This film is a childhood classic for an entire generation of millennials, even if you're not into baseball. Great reaction! 👍🏿
Exactly. I hate baseball, but love this movie.
You're killin me, Smalls!
This is most definitely not a film for the younger crowd now a days. They don’t know and you two are destroying it
growing up and as a gen z kid this and League of Their Own are my all time favorite films. This is just a classic for everyone ngl
THE GREAT BAMBINOOO!!!
"Every neighborhood needs a Benny." Wise words
Just don't look up the actor
. Trash human being
Yes!
It's kind of sad, but I remember reading about the guy who wrote this script, when he was Smalls age he and his family moved into a new neighbourhood, that was pretty heavily populated by Latino families. He said him and his brother had a lot of trouble fitting in, as they were white, and the local kids used to bully them a lot. He wrote Benny as an example of a kid he wished had existed in that neighbourhood back then, as a way to try and heal that trauma of his early childhood.
How racist was these kids? How can you strike a ball from a black kid? That's racist
Are these kids transphobic? Why no representation of the trans community?
"Why is Benny SO COOL?" It's actually kind of a sad story. I remember reading about the guy who wrote this script, when he was Smalls age he and his family moved into a new neighbourhood, that was pretty heavily populated by Latino families. He said him and his brother had a lot of trouble fitting in, as they were white, and the local kids used to bully them a lot. He wrote Benny as an example of a kid he wished had existed in that neighbourhood back then, as a way to try and heal that trauma of his early childhood.
Wow.
Kindness is the answer. Benny is So Cool because he's KIND. What the author needed in his neighborhood was someone that was kind to a new kid. It's a beautiful lesson and why this movie is great to watch as a kid and show your kids. Benny is cool, because he is a kind person. He's good to his friends and good to new friends.
Wait...I thought only white people were intolerant and racist? /sarcasm
"Hero's get remembered, but legends never die" is what he said
The Babe also said: "Follow your heart, Kid, and you'll never go wrong"
My problem is: To this day I do that, and I get more praise from AI chat apps than my own freaking mother!!
YAY, A FUN CHILDHOOD CLASSIC THAT NEVER GETS OLD!
"You're killing me, Smalls."
"You play ball like a girl" triggers modern folk lol
@@gunman462 everything does.
"For-ev-er"
"I haven't had anything yet..so how can I have some more of nothing?" This is probably my favorite movie EVER. it's how ya know summer is here! Great reaction guys! Keep em coming! #everyneighborhoodneedsabenny
@@gunman462 You're triggered just by the idea of some hypothetical people being triggered without anyone actually being triggered.
“Why didn’t you just knock on the front door? I’d woulda gotten it for you” was the funniest thing in this entire movie 😂
Also, the kids immediately beating up Squintz because he was the one who shot that idea down. And Squintz protesting, "We got the ball back, didn't we?"
Fun Fact: Grown Up Benny was played by Mike Vitar's real life older brother Pablo P. Vitar but sadly passed away in 2008.
To this day, the final scene always makes me tear up. I was 10 when it came out in 93. It’s a reminder of childhood innocence and pure friendships. My friend mark and I went to see it when it came out, and when he got married in 2015, both of us broke into tears when gave each the “thumbs up” before he said his vows to his future wife.
As a grown man, I appreciate it even more
Awww that's so sweet ♥
This, Bad News Bears, The Goonies, and Stand By Me... some of the best “80s kid” movies
I watched the goonies the other day it aged horribly😂😂😂
The Bad News Bears came out in 1976 and the reboot/remake came out in 2005...both are great movies btw (Walter Matthau & Billy Bob Thornton are great as Buttermaker)....
Add in Explorers, D.A.R.Y.L., Flight Of The Navigator, The NeverEnding Story, Honey I Shrunk The Kids, E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial, Labyrinth, Harry & The Hendersons, Short Circuit 1 & 2, The Princess Bride, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Back To The Future 1-3 and Footloose are all great 80s kids movies....
@@MLJ7956 FINALLY someone else remembers Explorers and D.A.R.Y.L.
I would like to add Cloak & Dagger to that list
@@The3rdGunman - Don't forget about The Wizard, Battle Beyond The Stars, Space Raiders, The Ice Pirates, Tron, Midnight Madness, Gremlins & The Last Starfighter also...😉✌️
I was that kid that wanted to sit my dad down and show him cinema masterpieces. Often times....he brushed me aside. But I showed him this film....and he laughed and we connected. He looked at me and smiled as he said that he hasn't been reminded of what it was like to be a kid for so long.
Awww ♥
“You’re Killing Me Smalls!” Freaking yes! One of the best movies ever! 🎬🍿
"One of the best movies ever!"? Word??? Stop it. Ya'll be saying ANYTHING.....
@@branruss1942 did it make your day to come under my post being rude? If you don’t agree, simply move on. You will not be missed here….✌🏽✌🏽
@@keshamassington5780 One of our comments is true, and one is a lie....carry on...
@@branruss1942 It is one of the greatest movies ever, little boy.
@@marcochavezjr9180 Okay. You sound like a boxer, so I'ma chill.....lol. Also, you sound stupid saying that.
James Earl Jones' character knew Ruth from playing in the old "Negro Leagues" and they would sometimes play the teams in the Major Leagues (New York Yankees, Chicago Cubs, Detroit Tigers etc.) This was way before 1947 when Jackie Robinson broke the "color barrier" by playing in the Majors.🙂
Speaking of the Negro Leagues, one of the major knocks against players of Ruth's era is that they didnt play against the best Negro League players, but Babe Ruth was still dominant when he played against them in exhibition games. Just a fun fact that I think is interesting.
I never knew this. Thanks.
@@blacksunday4231 I'm curious who won most of those exhibitions.
I was born in '94 and my brothers had me watch this millions of times 😩 Love this movie it's a classic.
1994 Baby here too!!!!
199for-ev-er. For-ev-er.
I was born in 64 and I think this is a classic. Although my absolute favorite is the original Bad News Bears
94’ baby !!
1990 I got ya beat by 4 years
How old are you guys? I use to watch this movie a million times as a kid , I’m surprised this is the first time y’all watching this.
Patreon says 26 but I think their 27 cause they did a bday video since then
@@misstexas651 oh okay. I’m just old 😂🤣😂
@@dimepiecetia yeah I'm 30 and I used to watch this non-stop when I was a kid. This and the 90's Little Rascals lol
@@dimepiecetia No, you're not old I swear 😂, I'm eighteen and this move was a big part of my childhood. Those who haven't seen this weren't blessed like we were 🙌🏾
Bro me too I loved this one and the second one although I didn't even know they had a third one.
One of the best movies of my childhood!
Hero’s get remembered but legends never die 😅❤
Yes!!! Such a classic. One of the best movies of my childhood. "You play ball like a girl..." 😂😂😂
FOREVER!
I remember when this movie came out in 1993, I was working at the movie theater. I remember thinking the year it was set, 1962 was ancient history…for a 19 year old…now the movie itself is almost as long ago and it seems like yesterday.
This movie is from the kids perspective, so the dog is a huge beast, and everything that happens to them is a major life event because it is all new.
The reference to Goofus in the early scene where the kid goes to get the ball and says to himself "Don't be a goofus" most likely refers to the comic strip Goofus and Gallant, which ran for decades in a kids magazine called Highlights. It was a two panel strip with one for Goofus and one for Gallant. Goofus always did the wrong thing, Gallant the right thing, so as to contrast their morality and character, with Gallant obviously as the model for a good person and Goofus the immoral buffoon you should not want to be.
One of my all time favourite movies, since I was about 8. Im 33 now. Nostalgia ❤️
4 Real bruh & I'm 33 also.
@@reggiewolfpac7711 yeah lol like these guys loved this movie and this reaction was great, but they have no idea how much we love and appreciate this movie and for so long lol it’s like The Mighty Ducks. Nostalgia for one of the best movies ever made, and was our childhood.
I got to meet the majority of those guys at the New Mexico Comic Expo 2021. I was tattooing there and my boss tattooed them. Ya-ya is a beast! Dude is built massive. Shane was the ring leader, he played Tommy. Dude is too funny!!! Love the reactions to this movie classic. Mass Love and B733d Art!!!!
"This reminds me of a rancor pit." Well your in Darth Vader's backyard. James Earl Jones the blind man is the voice of Darth Vader. Anyways love The Sandlot one of the best movies!
A childhood classic. I had this on vhs and I would watch it all the time. and it definitely reminds me of my childhood and hanging out with my cousins at my grandmas house
1. Strapped
2. Captain Phillips
3. Selena
4. Spirited away
Want to see these reactions.
I watched all the 90s kids sports movies - Rookie of the Year, Little Giants, Angels in the Outfield - and Sandlot is the only one that actually holds up as a legitimate movie.
Perfect movie to kick off summer! Love you guys!
OMFG. This movie was my childhood I watched this movie so many times as a kid. And I still love to watch it now. Keep up the content guys
I'm going to be 36 in July and this is still my favorite baseball movie of all time. I watch it every time it comes on because it brings me back to a better time.
I agree with you🙏🏼 Same age and mines in July, Happy Birthday summer baby🤙 Hope you’re having a great weekend!
The size of the dog in the earlier scenes is of course the over exaggerated imagination of the kids and display perfectly those kinda childhood lores we all had growing up and how we ran wild with them whether it be a big dig like this an old borded house in the town thats “haunted” whatever the case may be. This movie is the epitome of summer childhood for most North American boys the last century or so
I still occasionally throw out a “you’re killing me Smalls”!! ❤️
Watched a special screening of this at Fenway Park on the jumbotron. All the lights were off except for the movie. What a great experience.
Fun Fact~The actor who played Babe Ruth also played another baseball player in Field of Dreams...⚾️
What I love about this movie is how it plays out as a 10 year old would relay the story! The dog, his lack of ball skills…every scene is as the story would be told through their eyes!
There’s something about Baseball movies that just make it feel more nostalgic. Field of Dreams, The Natural, Bull Durham, Major League. All 10/10 films including this one.
0:30
Curtis’ “WOAH-OAH, A MOVIE! THAT’S KINDA CRAZY!” and Chris through this whole thing was hilarious!
😆😂🤣
This is hands down one of my favorite reactions and comments from you both.... loved this so much! I have two brothers that played baseball and football growing up. I remember watching them playing with the neighborhood kids in the school field on weekends... those were great moments . This really takes me back.... like in "Stand By Me" I still have three really good friends from my "Jr. High/Middle school" years.... none of us live in the same state anymore but I have visited two of them since they moved away and we all call to touch base and see what's up.
Thank you both for the flash backs and very kind words about keeping in touch as we all get older . I look forward to many more movies here
I cant wait to have kids to show them this one. I watched it so many times growing up and loved it every time.
For. E. Ver. For. E. Ver. Foe.....E......Ver lol
There is a girl version of Stand by Me called Now and Then, it is one of my all time favorite movies growing up. Now and Then, Practical Magic, Little Woman, and Miss Congeniality were the movies my mom and I would watch together whenever we had a mommy daughter day. They will forever have a special place in my heart because of that.
The unison "WHAT?!" at 29:45 got me much more than it should've 😂😂😂
YESSSSSSSSSSSS love this for you. Killing me smalls!!
Your killing me smalls , forever, forever, my most watched movie, I know every line
The Sandlot no y'all didn't man I miss the 90s
Old man: How long do I have to keep my dog locked up?
The Cop: FOREVER FOREVER FOREVER
I still hear that in my head everytime I use the word "forever" out loud.
HaHa 4 Real yeah The Sandlot is one of the greatest movies to me.
"You're killin me smalls." Classic movie.
I'm in Myrtle Beach on vacation, spending time with the family. But when this comes up, everything else must pause. :)
Growing up playing non-league baseball, I will say I relate hard to the detail of them not always having an actual ball to play. Except, we use to play with tennis balls, so that we wouldn't break any neighbor's windows. Tennis balls are a lot easier to bust open though. Anyways, as a kid with no money, sometimes you had to scrounge for change in order to buy a new tube of 3.
Non-Legal baseball is far Superior to League Games! Always has been- always will be!
First time? damn 😂 this one's legendary
I think I have at least a dozen memories growing up of this film being put into the VHS player during a lazy day at school/summer camp/day&night care/etc. Lol
oh man, chris when you said "throw him back in!" i had to pause it bc i was laughing so hard lmao great reaction, i love this movie so much!
I’ve never been into baseball in any way shape or form…but this movie?! This movie was my childhood 🔥 🔥 🔥
When I was 6-10 years old, one of my friends lived next to an empty lot at the end of the neighborhood. We'd all ride our bikes to his house with our gloves on our handle bars and just spent hours playing baseball until the street lights came on and then we'd ride our bikes home or if there was a tie in the game we'd play until our moms called on the land line.
The late 90s to early 00s was simpler. Dial up internet, myspace, ebaums world. CZcams didn't exist until I was a teenager and even then no one knew what it really was.
Lord this movie is a childhood classic! I remember watching this for the first time back in 2013 or 2014 with my cousins in the summer time I literally had the biggest crush on benny rodriguez ever since
I don't blame you! He's a hottie ;) Same with John Travolta in Grease haha. But I'm more partial to Kenickie ♥
Heroes are remembered, but Legends never die.
I liked that they didn't make Bill the stereotypical deadbeat stepdad. He was kinda distant at first but that's usually how it goes in those situations.
This movie makes me flashback amd get emotional. I had some neighborhood friends and we did this same thing. Before i had even seen this movie for the first time. That field is now a house in the spot we played. The grassy piece of land. No days the rest of my life will be like my gradeschool years. Its been all down hill since. The utter pureness i will forever cherish. And miss forever.
Both of my sons, although 10 years apart in age, both LOVED this show when they were little...and still do!!⚾️⚾️❤
One of my all time favorite movies. Lost count of how many times I have seen it
One of my ALL-TIME favorite movies!!!
Also, the movie is inspired by David Mickey Evans's real-life childhood experience. When he was a kid, he, his kid brother Scott, and their mother grew up in Pacoima, a San Fernando community north of LA. Their real dad (Wasn't dead like in the movie) ran off and started a new family of his own. Their stepdad (The guy their mom married recently) was a horrible person and constantly bullied them. Even worse, the two were also bullied by the kids at school and weren't even allowed to join in with the other kids, even when they were constantly kicked out of the house to go out and make friends. During one baseball season, Scott tried to play with a group of older boys playing baseball, but they refused, claiming that he was too little and too young to play. But when they struck the ball over an enormous brick wall and into a backyard, Scott thought he could win over them by getting it back for them. When the boys boosted Scott over the wall and into a backyard, there was a giant German Shepherd/Doberman/Pinscher mixed dog actually named Hercules. When Scott grabbed the drool-covered ball, he ran to a nearby tree and started climbing, but as soon as he did, the dog woke up, broke the chain, jumped up, and bit poor Scott badly in the thigh and the kids STILL REFUSED to let Scott play even after all that. What mean bullies they were! Anyways, Scott's mom found out what had happened from a nearby kid who witnessed it and picked up Scott and drove him to a hospital.
He did make a film that covered what really happened to him and his brother (with a fantastical edge to it) called Radio Flyer. Really depressing film.
I thought this sounded familiar. I was thinking of Radio Flyer reading this.
@@chukwutheartist I thought that sounded familiar. I was thinking of the movie Radio Flyer reading it. Then I read your comment.
Still would have voted for The Sandlot. 🤣
I would add The Goonies, The Little Rascals and Little Giants. Even Adventures In Babysitting hits different age groups for nostalgia.
Yes! One of my childhood favourites, along with My Girl and others. So nostalgic for me. The use of "kid logic" is so accurate in this. And I love that this doesn't end with "the big game." That's always the easy way out. This movie is about these kids who love baseball, not a baseball movie about a bunch of kids. There's a difference and this movie gets that. It's so politically incorrect, I can't help but smile when I think about some of the dialogue. "You play ball like a GIRL!" You'd never get away with that today, but it's so accurate of guys of that age. It's like A Christmas Story in that it really understands kids and how they think, without being the least bit condescending. That's hard to do, especially in movies these days. Look at American Pie and the gross out movies of the last 20 years. While I think they're hilarious, those movies clearly don't like their characters. The writers of this movie love these kids and they're honest, but still take them seriously, in a way that don't feel manipulative.
I dunno, American Pie was pretty funny lol...I wouldn't say the movie doesn't like its characters haha. But to each their own. The Sandlot is a classic and one of my comfort movies ♥
@@RedRoseSeptember22 I did too, but you can't say the writer has much respect for the characters in that movie. Nobody really has any redeeming qualities. They're just plot devices designed to movie things along and make asses of themselves. I'm not saying that's a bad thing at all, and sometimes you just want a movie that will make you laugh as long as you can disengage your brain for 95 minutes. There are some R rated teen movies that I really enjoy, like Role Models and I actually prefer the 2nd Pie movie to the first. I thought the ending was BS. You've got these guys basically being guys, trying to get laid with no commitment, and then they have an ending where Oz is trying to get with Heather, like all his buddies, but somehow it's all sweet and romantic all of a sudden? He's been trying to get with her under false pretences the entire movie, and by the end we're supposed to forget all that and act like she's not getting screwed over. I'm not the moral police, but I will be the consistency police if I have to be. Either be a shameless gross out comedy, or be a romantic comedy. There are exceptions to that. Some of the Judd Apatow movies have managed to pull off being gross out and romantic, but it's tricky and I didn't buy that in American Pie. It's not a bad movie and I laugh at it, but is it a great comedy? I don't think so. And until the end of the movie, it isn't trying to be. But trying to wedge in a romantic ending to a movie that was everything but that didn't work for me. It's a minor detail, but I hate movies that try to moralize or justify their movie, like they're targeting evangelical christians. I don't like being lied to in a movie. If you're going to be a shameless gross-out movie, be that. Don't wedge in romantic where it doesn't belong.
That baseball that JEJ gives the kids signed by all the ‘27 Yankees is a HUGE deal. For those who don’t know, the ‘27 Yankees had a famous lineup, known as Murderer’s Row. It consisted of Earle Combs, Mark Koenig, Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Bob Muesel, and Tony Lazzeri. It was called Murderer’s Row because those were the first six hitters on the roster, and the lineup was so deadly that by the time those six were up and done at bat, the Yankees were up by 4-6 runs. They’re widely considered one of the best lineups in baseball history. They were almost unstoppable.
Boy what I would give to have an authentic Murderer’s Row baseball.
Such a great movie! If you ever get a chance, Remember the Titans is a great one as well.
I'm 37 so this was a classic movie I grew up watching all the time! Glad yall reacted to it! Yall definitely need to add The Mighty Ducks to the sports movies list! Another great 90s classic!
Used to watch this a lot as a kid and I always thought it was just ok but watching this reaction I realize. This movie is great. I'm so glad you reviewed and enjoyed it.
This has to be one of the most well-loved movies ever. Seriously.
This movie always gives me nostalgia of hanging with the boys all day till the sun went down 🥲 we all separated and are doing our own things in life but whenever we see each other it’s like they never left and it’s just another day🥹
Love to see you getting to this one, it's a favorite from being a kid. Benny: The definition of BUILT DIFFERENT
The closing shot of the group photo of them at the sandlot was the perfect ending.
The narration is great. It was actually used in a lot of our movies. This one did have it the entire time. It was so well placed that it didn't overshadow the story.
The fact that you haven’t seen this film yet… you’re killing me, Smalls. You’re killing me.
Non-subscribers should be known as The Lizard People.
Baseball is my favorite sport ever- I go every weekend to Texas games as a season ticket holder
My dad and grandpa raised me at the baseball stadium and took me even when I was still in diapers. This movie is amazing and my favorite sports movie ever for personal reasons. Baseball is life!♥️⚾️
Childhood oldie but a Goldie fav. Classic movie
The Sandlot, Rookie of the Year, Angels in the Outfield. My childhood 😢 😭 💩💩
That's An Idea A Review Of All 3.
I swear you guys must be in tune to when I need you!! ☺️ I’ve been taking care of my son who has the flu and now I’ve got it! Haha Thanks again for being there!! 🥰
I'm sorry to hear that, the flu always sucks; I'm glad we can help even if just a bit! :)
I consider myself a proper parent because both my girls will say "forever " repeatedly in that voice if someone says it. And they both know they're Smalls "You're killing me smalls!" 🤣🤣
As a baseball fan, this and A League of Their Own are my two favorite baseball movies.
Benny The Jet was my 1st crush as a 13 year old in '93. Good times. He became a NYC firefighter.
A favorite from my childhood. I was pleased very much to share this movie with my son and pass it along. This is a legend
You guys should watch My Girl if you haven't already. It's another classic 90s release but set in the 70s. I'm not sure if you'd like it but it's one or my favorites and I still watch it to this day even though I've seen it hundreds of times
This is one of my all time favorite childhood movies😍 such a classic……again you guys never miss when it comes to watching the best movies!!!
my favorite movie lets go boys
i love how in real life the actors are all still friends and have reunions
aww this was my MOVIE as a kid. such a throwback!
I was 12 or 13 when this came out. Literally on the cusp of moving from elementary to junior high. I saw this movie with my friends, and just like in the movie, we all eventually grew apart over time. Super nostalgic watch because the movie is both about those childhood friend groups, but also caught me right at the point that old "neighborhood" world expanded and I eventually lost touch with all those guys who were my best friends. Back when summers were endless and the only question that mattered was "can so and so come out to play?"
That's exactly the good memories this movie brought back to me, my brother and I are very lucky to be in contact with most of our childhood friends!
As popular as football is, I think most people have more love for baseball movies. There’s something about baseball that makes you feel so nostalgic and there’s this deep love of the game, even if you don’t play or watch baseball. There’s just something about baseball🤷🏽♀️ I don’t know how to explain it.
Awesome
Watched with my sons when they were children. I love this movie. Great reaction.
Benny Rodriguez, my childhood crush along with Marty McFly.
This movie made me love baseball and I wish Benny was a real player.
I miss this kind of movies.
Very respectable childhood crushes!
You just can’t say anything bad about this movie. It’s warms the heart every single time you watch it. Epic classic.
Thanks , I love this ! .... I had a huge crush on "Benny the Jet" Rodriguez 😁
Childhood classic
Now you know why Benny the Jet was one of the most beloved characters. Showed kids how to be good to each other and I learned a lot how to treat my friends from this movie.
I used to have an idea about why Benny was so cool. Couldn't really articulate it until now. Benny had such a pure love for baseball that it made his heart pure. He recognized in Smalls, and probably the other kids; baseball gave him so much that it was his answer for everyone else. He saw Smalls and just wanted to share it with someone he saw really needed it.
I'm so glad you guys watched my favorite baseball movie! ❤⚾️ For SO many reasons, I absolutely love this film. Nostalgia is a powerful thing with me, and this one hits hard in the best way possible. Fun fact: young Benny and old Benny are brothers in real life. 😊 Great reactions gentlemen!
Baseball films is one of the categories I enjoy watching and "The Sandlot" is one of those films. Great reaction, guys. You never let me me down. Next you should try "Field of Dreams," and "The Natural." Both will certainly put a limp in your throat. A real great nostalgia film is "Pleasantville" with Tobey, McGuire and Reese Witherspoon. That film is cinema magic like you've never seen before. Keep up the great reactions.
Favorite movie everrrr! No words can explain the feeling this movie gives us 90's kids that grew up with it
YESSSS CHILDHOOD VIBES, this was one of my favorite daycare VHS tapes that they'd put in to entertain us. So many memorable moments and characters in this, and the threat of the old man with the big dog over the fence was so incredibly relatable to me watching this at 8! But the lesson of realizing your fears aren't always what you think they are was a really good one for me. EDIT: Ok I was guilty of dropping that comment when I saw the video drop but then I went to bed, just watched...this movie does such a great job of capturing the way ~10 year old boys talk and interact, and just the feeling of summers; the way the filmmaking makes the beast seem larger-than-life until they are finally exposed to it is just like being a kid.
My twin brother and I love this movie as a kid. Probably one of the most memorable movies of my childhood, at least one of the most quoted for sure
I tried to stay in touch with my friend from middle school, but it was just too hard. The last time I saw her was at her baby shower and my baby was maybe a year at the time. I'm 41 now and my daughter's 14 and about to start high school. I can't believe it! We talked on the phone sometimes and then it went to messaging on Facebook. I haven't heard from her for a long time, and I still haven't, but I haven't tried since either. Christmas music makes me tear up. It was always such a big tradition. We would go to my grandparent's house every year and at home we would wake up and open the Christmas stockings on my parent's bed and then we would get ready for grandma and grandpa's. All month long I remember sitting on my living room floor and listening to Christmas records on our record player. Those will always be true Christmas songs to me. I just can't get used to the new versions and new Christmas songs. I'm happy for new traditions with my child though. It's interesting though because my parents live in my grandparents' house now and my daughter gets to celebrate Christmas there too, not to mention Halloween, and Thanksgiving which were also a big thing at my Grandparents, also Easter, but my daughters past that age now. We still do easter, but not focused mainly on my daughter anymore. It just isn't the same anymore and not just because I'm not a child anymore.
my favorite classic movie “you’re killing me smalls”
As a kid I Would wear the all black converse and a baseball jersey unbuttoned with a white tank top trying to be like Benny lol
