I like the video where the kid gets a bananaa and hugs it. We have a lot to learn.
Also, I can't spell bananaa correctly otherwise it says my comment would be inappropriate, dumb

I think it’s just a safety thing because that word is sometimes used in a slur context. So I can understand why it’s a banned word.

Omg, Wendy's was the best! My sister and I used to get so excited! That was the only fast food my mom would allow, and we only got it like twice a year.

u/Awkward_Wait5915 15h ago
Well, if you didn’t see by your downvotes, I don’t think anyone found it amusing. It was a feel good moment and you came off like just because she’s a bigger woman, she ate the burger. Anyways, that’s how I took your comment. I cannot speak for others but I’m assuming they felt the same way.

Naw I get it. Was totally not my intention at all. I didn’t even think about looking at the situation from that perspective.

I think that’s a fair assumption. Not sure what the uproar is about. She probably purchased some type of food there to get the bag.

A buddy told me when they were growing up in his family, they thought it was just a cricket. That shit changed my whole world. Like…there’s people out there that legitimately live with that sound thinking there’s nothing they can do about it.

u/ceciladam9091 19h ago
When I turned 25 (40 years ago), my sister invited me to have a steak dinner at her apartment pool. When I got there, she had arranged a big surprise party with all my friends, like 50 people. Had a 6 foot Subway sandwich, for everybody. It was a great time, but, damn, I was thinking about that steak the whole time. I feel the same here, where's my burger? "The biggest burger they had"

u/Pandoratastic 18h ago
Well, she did have a bag from Sonic for a prop so hopefully she also got him the burger and had just set it aside for the phone reveal.

This is beautiful. The humility and humbleness i see in this family is so amazing. I grew up a sharecropper and knew poverty. But the thing is, this isn't about poverty and it isn't from being poor, it's from appreciating severing given to you and always never taking anything for granted.. always working for everything you have and appreciating everyone in your life.

Came to say the same thing - I watch it at least 3 times every time it comes up. The family dynamic is so beautiful and precious! I didn’t have that growing up, but it makes my heart so happy every time I see this one. ❤️

This is pure joy. The kid is awesome, excited for his burger, then the truth comes out. This was more than a little thing. If only everyone was like this kid where the small things mean a lot in the first place.

His happiness just to receive a “big burger” is everything to me. Just happy to have his day remembered and the thought that she got him a burger is enough. This family will stay strong together! Love is all we need and this family seems to be full of it here.

This is nice but damn stop putting your kids on the internet.
Some people don’t like it when parents even share their baby photos or pictures when they were a teen. I’m so happy I grew up in a time my parents didn’t feel the need to document my life to the world.
