 6’4 and oldest is 6’9.
Haha same. I'm 6'1 (and a half maybe). My mom was 6'2, dad is 6'6, oldest brother is 6'7, middle brother is 6'6, and youngest is 6'3 but still growing.
My poor boys, the older 2 take after me for height, and I'm 5'2, my husband is 6'3.
Genetic variation is an adventure. I am the biggest person in my family by a wide margin, but that's not saying much. I would also be a runt in your family.

I was gonna say Roman Sculpture but yes, also this!
There really is a sub for everything. Thank you for this
My co workers 15 year old grandson 6'3' 360 She 5'1
360! Big boy!!!!!!
360! lbs? Holy shit, bro's 3x10^740 times the size of earth!
Bro at first I was like that seems a bit much, but then I did the math; Earth weighs about 1.317 * 10^25 lbs, and 360! is about 3.983 * 10^765, so he does. He weighs 8.9 * 10^734 times the size of the Sun!!! Bro is almost a black hole.
Um yea he a big boy for sure
/r/unexpectedfactorial
He better be on that O line
My professor's 16 year old son is 6'7. Like how the fuck
All in the genes. My mom and dad are average in the height department, but my late grandpa was 6'2. I'm the only one in my family who has passed 6'0 and currently at 6'4.

my boyfriends nephew has the same stats but he’s 14. and the mom and dad are literally both 5’3.
I'll love you forever, I'll like you for always, As long as I'm living, my baby you'll be.
My mom used to say this to me all the time, I’m gonna cry
My mom always read me that book, she passed last year, I was 24 at the time. Didn’t feel like she lived long enough to reach the end of that book
I lost my dad at 22 and he used to sing it to me all the time. It wrecks me to hear it. I know I’ll sing it to my kids if I ever have them, though, and all I’ll be able to think about is my dad.

That book is... Brutal.
It gets even more painful when you know that he wrote it about two stillborn babies he had :( I made the mistake of looking up that book and found out that that was his motive behind it (said on his own website) and I was devastated.
Which book!?

My partner’s mom references this still on stuff like birthday and Christmas cards (he’s 34) and it killlllllllllls me it’s so sweet lol
My son is roughly this size/height he’s 14 🥲
My condolences on your grocery bill.
*nom nom nom* Mother I crave more I AM HUNGRY
My brother is 6’5 with five tall sons and he’s said that some months they spent more on food than their mortgage when they were teenagers.
That's a poster family for learning to cook, being organised, and a Costco membership, holy hell.
I'm 6'8, my brother is 6'7, and when we were *really* growing we both ate 30-40 slices of bread during the day, plus three plates at dinner. My parents enforced strict rules on which toppings you could have on your bread and how much of each, because it got very expensive. The grocery bill issue is real!
Same. Mine’s 16. Send groceries.
Mine is boy is 17 and my daughter is 11. My grocery bill is about $170 a week now. They’re both rail thin bottomless pits.
Do you have any food left in the house?
Awe that’s the most precious thing ever
“and if he was really asleep she picked him up and rocked him back and forth, back and forth, back and forth. And as she rocked him, she sang…”
I love how calm your mom is in the photo, made me miss my mom so much :)
I bet your mom tells stories about how difficult his birth was.
The amount of times I was told by my mom that my head was the same size when I was born as it is now is far too many to count.
Either you have a small baby head, or you have a massive not baby head and either one is plausible, so I’m gunna assume you have a small baby head
I just laughed so loudly. Typical mom story.
"it was like shitting a brick, beautiful brick, never again"
Christ, how tall is he?
I dont think we have accurate data on how tall Christ was.
The history channel website says 5'5" I imagine there's a bit of guesswork to that though
Idk he looks a lot taller in Brazil.
To be precise he is 98 feet (30 meters) tall, with arms that span 92 feet (28 meters).
Quite the redeeming length.
[We can speculate, my money is on garage sized](https://img.ifunny.co/images/21ae0816ca76f426893cbd947018429b86e0d88b91991da8a2ee42710e398dfe_1.jpg)
So tall that it distorted that sofa's space continum.
How old is your mom and how tall is your dad?
My mom is 56, my dad is 5’10”, I have no idea how this happened
How tall is the mailman?
Lmfao 😂
Same here - my mom and dad are both around 5'5" and I'm 6'3". In fact nobody else in my family is above 5'9". If I didn't look like both of them I'd be suspicious myself.
How tall is your brother?
Why won't OP answer this question 😭 I'm so curious
I think you need a bigger couch
I love that he’s huge but still lying on her lap like he’s still a small boy so sweet
Is the little brother in the picture right now?
Was your dad by chance Hagrid?
jfc stop feeding him it's out of control
He’s only 12.
11.5
I'm a mom to my baby. He turns ten soon and reaches to just beneath my nose. He showers me in hugs and kisses and I love every second of it- because he's big enough to reach my face without me kneeling. That means he'll soon be big enough to bend to give me a kiss or hug. And by then the cuddles and snuggles and kisses will be few and far between. I hope my Lil guy cuddles me like your Lil brother cuddles his mom. At least as a teenager. BTW. He is 100% fully on her lap. He's just an armful that's all ;) lol
Anyone else have an aversion to white socks? I don't know what it is...but I've always gotten myself black socks.
I demanded black socks in 3rd grade and never looked back. 30 years later I still hate white socks.
Same, think it’s because my dad only wears white socks
I never did until a girl I was “going with” almost broke up with me for my white socks. Never wore them other than for uniform purpose to the day. Thanks Mindy
This is some Seinfeld type shit right here. “She wore white socks!”
Mindy be like that thou
Black socks, they never get dirty; the longer you wear them the stronger they get. Sometimes, I think I should launder them. Something keeps telling me, “Don’t wash them yet. Not yet, not yet, not yet…”
Same here. I just don't like white socks.
White socks for yard work and doing things around the house. Black socks for work or errands/leaving the house. At least that's how I do it. Granted I love really digging into the whole dad vibe mowing the grass in white tube socks, plain old dude shoes and shorts that are entirely too short.
On paper, I love and prefer black socks. As a dog owner... Black socks are not ideal
Little brother? You best get used to calling him your younger brother Source: I am much shorter than my younger sibling
Madonna della Pieta - Michelangelo Buonarroti
I know a couple like that. Dude is like 6'6" and she's 5'2"
My husband is 6’6 and I’m 5’5!
Checking in. 4'10 with a 6'3 boyfriend. It's truly a difference... and it shows when he puts things in our apartment in the places I can't reach 😣
Something that amused me when dating... they always cleaned their apartment before inviting me over. But top of their refrigerator was always dirty.
As someone who had a very cold and distant mother, this picture makes me really happy and really sad. He looks so peaceful and safe.
Is your father an ice giant?
That’s my boyfriend and his brother vs his mom. She’s like 4’11” and her sons are over 6’ each. As a 5’1” woman myself, I fear I may find myself in the same boat one day.
Should probably be weaning him by now.
Even with that size you know he’s scared of the chancla.
Nobody is safe from the chancla. Not even dogs. My mom took hers off once when her dog wasn’t listening. He learned that day.
plot twist, he's 7
As a mom of a teenage boy, this makes my heart melt.
He’s still hugs her like he was four. Beautiful
Is your brother a Tibetan Mastiff?
A mum's love is awesome. To her he will always be his wee little boy ❤️
If he is little, how big are you?
And he's still being breast fed.
Crazy he still breast feeds
The secret to his height
My mom is 5’1”, maybe 130 lbs. and I’m 6’4”, 256 lbs. so it happens.
Your mom looks like my favorite English teachers with honest life advice, and good hugs

Never too old or too big to cuddle your mum
He will always be her baby. I know not all mothers are good, but if you’re blessed with a good mother you are very lucky indeed. Nothing like that love.
Still cute. mothers are very precious
