Yeah I unfortunately got the MSNBC version of this story when I asked my Mom once if I was an accident. She said, "Of course not Roe V. Waide. Probably part of the reason I am a subscriber... Despite a lot of disappointment.
When my 3rd child, (2nd daughter) was born, I was talking and walking with my 8 year old son. We were just chatting about him having 2 little sisters, and I told him that he is my favorite son. He was all excited, and then he said, "but I'm your only son". That's when I told him that the odds were definitely in his favor.
I have three grandchildren - two grandsons and one granddaughter. From the time they were little, I've told them they were my favorite - my favorite OLDEST grandson, my favorite granddaughter, and my favorite YOUNGEST grandson. The first time I asked my youngest grandson if he knew he was my favorite - without specifying YOUNGEST - the other kids just looked at me knowingly, while my little five-year-old grandson just replied, "Yeah, I figured" - lol
You ever have a favorite stuffed animal as a small child? The one you took everywhere, so it was all worn out and dirty, but you still wouldn't give it up? If you tried to sell it, it'd be worthless, but it meant a lot to _you_ for emotional reasons.
I have three older siblings born in 61, 62, and 63, I was born in 66. My sister told me “Mom and Dad didn’t want you, you were a mistake. That’s why there’s an age difference between you and us.” Naturally I asked Mom about it. She just laughed and said, “Oh, honey, all four of you were mistakes.” I was okay with that, because we were all the same.
My dad was stationed in Naples, Italy when he was a young buck back in 1954-1956. I asked him once day, "Dad, how many half-siblings do I have in Italy?" He laughed until he cried, but I never got an answer. I was actually curious. 😆
See, when you're adopted, you get to tell the other kids that your parents went out and picked you on purpose, while their parents were stuck with whatever they got.
No shit I would love to see this guy as president and him dropped some damn Real Deal help America and not put the bags on a pedestal type of a law where you can rub it in people's face just do your own thing but don't get out here and rub it in other people's faces and then and when he after he announces the presidential order he can drink out of his mug that will be listed as liberal tears on it
My mom said she bought me from the Indians (the ones now called Native Americans). She also made up silly stories about whom she bought my siblings from.
Funny one. True story. When i was really young, about 11, I was this young fedora wearing guy. Don't know why, i just always loved hats. I asked honestly if i was adopted. My grandpa caught wind if it. He pulled out a black and white photo and my eyes went wide. There was my great grandfather as a young man. It looked like a picture of me older with a fedora and all.
Hey. My brother and I are adopted. Once my brother was teasing me mercilessly. I asked my mom why they adopted him. My mom responded, "Well, he was the only one with his nose pressed against the window." 😅
My brother and i were both adopted. Turns out i was just so darn cute in kindergarten that a sub told my mom who was a teachers assistant at another school about me. My brother was basically the bonus fry.
My favorite story along this line is from Calvin & Hobbes. Calvin sees a "Baby Store" and assumes his parents got him from one. He asks his dad about this, and dad responds: "Of course not, you were a midnight madness sale at WalMart!"
@@joywebster2678you would have never survived with my sarcastic dad then. He always said mean things just joking around. Good thing I didn't get hurt feelings by them. I'm just as sarcastic too.
When my oldest son was needing to be put back in line I said you really need to think about that your doing because ( nobody remembers your older brother) 😮 priceless
And there are those who would be appalled a parent would say that to a child. Yet my two very well adjusted children would have laughed thier butts off if I said that to them.
This kind of stuff is important growing up. It teaches kids about humor and how to take a joke. It also teaches you to develop a bit of a thicker skin. Also the more subtle things. Like how to tell the difference between a joke and a serious insult.
We have 4 adopted and 3 bio children. (In that order). When our first bio child was born, one of our kids, maybe 5 years old, asked “when do we get to adopt her?” That was his way of saying “I love you”.
Lol, I told my little sister that she was adopted. She asked my dad and he told her that no she was not adopted but that I was but...they gave me back.
My grandparents adopted 4 children, my youngest uncle once told My grandfather that he didn't feel loved, my grandfather told him that if they didn't love my uncle, they wouldn't have spent so much money to adopt him.😅
One of my younger brothers was a terribly colicky baby. He was either asleep, or crying (21 years later our church family still talks bout how much and how loud he cried). My dad used to tell him that it was a good thing he already had other siblings because ‘first children like you end up being only children’ 😂 He was pretty young at the time so I don’t know that it made an impression, but of course his siblings made the most of that comment growing up!
True. My friend always said if daughter two had been her first child, she'd be an only child. Daughter one was so chill that they thought this parenting thing would be a breeze 😂.
Son comes home from a doctors visit and says, Dad I've only got 2 years to live. What should I do ? Dad says, Get married. The son looking confused asks, Will getting married help me live longer ? The Dad says, No but it'll be the longest 2 years of your life.
My older brother was adopted. In grade and middle school the bullies would tease him mercilessly about "being adopted," that his "real parents didn't want him." My brother's mother died shortly after his birth and his Dad was caring for the other 5 kids, but was unable to take care of newborn. Long story short, in middle school my brother came up with the best come back, "I may be adopted, but my parents picked me out and chose me. Not like your parents that had no choice and had to keep you." ROTFL!! My brother always had the best comebacks for every situation!
I see where you get your sense of humor. Never could find adoption papers, so I figured I was truly theirs.Of course I never told them I was looking through their important papers in their closet while they were gone from home.
Reminds me of how many times my mother said that she wished that she could trade me in for a new model. I don't know why she actually let me live into adulthood and beyond. Guess I was a royal pain in the ass. I really miss her.
I thought that sounded kind of rough... until I remembered that when my youngest was little we used to kid him that we adopted him from the circus and his real name was Zultan the gypsy monkey. His brothers made up a song about it. Good times 😂😂😂
I was born with red hair. Both my parents and my brother (older) have dark hair. I think I was in Junior High before I started to realize why my mother got some funny looks. And if you saw my brother and I together, we look nothing alike, you're first question might be, "which one of you is adopted.?"
My mom told me up front when I was twelve that I was adopted. From being taller than either of them at that age, and having blue eyes and blond hair, I was oddly able to make that distinction on my own.
I didn't have to ask my dad that I already knew I was adopted. I told them they made a bad decision adopting me. Because I have dyslexia. Leg perthy's disease. Klein's filter syndrome. Have a lot of issues growing up. But my parents love me for me. Great parents
A friend of mine is adopted but was told that by her adoptive parents. They told her if they were going to adopt a kid, they would have picked a boy. She didn't find out she was adopted until she was an adult.
never had that thought as a kid, i was basically a carbon copy clone of my dad when he was a kid, i have pictures of him and pictures of me and the only way you can tell us apart is the age of the photo itself
😂😂😂 Keep your kids humble, and love em at the same time. My Dad helped me stay grounded that way. I knew he loved me because he messed with me. My transition into the military / veteran community was nearly seamles, in that regard at least. 😂
I've grown up with just my dad since I was a year and a half and Listening to you , you sound uncannily like my own father I love your content both shorts and full content and I hope one day to meat you in person cause I really wanna shake your hand sir
My dad's line was "Yes, you're adopted, we're just waiting on the paperwork so you can meet your new family."
ouch!
Legend
That is something a dad would say.
That is good!
Yeah I unfortunately got the MSNBC version of this story when I asked my Mom once if I was an accident. She said, "Of course not Roe V. Waide. Probably part of the reason I am a subscriber... Despite a lot of disappointment.
My brother was adopted.
One day Dad said, "You know you're adopted."
Bro complained, "I dont want to be adopted! I want to be a cowboy."
😂😂😂
😂 bless his heart
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Your brother should be more a lert, the world needs more lerts.
😂😂😂😂
“Not adopted but I did always think you looked like the neighbor, now that you mention it” was my dad’s response.
Hahahhaha

I say the same to my one and only daughter 😂
Love it!! GREAT FATHER.
With two older sisters and me being the only son I heard similar things from my parents 😂
My grandma used to say the same thing, until my cousin's were born and then it was "You're my favorite _oldest_ grandson" 😂
I have three grandchildren - two grandsons and one granddaughter. From the time they were little, I've told them they were my favorite - my favorite OLDEST grandson, my favorite granddaughter, and my favorite YOUNGEST grandson. The first time I asked my youngest grandson if he knew he was my favorite - without specifying YOUNGEST - the other kids just looked at me knowingly, while my little five-year-old grandson just replied, "Yeah, I figured" - lol
My dad always said we weren't worth two cents, but he wouldn't sell us for a million bucks. I was sure there was a compliment in there.
You ever have a favorite stuffed animal as a small child? The one you took everywhere, so it was all worn out and dirty, but you still wouldn't give it up? If you tried to sell it, it'd be worthless, but it meant a lot to _you_ for emotional reasons.
Known as a back hand comment , and more about teasing for a re action

That definitely made me laugh. 😂🤣😂
My older sisters always told me I was adopted. My parents always denied it, though.
Hahaha, good answers.😅
Shoulda asked her why your sister has a personality disorder while you were at it
🤣🤣🤣 I wonder where you got your sense of humour, Mystery solved! 🤣🥰🙏🏻
:))) I love his sense of humor. :)

See, when you're adopted, you get to tell the other kids that your parents went out and picked you on purpose, while their parents were stuck with whatever they got.
The man with a mug for every occasion.
This mug is awesome! 😂
This man's mug game is gangster to a whole new level!
No shit I would love to see this guy as president and him dropped some damn Real Deal help America and not put the bags on a pedestal type of a law where you can rub it in people's face just do your own thing but don't get out here and rub it in other people's faces and then and when he after he announces the presidential order he can drink out of his mug that will be listed as liberal tears on it
Does he have a (large) room just to store his mugs?
I listen to him but I stop a the end all the time to read the cup.
😂😂😂 my mom use to say, "i wouldn't take a million dollars for you, but i wouldn't give a dollar for another one like you." 🤔
My mother used to say something similar about my brother and me, but with her it wasn’t a dollar. It was a nickel.😮
"No, you're not adopted... You were on sale at Walmart for $29.99."
Clearance aisle.
My mom said she bought me from the Indians (the ones now called Native Americans). She also made up silly stories about whom she bought my siblings from.

@@lvlndco Yeah, Fedora wearing Grandpa's are cool as well.
That is actually what I always tell people lol. 'My parents picked me, yours were stuck with you by mistake😂😂'. The look on peoples faces lol
MUG: Son
What a great person you've turned out to be
we really are amazing parents
you must be so proud.
I'm so going to use that when mine is older
every time I see your clip I have no idea where it's going, I just want to say thank you .
Man has more mugshots than most criminals out there. Those mugs are hand picked.
So over the last few weeks i have come to the belief this man is who we NEED for president.
Voice of reason and HONESTY...SADLY rare among ppl SUPPOSEDLY hired to help AMERICA AND ITS CITIZENS
He's too smart to ruin his life by doing that.
My thoughts exactly would love to see this guy run for President
Welcome aboard! We're thinking about jackets.
Nothing like a smack of humility from the gipper.

My dad told me that if i were adopted he would have returned me😂
😂
Yes my mother said that to me all the time. Very hurtful.
I love dad humor. When my brother and I were being rambunctious he would tell us “go play out in the street, preferably with lots of cars”. 🤣
@joywebster2678 maybe u just sucked and she was being honest?

Thank you for raising kids with humor!! Too many out here all into the "feelies."🙄
My dad said "You think I voluntarily take you on?"
Who else wants to see his mug collection!?!?😊
That collection has got to take up a pantry closet at least!!
Just subscribe like the rest of us. One mug at a time.
@@EliSkylanderyeah...I sub"d...lol
Oh hell, I do, I sure as hell do.
I want to buy some of them.

My grandparents adopted 4 children, my youngest uncle once told My grandfather that he didn't feel loved, my grandfather told him that if they didn't love my uncle, they wouldn't have spent so much money to adopt him.😅
Nick,
So clearly you get your humor from your Dad! 😂
"Am I adopted?
"Not yet."
😂😂😂 I used this on my little brother when he was young. Hysterical!!! 😂😂😂❤
my dad said they brought me home from the hospital and put me under the bed... to see if I would bark or cry... I barked so they kept me.
Adorable!! Best family story ever!❤

The Dad says, No but it'll be the longest 2 years of your life.
😅💯👍💯😁💕🇺🇸
😂
We once did the “we’ve got to let one of you go due to the economy” to our kids and I’m pretty sure they’re still traumatised lol.
Given that my siblings and I all look alike, I never had any hope that I was adopted.
I Love it 😂😂😂😂. Your a good Man,love your humor!
Every kid should get that mug from their parents.
Got to love the sense of humor.
LOL! Well we have a clue of where you picked-up some of your humor! I like your dad, too😛

I see where you get your sense of humor. Never could find adoption papers, so I figured I was truly theirs.Of course I never told them I was looking through their important papers in their closet while they were gone from home.

She was waiting on her grandchildren, which is a parent's reward for not killing their teenagers.
Amen! Have 6 grandchildren and having a great time watching my children go crazy!!@@MsMorganGirls

And if you saw my brother and I together, we look nothing alike, you're first question might be, "which one of you is adopted.?"
My mom left me at the hospital for a week. Later she said the gypsies took me but brought me back. Explains a lot.
There is no humor like dad humor! Gotta love and respect it!
How many mugs do you have???😂
My mom told me up front when I was twelve that I was adopted. From being taller than either of them at that age, and having blue eyes and blond hair, I was oddly able to make that distinction on my own.

The mug: Son what a great person you have turned out to be; we must be amazing parents . You must be so proud!!
😂😂🤣🤣🤣☠️😜
I always thought I was adopted for some reason. Of course I wasnt, but the adoption feeling lasted untill jr high.
Thats where your humor comes from
My family notoriously uses the phase “Found you in a pork & bean can”, can’t wait to tell my kids 😂
Ah, the apple didn't fall far from the tree.
My dad said no, I found you in a dumpster in Thailand and felt sorry for you. My dad was an ornery Senior Chief 😂
I love old people who just don't give a fuck
A friend of mine is adopted but was told that by her adoptive parents. They told her if they were going to adopt a kid, they would have picked a boy. She didn't find out she was adopted until she was an adult.
Ah, maybe I just looked better in the store.
Being a dad, I can tell you he was waiting years for that opportunity, and celebrated it quietly for weeks afterwards.
Afterwards, Nick's mom had to take him to the burn victims ward at their local hosital because THAT was savage.
LOL - What your dad really wanted to REALLY say was - "Son, we wanted to take you back,but, we lost the receipt!!!".
I seriously busted out laughing😂, that was hilarious!
Someone left you on our doorstep...
My brother would say I am adopted, when I asked my mom she goes " we found you on a highway under a rock."
Thanks Nick, I really needed that chuckle.👍🏻
I love that you have mugs for everything!!! Lmfao but you really are awesome! 100% you need to run for president
So now we know, Nick is the acorn; Freitas Pere is the savage oak tree... 🤣😂
Do you think that we would've picked you?.
LOL 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
never had that thought as a kid, i was basically a carbon copy clone of my dad when he was a kid, i have pictures of him and pictures of me and the only way you can tell us apart is the age of the photo itself
My mom and I are the same way. Dad's genes didn't show much until my mid 30's. It's so amazing how the dice land sometimes 😂.
Been paying child support since you were born but go ask your mother... 😅😅😅😅
ROFL that’s the same thing my grandmother once told my dad😂
Another mug that I must have.😂
Your dad is a legend!! 😂 love your content mate.
This Makes Me Smile 😊
Wasn't adopted, the crane just stopped at the wrong house when one of its wings cramped up. :-)
😂😂😂, I see where you get your humor from, classic 😂
LMAO!! Your Dad made a great response!!😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂 I do the reverse I tell my daughter's they are adopted they laugh and tell me I suck cause I picked them hahahaha 😂😂😂
Obviously, your dad was a legend!!😂
Hahaha. That’s what’s great about dads
I asked the same question and my mom told me when I was 16 that my father was someone else. I laughed cause I was right all those years I asked.
😂😂😂 Keep your kids humble, and love em at the same time. My Dad helped me stay grounded that way. I knew he loved me because he messed with me. My transition into the military / veteran community was nearly seamles, in that regard at least. 😂
That one made me laugh so hard out loud that I snorted out of my nose!!! Now we know where you got it!
Don't tell women but thats what builds character or traumatizes young boys! I guess we will just have to wait to find out. 😂😂😂😂
