Among his injuries were nine broken vertebrae, a ruptured spleen, broken hand and a collapsed lung.

Jesus. 13 year old survives 100 foot fall, meanwhile I stretched too far to reach some chips in the highest parts of the cupboard and now I can’t look right.

Kids are made basically out of rubber. Adults however... Have you ever seen a rubber band that's been sitting in a drawer for like 5 years without use? Yeah, kind of a similar thing.

I totally get the sentiment, but it’s time to move on. We have our own thing here now and I’m over the whole Reddit thing at this point.
