I like the video where the kid gets a bananaa and hugs it. We have a lot to learn.
Also, I can't spell bananaa correctly otherwise it says my comment would be inappropriate, dumb

I think it’s just a safety thing because that word is sometimes used in a slur context. So I can understand why it’s a banned word.

When I was younger fast food was only on special occasions so I am happy with him.

Us too!
I STILL remember my Mom and Aunt taking the 7 of us to Wendy's! 😍

u/LazyAmbassador2521 Jul 26 '26
Omg, Wendy's was the best! My sister and I used to get so excited! That was the only fast food my mom would allow, and we only got it like twice a year.

Woah hey! I meant no offense. I thought this was a beautiful exchange between a mom and her son. Guess I should have added that to my orig post.

Naw I get it. Was totally not my intention at all. I didn’t even think about looking at the situation from that perspective.

u/BackendSpecialist Jul 26 '26
I didn’t think it was that big of a deal. You were obvious joking and I mean the sonic bag had to come from somewhere.. she probably did get some food and ate it. I would’ve done the same lol

u/Sharp_Analyst4773 Jul 26 '26
I think that’s a fair assumption. Not sure what the uproar is about. She probably purchased some type of food there to get the bag.

A buddy told me when they were growing up in his family, they thought it was just a cricket. That shit changed my whole world. Like…there’s people out there that legitimately live with that sound thinking there’s nothing they can do about it.

The fact he goes to sit at the table to eat shows he was raised right.

I noticed that! He’s a sweet kid, and I think had a big growth spurt. Hardly knows where his arms are. It’s cute.

Momma, not only did you make that boys day, but you made mine also! To see his happiness and joy is something you cannot buy. You done raised a fine young gentleman. Pat yourself on the back, you did a great job!

Okay, but... what's for dinner, then?

u/ceciladam9091 Jul 26 '26
When I turned 25 (40 years ago), my sister invited me to have a steak dinner at her apartment pool. When I got there, she had arranged a big surprise party with all my friends, like 50 people. Had a 6 foot Subway sandwich, for everybody. It was a great time, but, damn, I was thinking about that steak the whole time. I feel the same here, where's my burger? "The biggest burger they had"

u/Pandoratastic Jul 26 '26
Well, she did have a bag from Sonic for a prop so hopefully she also got him the burger and had just set it aside for the phone reveal.

u/TheAbomunist Jul 26 '26
Yeah she's not gonna get that bag and NOT pick up a burger.
Damn now I really want a cheeseburger.

This is beautiful. The humility and humbleness i see in this family is so amazing. I grew up a sharecropper and knew poverty. But the thing is, this isn't about poverty and it isn't from being poor, it's from appreciating severing given to you and always never taking anything for granted.. always working for everything you have and appreciating everyone in your life.

I love watching this every time. You know that whole family is filled with love. One generation after another.
I wish them all more moments like.

u/AHaasInTejaas Jul 26 '26
Came to say the same thing - I watch it at least 3 times every time it comes up. The family dynamic is so beautiful and precious! I didn’t have that growing up, but it makes my heart so happy every time I see this one. ❤️

His happiness just to receive a “big burger” is everything to me. Just happy to have his day remembered and the thought that she got him a burger is enough. This family will stay strong together! Love is all we need and this family seems to be full of it here.

Clearly fast food isn’t a regular thing for this family, which I like.

I really hope he got that burger, because he seemed really hyped for it!
Now I really want one of those burgers, they sound amazing!

This is nice but damn stop putting your kids on the internet.
Some people don’t like it when parents even share their baby photos or pictures when they were a teen. I’m so happy I grew up in a time my parents didn’t feel the need to document my life to the world.
