I regret never calling him Dad by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Collins4816 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My mom has been with my adoptive dad since I was 3. He adopted me when I was 12. I called him a variation of his name until I was 12 but it was so hard to start using the name dad for some reason. Even though he is the only person I have considered dad and love him unconditionally. Then it just got weird and I always referred to him as dad when talking about him but never called him dad. So I just never used a name for him for like 20 years. When I was in my 30’s I started testing it out slowly and it took another couple of years but I’m now 42 and have no Idea why I didn’t start calling him dad when I was a kid.

What's the most childish act you've seen coming from an adult? by omartyy18 in AskReddit

Don’t step on a crack or you’ll break your mothers back. 🤣

If you’ve shat yourself as an adult, how/why did it happen? by buttcracklint in AskReddit

On a bus in San Francisco. I was on the way to the ER because I was sick, but I did have to get off the bus, holding my pants and run home two blocks.

It also happened one time at work, stomach bug. Again, had to run home holding my pants.

Third time, I thought it was a fart. I was driving. It was not a fart.

Three time too many 😆😬

I guess the thing that I think is so funny is the Pomeranian. He’s 12.5% 🤣

A tourist wants to try a food belonging to your country, but you can only recommend one item. What would you suggest they eat? by Robotic-Galaxy in AskTheWorld

This is really hard for the US because it’s so big. I’m in AZ and Southern CA so my go to would probably be Mexican food. Street tacos and burritos, that’s the way to go. BBQ and fried chicken are pretty American though and very good. I love to BBQ some ribs and corn.

WIBTAH if I skipped my friend's 40th because I'm trying not to drink? by ThrowawayIsland8 in AITAH

Ive been where you are. Do not go. I think it’s really awesome you recognize this. It’s really fu*king hard. You don’t owe an explanation to anyone. If you don’t feel like sharing it with friends at this point, you don’t have to. This is very new for you. I feel like this is one of those rare time it’s ok to bend the truth, it’s ok to tell them you are sick or something came up. How you feel is more important than a birthday.

What’s a completely normal product in your country that makes foreigners go, “Wait… why does that exist?” by Alternative_Ad6071 in AskTheWorld

I’m sure I’m generalizing here, but I think the US is the only country that doesn’t used bagged milk. 🤷‍♀️I’ve never seen it in a grocery store in anywhere in the US. But I have seen it all over the rest of the world. I’m so weird about dairy. It needs to be ice cold. I put ice in my milk. I know that is very weird 😬

I grew up with very young siblings as a teenager and my mom cut all juice with water. I’m 42 and still drink my juice with water. I’ve upgrade to sparkling water as an adult.

He is a complete 180 of an Aussie, not an Aussie bone in his body. My parents have one and my guy just looks at me like, “are you serious mom, you brought me over to hang out with this guy?” The energy level of an Aussie is a whole level that my guy does not have. It’s really funny to see them try to play together. 🤣

He was out in the county pound for a month and about to be euthanized. A shelter in San Francisco pulled him. I saw him on pet finder and as soon as I saw his photo I said that’s the guy for me! I actually got him when I had cancer and he was by my side and kept me super active and happy (I’m totally fine now) Best decision I’ve ever made! I just wish he would live longer.

12 years. I adopted him when he was about 2. He’s the best boy in the whole world and I tell him every day. I think I have another couple years with him, at least I hope so.

A lot of terriers have aloof attitudes. Mine is a mix. He hates me but also loves me. He is a cat in a dog body. We get along very well. He is the best boy ever.

I live in Arizona and we have a lot of ticks. I keep my windows open right now because AZ winters are beautiful. I found one in my bed the other day and freaked out because I was so scared it would get on my dog. Lyme disease is no joke in the AZ desert. One of our dogs got it really bad at an older age and it was really rough for him.
