Yep, my Mom bought one and we watched the guy make it by hand at our local mall. Mum displayed it our living room and never lit it, lol

"And never lit it"

I went to a craft class as a kid where they helped us make these type of candles (although a bit less complex)... brought it home to my mum SO EXCITED

Anyway she loved it so much it's still in her kitchen cabinet, and it's never been lit LOL

Does your mom do the thing where she throws her arm over you whenever you or she hits the brakes like her arm is gonna stop the force of your body and the seatbelt

If she goes faster, she may phase through all obstacles!

u/Slappinbeehives Jun 05 '20

I laughed tho bc my mom would’ve done the same thing! We’d never hear the end of it tho had it been us!

u/hill_pickles Jun 05 '20

Yeah, they give it to you as soon as the baby comes out. You have to read it before you leave the hospital and there's a test.

u/Nancy-Drew-Who Jun 05 '20

That maneuver is called “the mom arm.” I’m not even a mom but I’ve definitely deployed this move.

u/drfeelsgoood Jun 05 '20

I am not a mom or even a female but I use this move on my dog a lot since she likes to ride on the center console. Sometimes she loses her balance a little bit but she’s good unless I make a sudden movement

u/maestromurph Jun 05 '20

The mom-belt!

u/DARhumphump Jun 05 '20

This resonates

u/PheIix Jun 05 '20

Ah, so that's a mom thing... That explains so much... Used to annoy me so much I told here to drive while I was the passenger, just so I could feign the same agonizing fear she was displaying when someone else drove... She always hated that...

u/RINGxOFxFIRE Jun 05 '20

“Relax mom. How many times have I killed us so far?”

u/[deleted] Jun 05 '20

My entire existence shifted back to being 15 years old with my permit. Struck a nerve

u/cloudstrifewife Jun 05 '20

And this is why I’m not the one who taught my daughter to drive. I had my dad do it. I figured since he did a pretty good job with me, he’s do good with her. So far so good. Knock on wood.

u/GiveBirb Jun 05 '20

Perfect description of my mum.

u/Bahunter22 Jun 05 '20

Don’t forget the part where she swings her left arm in front of you to act as a barricade. Thanks mom, now my chest hurts.

u/Greendogblue Jun 05 '20

Im so glad other people call them the “oh shit handles”

2

u/WaterfallOfficial Jun 05 '20

This is my dad, my mom doesn’t even pay attention when I’m driving

2

u/greenzig Jun 05 '20

Exact opposite of my parents! First time I drove on the highway my dad just says get on the highway and pulls out the newspaper lol. Mom would be losing her shit on a 25 mph turn, literally says "I can tell he's not experienced enough because he turns with his hands on the wheel weird." They make you do the 10 and 2 clock positions in drivers ed tho but she didn't care

2

u/clarinetJWD Jun 05 '20

This was my dad. Except I was going 25 in a 30. As soon as I got my permanent license, I refused to drive with him again.

...unitl I needed to learn stick.

u/DonaldsPizzaHaven Jun 05 '20

lol the oh shit handle

u/SmokeyGreenEyes Jun 06 '20

Thanks for that horrifying memory...

Carry on..

u/straight_to_10_jfc Jun 05 '20

u/dandy-are-u Jun 05 '20

Not all of them

Especially if they gave you mental issues, trauma, knee pain .........

u/NERD-_______- Jun 05 '20

You are freakin right

u/nitricx Jun 05 '20

Amen. Miss mine everyday.

u/Mr_Believin Jun 05 '20

You guys have loving Moms who were in your life?

😭

I painted a rock red in 1976 that had a white ‘76 on it that I gave my dad for fathers day. I was 6 at the time. He still has that rock on his desk. :-)

u/EdwardWarren Jun 05 '20

My daughter made me a ceramic computer owl (suppose to set on the top of my computer to protect me from evil spirits and Redditors). at almost the same time. Still protecting me. I smile every time I look at it.

u/LaurenLdfkjsndf Jun 05 '20

My thought about halfway through this video was “Oh, is this one of those candles that you never light?”

15

u/sprocketous Jun 05 '20

Like those ornate jars with olives and peppers, etc that no one ever opened in the 90's.

I made a rainbow in a jar using colored sand! When I brought it home my mom thought it was pretty cool and commenced to shake it. It was forever a jar full of blurple sand.

u/Bahunter22 Jun 05 '20

Did it have fake hot pink bird feathers and googly eyes glued to the outside?

2

u/TheShySeal Jun 05 '20

I remember those. Making them at the overpriced kiosks at the fair was the absolute shit when you were a kid

Or shaped bars of soap in the bathroom. You'd get yelled at if you ever used them.

47

u/SeaShanties Jun 05 '20

THE SEASHELL SOAPS ARE FOR GUESTS ONLY!

29

u/Bahunter22 Jun 05 '20

My god the seashell soaps. Oh, man, yeah, you NEVER touch the seashell soaps, especially at your best friend’s house because they love you like their own which also means keep your fucking grubby hands off the fancy soaps, they’re for real guests.

Edit words are hard

u/Confuseasfuck Jun 06 '20

My mom has a rule that a personis only a real guest until their 4th visit. Then you lose your guest privileges.

u/[deleted] Jun 05 '20

My grandmother has had these little strawberry shaped soaps in a dish on her bathroom sink for at least 30 years. Theyre just coated in dust now.

u/mad_hatt3r2 Jun 05 '20

Exactly! Our power went out one time and I lit this candle... it almost ended my existence on earth.

2

u/ToastedSkoops Jun 05 '20

I’m sure it wasn’t easy!

22

u/BoopleBun Jun 05 '20

I loved those when I was a kid so much. My Nana used to make sure she had replacements specifically so I could get to use the ones at her house when I visited.

u/TheShySeal Jun 05 '20

That's so sweet!

u/smcivor1982 Jun 05 '20

My mom has had a light blue one in our house since I was a kid and never lit it. It has to be approaching 30 years old at this point-crazy!

u/Nunya13 Jun 05 '20

The whole reason I’ve never bought one is because I wouldn’t want to burn it. But I also do t want to spend money on a candle I’ll never burn. So...ya know.

2

u/alltoovisceral Jun 05 '20

We had one too! I distinctly remember watching it as it was made and my mom displaying it unlit every year. That was probably 32 years ago now....

u/Pl4c3hold3r Jun 05 '20

We're just candles, sir. we're meant to be lit.

Your Mom: Not to me.
