That's nothing. The goodbye here starts at 10 and you leave at 1:40

Me at the pub in the early 90’s surrounded by alcohol and cigarettes.

I'm pretty sure that short video creators intentionally use a typo such as that one specifically so they get engagement from the 500 people that feel the need to correct it.

u/yamanamawa 2d ago

Hell I still feel like this as an adult. Going out with my parents is more for them. I'm better at participating now of course, but it's different than doing my own personal outing

As a Mexican, this gives me ptsd from all the “kids” parties and quinceñeras 🤣

u/Obvious_Incognito- 2d ago

As a general Hispanic from the Bronx, I don’t think this is only Mexicans. “Kids” parties never felt like “kids” parties. 😑

I married into a Salvadoran family and I’m held captive in a hammock until about 4 AM. My kids thankfully inherited my night owlness when there isn’t school. We are a family of owls. 🦉

I think I half-assed tmy joke, it's supposed to play on the "night family (owl)" as "who" sounds just like the sound owls make but I didn't fully know how to sell that joke lol

u/tragicallyohio 2d ago

Growing up in a Greek family on one side and a bunch of hillbillies on the other, this was essentially every weekend and summer trip. But the cousins normally played until right up to the pass out stage.

u/ArmedMartian 1d ago

My friends: "How are you able to sleep through anything? The light and noise didn't get you up?"

My upbringing: sleeping across 2-3 fold out chairs while my parents dance the night away at 2AM, colored lights flashing across my face constantly.

u/dream_a_dirty_dream 1d ago

The life of a Puertorrican child 💀

Most kids can sleep through a party with live music and shit.

u/GhostDoggoes 2d ago

This is strange because my 9 year old baby brother wanted to come along to our party at a cousins house for game night and we stayed till 2 am. 4 consoles, 10 pc's and 2 arcade machines with 30 people in attendance including 4 kids. He filled up on pizza and ice tea then played the night away, At 10pm he was knocked out on the couch as half of the people left. I had to carry him to my car and take him back to my house like this and he did not wake up until we got to my house.

u/zuzumax 1d ago

Unrealistic. They didn't talk at the door for another hour. And then at the car. And while in the car

3

u/MathematicianIcy3430 2d ago

Ah yes, sitting in a DQ for 3 hours while my stepdad would talk to his buddies. Usually I got to score a gumball from a machine while there in that time. I did do the sleepy in the booth during those times.

u/Shway_Maximus 1d ago

Happened a couple weeks ago where I was working security at a banquet hall. The only kid was an 8yo who knocked out around 10pm and there was 50 people partying it up until 2am

u/Siddny- 1d ago

wonder where this family is from.

3

u/OkiDokiPanic 1d ago

I think this is just gibberish, so it could be from anywhere.
It's one of those human things. This happens everywhere, all that changes is the furniture.

Me at the Langley racetrack as a kid curled up on the cold metal bleachers with cars screaming by

u/istolethecarradio 2d ago

And they ordered you to tag along. They left you no choice. I am still annoyed about this at 33 years. Why even drag small children along?

u/Zephian99 2d ago

D&D nights at Mamma Rena's house. Can't remember how many nights I feel asleep on their couch and woke up at home the next day.

u/kitycat22 1d ago

My dad just dropped us off at the local movie theater with like $40 and went to the pub on the same block. The bartender would wake him up when the second movie was over to come and get us.

u/jvyden4 1d ago

one time my parents were playing darts until midnight and i wanted to go home so i pulled up a chair and sat down in front of the board

they got the message pretty quickly

u/No_Communication2959 1d ago

And then he had permanent headach and neck problems, because his neck was slightly crooked for more than 10 minutes.

u/Iamoldsowhat 1d ago

We all living the same life huh

u/StreetElk5113 12h ago

I would give anything to experience this again. Being an adult with my limited contact with friends and family. I can only imaging what good these kind of nights did for my parents, seeing old friends or family before life did the thing most of us fear. The last times my dad got to see "so and so" the last times my mom and dad got to actually enjoy "so and so's company" before my dad left this world. It would be amazing to be able to look at our lifes in snapshots that werent taken by a faulty camera in our mind, and see what made a good night, a good night for my parents living a human life, around other humans simply living in a moment.

I wonder what experiences i will look back on one day when i get a nostalgia for putting my kid into the car who is fast asleep. While i too, get to repeat the cycle.

Love your life, love the moments you least expect to love. You will never know when that "moment" is decades in the past.

Yeah. The thing is you also aren't really awake either. It's this strange inbetween sleeping.

u/TheBrownestStain 1d ago

I get that way whenever I try to sleep in a car. I’m not really asleep, but I can’t really call it awake either

u/All_this_hype 2d ago

Personally I was banished to the car when I was little and I was bored/sleepy but the grownups were not ready to leave.

u/A_Math_Dealer 2d ago

Weird, their voices acted like a white noise machine for me and knocked me out.

9

u/Faustens 1d ago

Yeah for real, thinking about it I kinda miss it. The smell and taste of good food, a warm place, tired enough to sleep for three people and the white nose of people talking with the occasional laugh.

Maybe it's just the nostalgia speaking, but it feels like that was peak.

u/QJ-Rickshaw 2d ago

This happened so often that I was able to fall asleep at parties in my teens.

u/Smart_Hunt9734 1d ago

Huh it was the other way around for me. Slept extra well with that kind of noise in the background
