I like many people, I 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 on not letting us be stupid guys! thumbs
up. gold star. 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 going to 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" "pfft, 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 is not going to 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 going to
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 was into 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
huh just eat the friggin carrots even though I wasn't a picky eater my parents
had always make up games to try and get me to eat stuff I still didn't like one
night we're all 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 is a scrub but after dinner I got really sick
and my mom's plan kind of backfired they still won so besides the infamous green
bean eating contest which we never did again my mom always had a who can make a
lot of 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 went wait did you make that contest
just so we'd eat more carrots yeah
even my mom's sister was turkey 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 parasu becomes the Masters of getting kids to eat
vegetables which is good I applaud them for it nutrition is important kids like
how many times is your mom just randomly baked you brownies as a kid and how many
times did you think about if there's broccoli in it
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 and
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 so 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 going to 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 kid has their thing growing
up some likes doll some like cards some like pushing other
kids off the swings I was all about stuffed animals
they were my jam till kinda are anyway one day I said hey I like stuffed
animals and I like Pokemon Oh mom please begin plush oh my friend don't say frag
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 underlord so lemonade and since my mom's such a
pushover and since my mom 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 if
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'd take it everywhere I went I fell asleep with it
where'd it go I don't remember where it would be mom do you know where my old
blazer can poke at all went I can't find it
you got rid of it 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 they're all try rare collector's items that aren't even being sold
anymore and freaking wars 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 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 collectors like
holy crap you have the set of hoe and starter evolution polka dolls can I have
them and I can be like no do you realize how rare these are collectors like me
would pay anything to have them I know and that's why I wanted 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 and 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 day so happy birthday mom
I'm going to 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 is
something else I wanted to say 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 going to 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
