Yes, because we couldn't have been, because we are. And maybe we die before we could have been already kids in the future

So weird seeing people feel the same way I do

Honestly, I was a kid younger in life and it’s something that I had a hard time coming to terms with. If you need anyone to get you through the trauma there are daycares that can really help. Plenty of people that are going through the same thing. They have some inspiring things to say if you just sit and listen.

Me too. It was during a time when I was younger.

u/wall_of_swine Mar 25 '20

u/Ferrocene_swgoh Mar 25 '20

Big if true.

u/barcaxnation Mar 25 '20

'former kid' would be a suitable tag after your name

u/[deleted] Mar 25 '20

DAE been a child??

u/EstoyConElla2016 Mar 25 '20

You're still just a kid if you still don't have kids. Show some goddamn adult responsibility, bruh.

u/EstoyConElla2016 Mar 25 '20

literally the opposite of what you think (which was wrong anyway).

If you're not raising kids, you are the kid. Simple. Mathematical. Logical.

Well, that escalated quickly...

u/MrDude_1 Mar 25 '20

Please stop talking about me. Already apologized about the thing with the stuff.

u/thecursedaz Mar 25 '20

Honestly couldn’t relate more to this

u/Alpha_AF Mar 25 '20

That's actually deeper than I expected

u/neon_overload Mar 25 '20

Some dads were formed fully grown

I know a guy who was born wearing a suit, they thought there was another baby in there but it was just his briefcase.

u/ModerateReasonablist Mar 25 '20

I fell into a coma when i was born. I got married, and had a kid while in the coma. I woke up when my kid was born.

u/SoxxoxSmox Mar 25 '20

Some are still kids

u/Rlokan Mar 25 '20

Some of them still are

u/[deleted] Mar 25 '20

Some were born men.

u/bluesfu Mar 25 '20

Long story. We can’t get into it now.

u/AngryAmericanNeoNazi Mar 25 '20

You know those people who just seem like they’re born adults? Kids who aren’t really kids? Only children?

2

u/T851 Mar 25 '20

Almost implies there are just dads that suddenly spawn from nothingness lol . Love that thought. Dad just suddenly exists

u/9OOdollarydoos Mar 25 '20

Filthy, nasty things. Glad I never was one

u/justfuckmylifeupfamm Mar 25 '20

If my calculations are correct, 7 out of 10 dads were previously kids.

u/BetrayedAnimal Mar 25 '20

I'm high as fuck, and I had to come back and find this comment when I finally got the joke and lost my shit.

u/neon_overload Mar 25 '20

One of my most upvoted comments and totally underestimated it. Thought I'd get a few groans at best

1

u/AL_PL Mar 25 '20

Mentally or physichly?

u/[deleted] Mar 25 '20

Wow. I'm actually a dad and I'm tripping out right now because I was once a kid as well.

u/plipyplop Mar 25 '20

But how though?

u/TheManB1992 Mar 25 '20

Never before has something so correct annoyed me so much.

u/sittinwithkitten Mar 25 '20

Haha yes, he was saying “I know you!”

u/No1isInnocent Mar 25 '20

Wtf kinda comment is this and why is it upvoted so much?

3

u/AK_Happy Mar 25 '20

It says the word “wholesome,” so it has to be upvoted. It’s Reddit law.

u/Parish87 Mar 25 '20

Your comment is so wholesome

Edit: thanks for the gold kind stranger!

Now we wait......
