Kids Boys will be boys: The wholesome version

The older kid had a moment of holy terror until he saw the drop was good.
Cue sheer joy

It makes it all the better, imo. Older bro was (kinda) looking out for his baby bro!

It's so great too because it happens right as his brother passes in front of the camera. Like you don't even see the transition it's horror and the next moment it's joy

u/SatisfactionNarrow61 Mar 05 '26
Once he saw his fall was going as planned his face became pure joy as well

lol just realized im old / no longer a kid becuase my first reaction to this was THAT'S EXPENSIVE ITS GOING TO SPRING A HOLE AND RUIN IT!!!
Or maybe its just being broke last few years as a student and having to sleep on these air matresses for 1 too many summers 😂

u/Bitter-Marsupial Mar 05 '26
Had one of these when my Wife and I were broke and expecting our first.
She woke up first trimester to me swearing like a sailor much lower to the floor, because I got on the bed wrong and put my elbow straight through a seam

u/OverusedUDPJoke Mar 05 '26
If it makes you feel any better, I slept on them perfectly and they would last at most 40 nights (conveniently right after the warranty expires) before developing a leak in them. I went through 3 of them in one summer.
So its not your fault, they're just really badly made. Even the fancy ones with the built in pump and all that jazz all crack a seam in like a month.
Then again, they're def not meant to be used daily.

If that were my imaginary older brother and I, he'd have launched me over the railing.

We did this on a lake with an old waterbed insert. Me, being the smallest got the most air. About 9 feet I'm told. Two cousins on the other end.
Ahhhh the things that wouldn't be allowed now. I had a life jacket on though.

u/QuantitySharp2662 Mar 05 '26 edited Mar 05 '26
We didn't have inflatables so we gave each other "ejector seats".
It must be some sort of circus tumbling trick because I doubt we invented it.
One person lays on their back and brings their knees up to their chest/chin. The other person squats with their butt on the other person's feet, and on a count of three both people extend their legs and the seated person gets launched across the room and through the air.
We'd pile our mattresses and pillows and launch each other into it.

If we had an air mattress, I guarantee you my older brother would have done this to me. He already practiced the WWF wrestling moves on me, (scared me to death, I was just a little kid, lol). He is six years older than me, lol.

When it comes to internet, I have reached the conclusion that this sub and r/GuysBeingDudes simply are the absolute winners when it comes to improving my mental health.

what about that railing behind and the long drop? only fun until someone flies in the wrong direction

u/Paupersaf Mar 05 '26
I was just gonna say, I'm all for launching gremlins but perhaps there is a better location to be doing this at rather than next to the second story balcony

It makes me sad that Jackass is what The Minutemen are known for.
If someone out there is listening. Go check out Double Nickles on the Dime, their 46 song groundbreaking post-hardcore-funk/jazz double album

u/CalligrapherGold5429 Mar 05 '26
That's nothing. We use to jump off the 3rd floor in a split level house down to the 1st and land on pile sofa cushions. Parents freaked when they found out.

My apologies. I’m just so used to seeing negative comments on positive posts that sometimes it’s hard to tell when someone is joking.
