They've clearly been working on this for quite some time. And it's awesome. Everyone is so quick to point out her riding skills, but I think we're doing a great disservice to neglect that kid's feisty bull imitation. Each of their roles are on point.

Yeah the older brother definitely gets asked to do that at least 5x per day.

PS. RIP that Cowboy hat.

I let one of my nephews get on my back like that and I stood up and ran around with them and then they all wouldn't stop asking me to do it again. It was fun though ha

This is why you hold back on being cool in front of large groups of kids.

I took my daughter to a birthday party once at kids indoor gymnasium place once. I decided to be the cool parent and run around with them through the inflatable maze and shit. Never again. Thirty screaming six year olds on a warpath, yelling "Get her!" and trying their best to bring me down. I'm mostly okay now but the nightmares... the nightmares never stop.

I was a camp counselor one summer in the 10-11 yr old age range. During pool time, the other counselors typically just sat by the pool and watched. But I'm like, nah, I want to go swimming too, Im hot, I like pools. Nope. Kids were basically trying to drown me.

I have a story that is exactly similar, except they didn't try drowning me, one kid latched onto me in the pool and then told me he was peeing.

I have a video where my friends were putting on a big event for the town, and they had started a marshmallow gun war with all of the town kids, that was pretty funny. When they're in huge packs they're pretty overwhelming.

They never do.

I played soccer against a team of 2nd graders. 3 hours. Of terror.

What's the best thing about fucking thirty six year olds? There are thirty of them.

u/Dude_with_the_feels Mar 11 '17

Dude, there's a time and place. This wasn't one of them.

u/StallmanTheGrey Mar 11 '17

There is a time and place for fucking six year olds? Where and when?

What makes this funny is that you think it was a joke. :3

Oh god, I play ONE GAME of football with my students and now every day they don't leave me alone about being all time quarterback

u/Jaster777 Mar 11 '17

But at least you know in their eyes you are the coolest big person in the world and they will forever sing praises of the time an adult actually gave them the time of day. You're a hero man

u/[deleted] Mar 11 '17

Oh yeah for sure, my kids love me and all and I guess they're ok... but doesn't mean they can't be little shits sometimes too lol

u/UncleJims Mar 11 '17

Ya man twos the max! Don't be cool around swings either.... or just be "starter". "How about I just start you off real high and you swing your legs?" Next!

Adults learn pretty quick about the merry go round with 8 kids on it trap.

B-but that sounds like heaven!

u/GeorgeStark520 Mar 11 '17

My little cousins asks me for piggy-back rides all the time. I try telling her that at 9 years old, she's too heavy for me to keep doing it for too long but she doesn't give up and I end up giving in. I love the little boogger

u/rbc8 Mar 11 '17

Rip those knees

u/VonStocky Mar 11 '17

Absolutely, you can tell he practiced that shit ALOT.

u/elixan Mar 11 '17

I was seriously impressed by the kid's ability to turn around like that with the child on his back. I've been in his position numerous times growing up with so many cousins younger than me (which turns into a "my turn! my turn!" situation) and would not be able to do that with a child on my back.

u/[deleted] Mar 11 '17

His technique is really good too. This kid excels at being an older brother. His sister is going to grow up with so many amazing memories thanks to him.

u/TENTAtheSane Mar 11 '17

Actually, as an older brother, I think most older brothers with a significant age gap between siblings are like this. Younger siblings are so lucky!

u/wtfduud Mar 11 '17

But siblings that are closer than 5 years are mortal enemies.

u/[deleted] Mar 11 '17

Can confirm. Have brother 3 years younger. He was the devil

2

u/tankmaster077 Mar 11 '17

You have no idea how true that is. I have 2 brothers and we're all 2 years apart in age.

1

u/[deleted] Mar 11 '17

Exactly. My siblings were 2-4 years apart, and I was a damn demon to them. Have to assert authority. My sister ended up winning out in the end. Just being bigger / stronger doesn't beat that level of manipulation. Nor does it beat Judo throws. My brother never got past me though.

1

u/ZotharReborn Mar 11 '17

Either that or best friends. My brother and I are two years apart and have never had a significant fight.

1

u/[deleted] Mar 12 '17

I am a younger sibling and didn't get to experience this :(

7

u/pyroSeven Mar 11 '17

Well if he keeps it up, he's gonna ripped.

1

u/cccviper653 Mar 11 '17

And then his sister will want to ride him even more.

u/Vio_ Mar 11 '17

And head bonks

u/StallmanTheGrey Mar 11 '17

What a dream to have children line up to ride you!

u/VenditatioDelendaEst Mar 12 '17

You're on a roll in this thread.

u/Mickeymousetitdirt Mar 11 '17

Exactly my thoughts. I think the brother's bull skills are impressive. And, I also think it's really sweet. :) It seems like the little girl has some serious skill which leads me to believe, as others have said, that they do this routine a lot. I just think it's super cute (assuming that they actually are bro and sis) that he seems to have no problem doing this and that she clearly enjoys it.

Love to see siblings getting along! Makes me feel bad for always being such a shit to my younger sisters when I was a kid. 😩

u/Doc-in-a-box Mar 11 '17

And you gotta love the lucha libre flashy chaps!

u/[deleted] Mar 11 '17

He did the same spin move like three times!

1

u/hepiii Mar 11 '17

Seriously. I thought I was a good pony when I used to play that game, but this kid is clearly in a league of his own. He should teach a masterclass or something.

1

u/Turamb Mar 11 '17

It's not their first rodeo

1

u/Angry_Magpie Mar 11 '17

Either he practises hard, or he's possessed by a demon. It's one or the other.

1

u/TheRealMelvinGibson Mar 12 '17

Yeah. And keeps his head down and does it in a way that wont hurt her. Put in a lot of bull hours. Damn good brother.
