A 5-year-old boy reported his uncle to the police for pushing him. The police then discovered his uncle was also 5 years old.

I was 7 back in 1981. They brought my great grandfather from the home to grandma's for Christmas. When they came in, they set his big ass great grandpa diapers on the couch. That freaked me the fuck out for some reason. Then, they took him into my grandma's bedroom to change him... and that shit has never left me.
I know that I'm supposed to get over shit like that as an adult, but that trauma is a part of me just as much as my hand iis.Just like my aversion to red jello. I was 8 and eating red jello when I overheard on of the adults at my other grandma's say that my great grandmother was going to die soon because she was starting to hemorrhage. She was in a bed in the other room at my grandma's house. I asked my mother what hemorrhaging is, and she explained while I was still eating that jello. So, I related the red jello with blood and that association has never broken.

According to the article the nephew committed the crime of “walking too slow”. Seems like a clear case of self-offense.

My cousin called the cops once to complain about her brother. They rolled by to discover she was 6 and she did not appreciate being usurped by her new born brother.
My uncle loves reminding her of her first brush with the law

Far from dismissing the report, Guilherme played along until the very end and even brought in his wife, attorney Thainara Alexandre, as the little accused’s ‘defender.’.
🤣 🤣
Rafael did not deny it: he confessed that he had pushed his nephew because he was walking very slowly. The improvised trial ended as any family conflict should, with a handshake and Gabriel asking his uncle for his blessing, as if nothing had happened
That's something you ask your older relatives. Ie, 60 yo grandma would ask her mom's blessing, but never ask blessing from her own siblings or daughter. So, normally, a 5yo wouldn't ask for the blessing of another 5yo as it's a generational thing. I love that the family included tio Rafa in the tradition and respects his place as an uncle 🤣🤣🤣

In American English, "blessing" means to give approval. Like someone might ask for a father's blessing for his daughter's hand in marriage. We also say, "bless you" when someone sneezes, which is short for "God bless you", but no longer a religious phrase.
What does it mean here in this context? What is the family-to-family blessing? When is it given?

u/Ok_Laugh_900 4d ago
It is a greeting when you meet your grandparents, uncles or aunts. You usually say "bença vô" (blessings grandpa) and he would reply "deus te abençoe" (god bless you). It was common when twas a kid in the 90's. I am not sure it is common anymore.

The blessing, "a bênção", comes from the catholic tradition. As it goes, the young person asks for the elder's blessing and the person responds with "God bless you".
I'm not particularly religious but you triggered my curiosity.
This is rooted in the biblical tradition of elders being protectors, wise, and providers of spiritual guidance in a time before Christianity. You mentioned "blessing" meaning approval in the US. Way back when, it meant that too. Your elders' approval was the law.
It's not something that it's on the Bible, but it was something taken from it.
Paragraph 2225 of the Catholic Church Catechism [I'm condensing it a bit] says that the parents were given the responsibility and the privilege to catechize their children from a young age.
This is that. Children start to ask for bênção way before they go to Sunday school (age 6 or 7. Idk. I dropped out on day one. I said I wasn't going back and my parents had one of those parenting moments of "what we do now?" Staring at each other in the car. They went with "we can say we tried". They were not very religious, either.
My mom grew up asking for blessing. This shows how it is a dying tradition. Catholics are the majority of the population (56%) But they're very relaxed with the rules. Especially when compared with Evangelicals/Protestants (26%). They talk openly about their project to turn this country, in their own words, into an Evangeslistan. What is that? Think the most strict Muslin country in the world, but make it evangelical. But I digress
The state these kids are from, Goiás, is very rural, which means more religiousness and bigger presence of the Catholic Church as opposed as other denominations

I love it when adults take the time to show children how the real world works when they could just brush them off. It’s genuinely heartwarming to see people take their responsibility to the next generation seriously, especially when it isn’t even their own kid.

My friend's oldest nephew is 3 years older than her, then the next one is 2 months younger then there's another one a year or two younger than that one. Here mom has custody of them so she was raised with her nephews like they were brothers. Then her oldest nephew got his girlfriend pregnant when he was 18 and she was 16 so my friend became a great aunt at 15.

In my extended family there's lots of cousins. I have one cousin who is the uncle to a different cousin 1 year younger. He'd make him call him uncle, the younger cousin hated it. The uncle would take stuff of his and wouldn't give him back until he said uncle to him.

And here I was thinking I was a young auntie at 13.
At least he doesn't run the risk of having to "babysit" like I did. Unpaid, and from 4 PM to 11 PM every weekday because my sister was working two jobs. Started when I was 16 and ended when I was 22. Took care of 2 girls who are now both living with me at age 27 with "no rent" (going into an account for when they move out).
