The little curly haired cousin that I remember being like two feet tall just bought his first house.
I don’t even have a house, so unfair.
I have a childhood friend who legitimately inherited a house from a relative they didn’t even know about. I admit to being kind of jealous but to their credit they admit its a totally unfair stroke of luck.
Finical stability and wealth is very luck based in the US.
I’d say it’s pretty true in the rest of the world as well unfortunately. At least wealth.
True.
You enter the world and it’s the first roll of the dice.
At least in the US it’s possible to get a re-roll of the luck dice. In places with a rigid caste system you’re stuck.
You get a re-roll but with the same shit dice
Some people get handed 20 sided die with a 21 on each side, and some of us get handed a set -10 thru 10.
You get a reroll but we don’t all get the same dice.
I love this effect, it makes me feel like a time traveler
or old
Being old just means you’ve traveled through more time
Yep. Haven’t seen a few of them in some years and they look like people now, it’s wild lol
I have little cousins who attend the annual holiday gathering and greet their elders with “do you remember me?”
like no i dont fkn member u shit
I don’t remember any of my relatives who weren’t chosen by me, didn’t have their blueprints partially provided by me, and weren’t a major part of my childhood.
There was a short time where my baby cousins and I connected on video games each Christmas but now they show up with their partners and are too cool to hang out.
Guy who used to be my baby cousin who now has a mustache and cut his long hair told me he was worried about my Dad because he did exactly this and vamping with “hey, fella! hey buddy, how you been?” until he figured it out.
When we moved to Florida, my friend’s new kid was stumbling around learning to walk in a playpen. Fast forward, “Who the fuck is this 6’-tall monstrosity?!”
His older brother was 5 when I met him. Fast forward, “So, uh, you’re some kind of full-grown man now, somehow?”
Got my kids for Christmas today. My 12-yo daughter, 13 next month, is taller than my wife. I, uh, wut?
Stop talking nonsense. My kids are all still little and I am not old. No idea why my back is aching, some other young person (like me) must have hit me.
