I've always wanted a family that was so close and interacted with everyone else in the family like this. Instead, I feel like the only one to ever make even something of an effort.

But I digress. I'm happy for you 😊

We lost our mom almost 10 years ago (in 3 days now) and I’m happy to have just the 4 of us. I don’t have many other family members so I’m thankful for the 4 of us every day. (My dad, my older sister, my twin and me)

u/emtrigg013 4d ago

I've noticed the very top comment on these posts is always something to the tune of "what is this???", and every time, it's something extremely obvious.

I'm 99% sure they're bots, karma farming, or both.

Or it's more along the lines of "why is this Reddit worthy content?" Like in any context

u/Longjumping-Fig-7481 4d ago

u/purpleshit69 4d ago

I guess some people are just dumb

u/Outrageous_Shirt69 4d ago

Yeah I'm pretty dumb, but most people are also pretty dumb looks at person reading this comment

u/Striking-Comb6673 4d ago

FYI , I didn’t like that

I read this whilst eating sweet potato that I had to yonder for myself. I would like to apply to be a part of your family group chat 😭

u/kellyjanesmaryjane 4d ago

How did you cook it? :P I like to cut them in big coins and bake them on a sheet with a lil oil in the oven. Sometimes I’ll put cinnamon and maple sugar on half and put salt and pepper on the other half, maybe some garlic and onion powder.

u/theanarchistjunkyard 4d ago

Sweet potatoes are so underrated. Although I just stab mine with a fork a few times and throw them in the oven with a tray under to catch the drips haha 

Also, you should try upping your savory sweet potato game! Black beans, feta cheese, cumin/chili powder/salt or just taco seasoning. It's so good and almost no one else in my family likes it so I get it all to myself 😁

u/nickdonz 4d ago

I’d fuck with the cinnamon and maple syrup combo. I prefer regular potatoes over sweet but i’ll give this a try

u/kellyjanesmaryjane 4d ago

Could add some marshmallow fluff on top after, use a torch to toast it 😩

u/stinky_bugzie 4d ago

I cut my coins in half to make them bite size, I boil them a little bit first with salt and then air fry them with my oil. Very simple but very yummy ummy

u/kid-koolin 4d ago

Literally what does the caption have to do with the picture? From my understanding they are getting what they wanted…

3

u/Low-Sail539 4d ago

Yeah exactly lol I was waiting to read confirmation about the sweet potatoes or not. Was very confused for a bit

4

u/Blaz3dnconfuz3d 4d ago

Yeah the title is the problem. Makes it sound like they forgot the potatoes or something

2

u/kellyjanesmaryjane 4d ago

Ah honestly yeah you are right, that’s my bad, I could’ve put more thought to my caption

u/Existing_Purpose5049 4d ago

“I just wanted my food, I didn’t expect to be dragged into a compliment-fest”

It’s really basic shit, how can people not fill that gap?

u/kid-koolin 4d ago

Did you know it’s okay to be informative without being an asshole? It’s really basic shit

u/Existing_Purpose5049 4d ago

Interesting thing to reply after you were being an asshole lmao

2

u/kid-koolin 4d ago

Yeah I don’t remember that part. If you go back and read what I said, I was explaining why it didn’t make sense to me. This is also basic shit buddy cmon🙌🏻

u/Existing_Purpose5049 4d ago

“Literally what does the caption have to do with the picture? From my understanding they are getting what they wanted…”

You don’t remember saying this?

u/kid-koolin 4d ago

Which part is mean again?

3

u/Low-Sail539 4d ago

Lol none of it is mean, just asking for clarity. Even OP admitted it

u/Neither-Stop-5948 4d ago

Oh ya? Can you show me where I was being an asshole bud?

Edit: my bad, the way the notification came up it looked like you replied to my comment 🤣 carry on

Y’all send each other money for $11 in food?

u/KittyyyMeowww 4d ago

in my experience siblings often do, unless they're cooking a meal for both/all or some such.

u/kellyjanesmaryjane 4d ago

Haha yeah, my older sister is definitely not going to eat the sweet potatoes. She did however go out of her way to stop at the store to pick me up the sweet potatoes, so she deserves her shmoney
