I remember when I was young, my dad said to me, “Son, before you ever get married, you make sure you do one thing to prepare.”
“What’s that, papa?” I asked, a gleam in my eye and wonder in my soul.
“Before you should propose, I think it only right you open up Twitter and scroll through for a while and figure out what a bunch of internet strangers have to say about being hitched. Write those down as a set of principles, and go from there.”
“I will, dad. I will.”
Today, I fulfill that promise.
Every day is fry day if you keep the peace enough.
In 34 years on this planet I’ve learned one very important lesson that I’m going to pass on to you fellas. She can eat your fries. You cannot eat her fries

Hey, we’re not here to kink-shame.

The Greek philosopher Socrates once said “By all means marry; if you get a good wife, you’ll become happy; if you get a bad one, you’ll become a philosopher.”
It seems that a lot of people on Twitter are caught somewhere between good and bad with their spouses and have thus turned into tongue-in-cheek-happy philosophers.
If you don’t understand what I mean, have a look for yourself.
Ah, I see what you did there.

We gotta set real expectations for those coming of age.
Why isn’t porn more realistic? Like why isn’t there one with a husband and wife and the wife chokes violently on her spit and the husband gets alarmed they spend a good 5 mins with her coughing and him smacking her on the back and then the mood is gone so they go get donuts?

When you’re young (and dumb), you can do all kinds of crazy things and not even think twice about it.
Sports, exercises, falling down on the street: you could just pop right up again and not think twice about it.
But, as you get older, those old bones start creaking and you hurt a lot more…sometimes just from even getting up in the morning…
AskReddit users talked about what they could do easily as kids but not as adults. Let’s see what they had to say.
“My last job we had an event where we went to a big field. There was a park right next to it. There were monkey bars there.
I have not tried monkey bars since I was a kid, so I gave it a go. I could not do anything, it hurt so bad just trying to pull my own weight up.
It really took my by surprise.”
“I was in gymnastics for awhile as a kid and I was very comfortable doing all kinds of tumbling, but I thought about cartwheels the other day and realized that I wouldn’t even know where to start now.
I’m still fairly fit, but the thought of just launching myself forward and upside down seems completely impossible and it was something that seemed so natural when I was younger. And then I started thinking of all the other things I used to do and the freedom of it all and I got wistful and sad.
As of yesterday I’m recovering from lower abdominal surgery, but as soon as I’m able, I’m starting a flexibility program and installing a pull up bar. Maybe by this time next year it’ll feel a little less impossible.”
“People always talk about your back and knees hurting when you age. Hardly anyone mentions the f*cked up sh*t that goes down with your digestive tract.
I get the worrrrrst indigestion and gas pains now if I eat gluten, dairy, or anything mildly acidic.”
“Do nothing.
If I don’t do some kind of chore, I feel like the day was absolutely wasted.
So I spend my days off working around the house to keep from feeling guilty.
Then I complain I never get a day where I can do nothing.”
“Sleep well.
As a kid I would sleep peacefully in any place, no matter how loud it is or crowded or in what weird position my body was.
As an adult it takes me an eternity to fall asleep and every oh so little sound wakes me up.”
“Run.
I dream about running.
I would give anything to be able to really run.”
“I used to be way more flexible.
I’m literally only 20 and I work out every day, and I’m still feeling stiff as a board.
This getting older thing sucks. I want a refund.”
“Get completely immersed in a movie without thinking about how it’s just a bunch of actors and special effects.”
“Be outgoing, charming and slick.
Somehow I lost all these skills growing up.
Now I barely know how to socialize with people, when I used to just be able to walk up to someone as a kid and make friends.”
“A flying tornado kick.
I was in Korean martial arts as a child and after 4 years of training I could perform a kick where I front kick twist my body in the air and kick with the other leg. Did not think much of time.
Now I realize that I should have been impressed and that was not something most people can do.”
“Sitting with my legs crossed.
Get up from a chair and immediately run.
Touch my toes.
Sleep more than 5 straight hours.
Write legibly.”
“Learn another language, apparently.
I could communicate in 3 languages when I was 3-4 years old, but quickly forgot it all by the time I was 5-6, having lost my opportunity to use it or practice.
Despite studying again for years and taking multiple classes, I just cannot break through being able to actually understand or speak in those other languages beyond a pretty basic level. It’s super frustrating.”
“Roller skating.
Used to be pretty good as a kid then didn’t do it most of my teen years.
I tried again in college and ate pavement.”
“Climbing a tree.
I can’t believe I would just climb so many feet in the air by just using my pure strength.”
What could you do easily as a kid that you can’t do now?
Tell us the painful truth in the comments!
Please and thank you!
