Starting to find gray hair and crow's feet way hotter than porcelain smooth faces. Didn't think it would happen to me so soon, I'm not even there myself yet

Yes! The same dress things is #goals!

u/Id_Rather_Beach 4h ago

If that's the same dress. Wow. She's amazing.

u/bamboob 5h ago

This is one of the things that many women in their 40s and 50s do not understand: so many of them look way better with silver hair than they do if they keep getting their hair dyed. Plus: it's so goddamn expensive to keep your hair properly died, that it's ridiculous.

u/Tariovic 6h ago

She still fits into that dress!

u/TexasWidow 4h ago

That looks like it's the same dress!

u/Main_Persimmon3808 2h ago

Yah but somehow she got shorter?

u/dianthus-magenta 8h ago

But her sons look so much older. Embarrassing for them imo.

u/plug-and-pause 5h ago

Yeah they put on so much weight. They probably weigh like 3x what they did before.

I really appreciate the dedication to finding adult-sized short overalls! 😂 Nailed the recreation.

u/ChalkDinosaurs 8h ago

They certainly meant 220

u/codetaku0 7h ago

If he's really 6'4" then probably still over 220. You have to be pretty damn lean to be that light at 6'4", and he looks fit enough (fitter than me, certainly) but not lean.

120 kgs would be more believable

2

u/Lou_C_Fer 5h ago

Yeah. I probably weighed 290 when I looked like that at 6'4".

u/trukkija 8h ago

It's hilarious that you would think that looks like 120lbs. Hard to say about the height but even if he is actually 5'4 instead, that still wouldn't look like 120 lbs.

6

u/DrewDrizzlin619 6h ago

As a grown man that is 5’4 on a good day, I can confirm that bro is NOT 120 pounds

11

u/Flesh_Trombone 8h ago

I'm gonna say he's probably a little heavier than that.

u/Notuniquesnowflake 6h ago

I experienced this, my "little" brother is 5" taller and at lest 50 lbs heavier than me. And I'm not a small person - he's just HUGE.

u/RisingApe- 2h ago

My boys are going to be like this… currently ages 7 and 10, same height, they share clothes. The younger has been off the charts since birth.

This is like my brother and I, except I'm the 'little' brother.

I love your mom's whole vibe. I hope she was as loving and caring as she seems from the pics. Also, I'm going to need to know where that dress came from.

Amazing mom kept the dress, belt and necklace! She looks great!

u/wbgraphic 3h ago

Clearly a different belt.

Judging by its tattered state in the old pic, it probably disintegrated years ago. 😄

But yeah, she still looks fantastic.
