parents hi like many people have parents
and even better I think they're pretty
good ones my mom and dad have always
wanted the best for me and my brother
and didn't let us do stupid stuff like
lean back too far in our chairs at the
dinner table so good job I'm not letting
us be stupid guys thumbs up goldstar
well I did lean back too far that one
time but I'll give you a pass on that
one
and I learned my lesson everyone has
some sort of guardian figure in their
life and I'm always gonna be grateful I
was able to grow up in a loving family
with good parents there's been ups and
downs arguments disagreements but when
it all comes down to it they're just
looking out for me Jaden tie your shoes
before riding your bike what do you know
I'm actually at a big step in my life
right now because I'm moving out of
their house I'll finally be out of the
nest making my own choices a free bird
if I want to have oatmeal for dinner my
family's not gonna be there to walk in
and look at me weird I don't care about
your oatmeal is a breakfast food I like
it and will eat it when I desire just
watch me moving out has made me think a
lot about my life growing up and
everything my parents have done for me
to be able to get to this point and even
though I can totally make a heartfelt
video about all the sacrifices they've
made and nights they've spent caring for
me I'm gonna talk about funny stupid
stuff because that makes a better
youtube video I'm on my own now I got
bills to pay when I was little I wasn't
a picky eater I'm pretty sure I ate most
anything on my plate
some kids are all know I do not like the
taste of this mush and will not consume
it no matter what you tell me I will sit
here with a pouty lip and arms crossed
for all eternity in this high chair and
when I die of starvation it will be your
fault hun just eat the friggin carrots
even though I wasn't a picky eater my
parents would always make up games to
try and get me to eat stuff I still
didn't like one night we were all at the
dinner table and my mom had the
brilliant parent idea of saying hey how
about we have a contest of who can eat
the most green beans the quickest
harmless right she was just thinking it
would be an easy and sneaky way for us
to get into our vegetables but she
underestimated my power you dare
challenge me not only will I win but I
will eat the most green beans you've
ever seen anyone eat in their entire
life
I ate so many green beans in such a
short amount of time that night I won
obviously because everyone else was a
scrub but after dinner I got really sick
and my mom's plan kind of backfired but
I still won so besides the infamous
green bean eating contests which we
never did again my mom always had a who
can make the loudest carrot crunch
competition I don't need to explain the
rules it's right in the name my brother
and I would go crazy over that contest
we didn't even think about how we were
eating carrots we just wanted to defeat
everyone else it wasn't until recently I
was thinking about it and when wait did
you make that contest just so we need
more carrots yeah
even my mom's sister was tricky with my
cousins and getting them to eat their
vegetables my mom told me stories about
how when my cousin was just barely
learning numbers and counting they'd be
eating dinner and she'd say to my aunt
mommy I don't want any more carrots how
about you just eat three more how about
five hmm well okay fine parents have
become the masters of getting kids to
eat vegetables which is good I applaud
them for it nutrition is important kids
like how many times does your mom just
randomly baked you brownies as a kid and
how many times did you think about if
there's broccoli in it ha gotcha kiddo
you're getting so much vitamin C and K
right now you don't even know if you
didn't know about that there's a way you
can hide broccoli in brownies as an easy
way to get kids to consume more
nutrients without them fighting you
because they only want to live off sugar
brownies are good at hiding a lot of
stuff actually have you ever heard of
black bean brownies there's ways you can
add black beans to brownies and no one
will even know here's one go and dry it
if you want it's a good way to add
protein to your diet because everyone's
so obsessed with protein and for some
reason society thinks it's the only
macronutrient we ever need and carbs are
the devil and will destroy your life and
kill everyone you love and that's a
tangent for another video so yeah two
people who didn't know you can hide
broccoli in brownies black beans some
people try other herbs let's move on I'm
gonna tell this story because it's kind
of stupid and doesn't matter but I'm
still a bit salty about this so you'll
probably get a kick out of it every
it has their thing growing up some liked
dolls some liked cars some liked pushing
other kids off the swings I was all
about stuffed animals they were my jam
still kind of hard anyway one day I said
hey I like stuffed animals and I like
Pokemon Oh mom
Blaziken plush oh my friggin my mind was
blown two of my favorite things combined
together
Blaziken was and is my favorite Pokemon
so I was desperate to have this Blaziken
Polka doll I was willing to wash the
dishes clean the house make a deal with
the under Lord so lemonade and since my
mom is such a pushover and since my
mom's so nice she let me and my brother
pick out a polka doll we each like I of
course picked out the Blaziken and my
brother got the Totodile one and can we
just stop and appreciate this Totodile
by the way let's continue so my mom
ordered the plushies they were like 20
bucks or something and we were pretty
happy campers when they arrived
I loved that Blaziken doll for a really
long time but of course as with most
children and their toys I started
playing with it less after a while as
you liked it but I gradually stopped
bringing it everywhere and eventually
just kept it in my closet maybe like a
couple years ago the memory of it just
popped into my head and I wanted to look
at it again yeah I remember all the fun
times I had with that doll I take it
everywhere I went I'd fall asleep with
it where'd it go I don't remember where
it would be mom do you know where my old
Blaziken polka dot went I can't find it
[Music]
you what sometime when my mom was going
through all her stuff she decided to get
rid of my Blaziken polka doll without
asking me I was crushed well that is a
bit extreme I went from having a normal
day to having a bit of a less good day
but then I thought wait I'm an adult I
can just find another one and buy it
myself
I don't need my mom's permission anymore
so I looked on Google to try and find a
new Blaziken poke at all and apparently
now there are old try rare collectors
items that aren't even being sold
anymore and freakin worth a crap ton of
money
now I'm having even less of a good day
yeah apparently these things are worth
like more than a hundred bucks now and
everyone's desperate to have one and we
bought it when it was like $20 mom do
you realize what you've done it so it's
become my goal someday I will have
another Blaziken polka doll one because
I really like it and two I'm not a
collector of anything but now this might
seem a bit evil to people in the rear
collectors community I want to have as
many rare polka dolls as I can find just
because I'm not a collector I want to
have all these polka dolls that are
super rare and then a collector is like
holy crap you have the set of hoe and
starter evolution polka dolls can I have
them and I can be like no aah
do you realize how rare these are
collectors like me would pay anything to
have them I know and that's why I want
it I'm on a journey to get as many rare
polka dots as I can now I think my
target is Blaziken Swampert and Sceptile
because it's the trio and they're my
absolute favorite and their stupid rare
it's an evil plan I know but I think
it's funny this video ended up being
like 60% of me talking about getting
tricked into eating vegetables have more
stuff to tell so I guess there's room
for a sequel video it won't be next
though because I like having other
videos in between sequels but it's on
the list
there's also coincidentally my mom's
birthday the other days so happy
birthday mom I'm gonna take you out to
dinner soon I just have to get this
video done but it's up now so yeah let
me know where you want to go anyway I
think there was something else I wanted
to stay here and I think it was
important because I remember thinking to
myself oh I don't need to write that
down it's too important for me to forget
or something like that and here we are
this is a bit awkward watch I'm gonna
remember right as I click upload for
this video because that's totally
something my brain would do to me well I
guess that's that
