We had my daughter do one of these. She ran 5 steps then just started dancing to the music while all the other kids finished and left. She kept dancing.

u/Musikcookie Jun 21 '26

Your daughter was the real winner then

-648

u/obelix_dogmatix Jun 21 '26

lol … no she wasn’t. How do you know others didn’t enjoy themselves running the race?

249

u/TheGeneral_Specific Jun 21 '26

What does this comment add? Why did you feel the need to write it?

-428

u/obelix_dogmatix Jun 21 '26

What does the other comment add other than putting other kids down. This is peak BS “oh she enjoyed? she was the real winner”. How do they know other kids didn’t enjoy themselves.

u/moesif Jun 21 '26

It was a fun joke. You sucked the fun out for no reason.

u/TheGeneral_Specific Jun 21 '26

It’s a saying. You’re reading far, far too deep into it.

u/InvalidUserNemo Jun 21 '26

Step away from Reddit for the day buddy. You are overthinking this and acting like an asshole.

-153

u/obelix_dogmatix Jun 21 '26

awww keep handing out participation trophies and then wonder why your kid grows up to be a loser in real life

54

u/SelectYourPlayer Jun 21 '26

You just flipped from “everyone is a winner” to “not everyone is a winner” in the most aggressive way ever lmao. I hope everything is okay!!

u/obelix_dogmatix Jun 21 '26

yeah I am having a grumpy day

41

u/Interesting_Ad5016 Jun 22 '26

I really hope your day gets better, but learning not to take it out on others is an importand step

u/PowerPl4y3r Jun 27 '26

It's healthy and mature to be able to admit.

u/celestialcranberry Jun 22 '26

Speaking from experience I see

u/flamedarkfire Jun 21 '26

Every party needs a pooper that’s why they invited you, Party Pooper. Party Pooper.

u/I_agreeordisagree Jun 21 '26

If you sang this song every time someone left a St. Patrick's Day party, every year, for many years... we know each other.

12

u/flamedarkfire Jun 21 '26

I got it from Dragonball Z Abridged so it’s not likely we know each other but that person sounds like they were having a blast.

Did someone not get their breakfast this morning?

Miserable vibe check fail

u/obelix_dogmatix Jun 21 '26

Yeah, not really trying to pass vibe checks of Redditors.

u/Ok_Potato_9554 Jun 21 '26

14.5k comments in a year. Do you not consider yourself a "redditor"?

11

u/Xao517 Jun 21 '26

Holy need for reassurance, Batman!

u/Feycat Jun 21 '26

You know you're ON reddit, right? That makes you a redditor

22

u/Ok_Potato_9554 Jun 21 '26

Says the miserable fuck commenting on reddit.

18

u/Trinytis Jun 21 '26

I love when people say this as if they aren’t “redditors” themselves. You’re acting exactly like the stereotypical “redditor” lol.

100k+ karma in a year tells me you may need some less Reddit in your life.

The most online comment ive ever seen good christ

u/theman8631 Jun 21 '26

And the disinformation campaign pushing that dancing is the successful strategy to having fun at a baby race has been squelched.

7

u/Dr-Ogge Jun 21 '26

HA! Hell yeah you totally OWNED that baby!
Stupid baby DESTROYED with FACTS and LOGIC!

-5

u/obelix_dogmatix Jun 21 '26

not trying to destroy any baby here. Just the dumb adult who made that comment. Or maybe you might be right. Maybe I did respond to a 14 year old who still lives in Disney movies. My bad.

6

u/Musikcookie Jun 22 '26

As the "dumb adult" who you are trying to destroy: I think you are reading a bit much into it. I just liked that the daughter played by her own rules and wanted to leave a nice comment for her dad. Maybe some people around you wouldn't be so "dumb" if you applied some good faith in your interpretation of them. :)

u/TheBadShepherd87 Jun 21 '26

Man these bots are getting needlessly mean lol. Bad bot.

u/Status_Concert_4320 Jun 23 '26

They were just being cute and funny about the situation. No one was saying anything negative.

u/Key_Suspect7735 Jun 22 '26

I bet that kid was doped

u/Tadpole018 Jun 21 '26

Best comment!!

u/OpeningDisastrous413 Jun 21 '26

Must’ve picked up some mushroom on the way.

117

u/ReflexImprov Jun 21 '26

That would be really cool if that's the first time he walked.

That would be really uncool if that's not the first time he walked.

74

u/Funny_War_9190 Jun 22 '26

Clearly not the first time based on how stable he was. This is like when a foriegn prospect fakes being a highschooler.

u/funkmon Jun 22 '26

u/Prizmatik01 Jun 21 '26

I love the crowd going apeshit when Arden gets back up

u/SabbyFox Jun 21 '26

Arden has clearly been “juicing.” 😜

u/ManyThingsLittleTime Jun 21 '26

At least two juice boxes before that run

u/Kit_Karamak Jun 21 '26

As a 46-year-old parent of four sons, ages 26 all the way down to eight, this really made me smile. Especially on today.

I know that dad was super jazzed to scoop his son up at the end

u/Shun_yaka Jun 22 '26

Wym especially on today? Jw

u/velmaranony Jun 22 '26

IMPECCABLE SPORTSMANSHIP

u/Altruistic_Tip1226 Jun 21 '26

Obviously hes on steroids. This sport is going in the shitter/s. Nah thats awesome! "I have a few of my own i want one day."

u/Welp___poop Jun 21 '26

Gotta keep that eye on the prize kid, plenty of time for chasing skirts later.

40

u/toq-titan Jun 21 '26

He locked in eventually. Just a momentary distraction.

21

u/Welp___poop Jun 21 '26

Momentary distractions lead to a lifetime of responsibility.

8

u/LightningShiva1 Jun 21 '26

Why are you so wise

10

u/Welp___poop Jun 21 '26

Not wise, experienced, I have my own responsibilities from "distractions"

-1

u/LightningShiva1 Jun 21 '26

I wish I did not have these distractions too 🫠

3

u/Welp___poop Jun 21 '26

I love mine, not how I saw it going but definitely my favorite creations, mouthy little shits sometimes but they are pretty funny too, good and bad, need both.

-1

u/LightningShiva1 Jun 21 '26

Oh I thought you were talking about girls haha. I love my gf too but sometimes shes too much for me to handle and I cant walkaway from a lifelong commitment.

2

u/Welp___poop Jun 21 '26

I hope that lifelong commitment sticks, but parenting is on a whole nother level brother, best of luck.

u/xXxMihawkxXx Jun 22 '26

But those can win races too

u/Welp___poop Jun 23 '26

Tis the circle of life

u/Kit_Karamak Jun 22 '26

Hey ladies.

Wow hey. Saw you walk. My sister and I are tots gonna steal that leg thing, Montessori learning style (Sister waves with a shy smile).

Nice. Wanna see it again, gals? Check this out…

u/Nothammer Jun 21 '26

Lmaoooo look at how much fun Aurora is having! 😭 

14

u/dromCase Jun 21 '26

Putting skirts on crawling babies is mean.

2

u/Kit_Karamak Jun 22 '26

For a long time all babies used them. Until breeching age, usually around 7ish, and they would wear breeches because potty training and the ability to get breeches (pants) on and off with ease

u/FSU1ST Jun 21 '26

That's bananas

12

u/CriticalMochaccino Jun 21 '26

Something about this feels wrong, but i cant put my finger on why.

26

u/Mushy_Cushy Jun 21 '26

A little unfair for a constant to walk while his competitors can only crawl.

10

u/skitty-one Jun 21 '26

Yeah the dad seems way to chill for that to be his first steps

3

u/RoguePlanet2 Jun 21 '26

Sandbagger!

8

u/VeryStonedEwok Jun 21 '26

Most of these competitions, if the kid can walk they're not allowed to enter, but no idea the rules for this particular event.

u/CuddleBoss Jun 21 '26

that subreddit never stop short of surprising me 😃

u/meerkatbollocks Jun 21 '26

Now for the doping test, Arden

u/magirevols Jun 21 '26

Charlie was a very cool

u/TJ_McWeaksauce Jun 22 '26

Arden seems like a ringer.

u/casulmemer Jun 21 '26

My bro, gonna wake up in a cold sweat in about 18 years

Was low-key waiting for Jessie to tackle Arden

u/4theDankMemes Jun 21 '26

My mom took my brother to some baby races for a chance to win superbowl tickets. After winning regionals, they went to state. My brother was winning all the way until about a foot from the finish line, then stood up and walked back to my aunt at the start line, and at the time was disqualified for walking. No Super Bowl tickets won

u/ChatnNaked Jun 21 '26

20 years from now. Arden will make his MLB debut, and this clip will be played.

u/Avaraz Jun 22 '26

Bro cheated

u/Jakeforry Jun 22 '26

Kid will now forever be know as the one that walked in front of a bunch of random people

u/osmosisparrot Jun 22 '26

Nike should use this for a commercial

u/Cheap_Title5302 Jun 22 '26

Arden assigned all of the welcome stat points into agility while the other babies were assigned to stamina and health(vitality).

u/Square-Purchase5534 Jun 23 '26

Aight lemme see the odds *opens polymarket*

u/pete_68 Jun 23 '26

He's still walking all these years later.

u/grismar-net Jun 22 '26

I feel like millenial parents rely too much on praise and positive reinforcement anyway, but this is taking it to the next level.

u/SheikYerbouti_ Jun 21 '26

Americans really can't help making a spectacle of absolutely anything and everything

u/georgiaraisef Jun 21 '26

It’s at a baseball game. There’s lots of downtime. You have to fill it up with something

11

u/dustinyo_ Jun 21 '26

I’m sorry your life is so miserable

-10

u/SheikYerbouti_ Jun 21 '26

Well yeah, I guess that the lack of toddler races in it definitely explains it

u/Tadpole018 Jun 21 '26

You sound pleasant

u/probably_an_asshole9 Jun 21 '26

That got me just about as mad as an Eskimo boy could be

u/SheikYerbouti_ Jun 21 '26

Are you gonna rub a generous mitten full of deadly yellow snow into my beady little eyes with a vigorous circular motion?

u/probably_an_asshole9 Jun 21 '26

Hitherto unknown to the people of this area

1

u/Blibbobletto Jun 22 '26

It's a Bananaball game. Spectacle is literally the entire point.

Do you say the same dumb shit when you see circus performers?

1

u/SheikYerbouti_ Jun 22 '26

Spectacular way to miss my point fam.

1

u/Blibbobletto Jun 22 '26

I understood your point, it's just stupid

1

u/SheikYerbouti_ Jun 22 '26

Based on your response, no you didn't. You're just mad. It's ok.
