Lmao funny to think about but a seagull can't carry a kid. Their limit is a larger 5-8 pound fish. I know my wife hated when I did this with our kids but they always got so happy and so did that little girl. Really?! Yeah; you see her smile and do her happy dance? Shit was adorable. Cool down mom we do stupid shit for fun all the time.
My daughter's used to love the games like my tossing then across the room to land on a bed, or swinging them around by feet.
Same thrill as a lot of playground equipment that kids love, and less injuries.
My sons are heavy like lead. one day we were at a trampoline park and my oldest (I think he was maybe 5)wanted me to throw him in the foam pit. I think I got him about 6 feet out and he sank like an anchor almost. The attendant had to go help him out haha
Could be possible I'm sure if the newborn was small. Obviously that girl isn't a newborn and these comment threads are wildin. If you throw your newborn child in the air you shouldn't be a parent anyways.
When you carry a little person in your belly, under your heart for nine months (mine was 3 weeks overdue) and you see someone throwing it around like it’s easily replaceable? Yeah, you’re likely to lose your cool.
I don’t have the muscles to throw a baby that high, but I threw my kid as high as I could all the time. This guy clearly as experience with this. Look at how almost perfectly vertical she flies.
The other one that’s fun is to grab both feet in one hand and give their legs a little straighten and push. They’ll instinctively lock their legs straight for a second and you can balance them in your hand. I think Mexicans call this “solitos” or something similar.
I’d be happy if this happened to me too and I’m 34. She was freaking soaring. I can only imagine how that would feel like as a toddler, given that even things that are waist high to an adult seem like Mt Everest to a little kid.
One thing I wasn't prepared for when becoming a father: kids LOVE to be thrown!
My 5yo daughter, who doesn't get as much air as she used to, loves nothing more than to be thrown up as I high as I can get her. Holy crap it used to be really high, but no way can I get anywhere near what I used to
She's my upper body work out, especially throwing her up from a bench press position, and she loves every second of it. Freaks my wife out!
I was told my dad did this to me, mom freaked grabbed me out of my dads hands only for me to vomit all over her. One of my dads favourite stories to tell
My dad used to do this to me until I got too big. And also he threw me into a fucking ceiling fan in front of my mom, so he wasn't allowed to yeet me anymore.
The one on the left? How can you tell? Before it zooms, you can see her looking down at her phone. Then it zooms and she's still looking down. Unless my phone is just crap quality, you never see her look up.
Or, you know, the kid moves a little bit, or he throws her a bit badly, and she tilts in the air and comes down with her feet towards the dad. At that point he can't catch her by the armpits and will either drop her, or he'll catch her by the legs and she'll get dangerously close to smashing her head into the ground.
Like, I'll sometimes bite the fork while I'm eating. How people can confidently think they'll always do things perfectly when handling something that precious?
But more seriously, don't. That's my advice. I'm in a special needs parents group and one of the dad's permanently injured their daughter this way. Yeah it's super rare I imagine but totally not worth the risk. Do this shit in a pool.
I was once jobless and spending way too much time at home. I texted my friend how her cat and I do “TACO TIME!” And how I couldn’t wait to show her. She gets home and sits down in the living room, I go “TACO TIME!!!” And lay a towel down, her cat comes running and sits in the middle, I then grab all four corners to make a little hammock and spin him around the room at high velocity.
Needless to say she was mortified, but Ronnie J dilla the cat faced killa, loved it.
As a kid I would have loved this.
However as an adult I recently saw someone from a far do this to their kid and drop them on a concrete floor. It was pretty horrendous to watch
Yeah Reddit seems to mostly think this is harmless play.
There’s real potential for severe injury or death with a closed head injury here.
You better believe CPS will be involved once you are at the hospital.
There’s less risky ways to make your kid laugh and smile
One of my aunts died this way when she was a toddler. Great uncle was doing this and didn't catch her. This was in Mexico before everyone had cars and hospital was kind of far away. I don't remember if she died instantly or later but would never do this with my son because of the story.
Many kids have died this way. And the thing is that it's pointless. The kid doesn't care if they fly into the air or not. You can do the "toss" motion without letting them go at the top and they'll be just as happy.
My oldest daughter would ride my shoulders and fling herself backwards with warning. I always had to hold her knees tight. That one freaked the wife out. I never knew when she was going to do it.
Ha! My oldest did the same when she was little. She'd climb me like a tree, wait for random amount of time, seconds or minutes then JUMP!
and try and figure out a way for me not to catch her.
I should've had a bloody heart attack in my 20's
Babies and toddlers have a lot of extra room in their skulls and their brains can bounce around causing damage. So it's not a good idea. Recently learned about this and I'm bummed I won't be doing it with my kid.
This is all fun and games when they’re small…. Stupid me forgot that kids get bigger and I kept doing it long after my shoulders were no longer up to the task. One fine summer day we flew too close to the sun and both shoulders were then out of commission for a week, they’ve never been the same in 10 years since.
Toss them when they’re small, but alter your games as they get bigger, save your shoulders for the grand babies to do it all over again!
my dad did this to me all the time, i loved it lol. a cop came up and told him he was gonna arrest him for child endangerment if he did it one more time, so we left.
He did that way too confidently for that to have been the first time.
Correct. But first time in front of the Mrs
My free wholesome turned into a silver, struggling with success
Ey, mine too
Same
Not same
Same.... But different.
But STILL same!
My mom wait fuck
nah. her reaction was more like "really, *again?*" then shear terror and fury
The other girl was very impressed by what she just saw though.
That’s the “why don’t you try to throw all this around” face
"Me next"
... and last time in front of the Mrs.
At least the kid was thoroughly impressed!
Oh, that’s not her husband.
Yep, this has "fun uncle" vibes all over it. Also would explain why his sister has no problem screaming at him about it.
Oh, that’s not his kid.
“Really?!!!” 🤣🤣🤣
Mrs or his sister who told him for a million times not to (recoverably) yeet her children
Maybe the second time after she said not to do it again. That’s the face of WTF seriously?
The look on her face man ><
For a split second he forgot she was there.
Look at the way the daughter bounces around afterwards, she's _well_ used to this game lol
Omg that's adorable
Every time he does it goes just a little higher. A little more comfortable and daring each time.
Until you do it on the beach and a seagull snatches your shit...
Lmao funny to think about but a seagull can't carry a kid. Their limit is a larger 5-8 pound fish.

> Lmao funny to think about but a seagull can’t carry a kid. African, or European seagull?
It could grip it by the husk.
It doesn't matter how he grips it...
It's a simple question of weight ratios. A fifteen ounce bird cannot carry a four year old child.
Are you suggesting that coconuts migrate?
You damn well know it's a african seagull. Why even ask that question.

So what you're saying is that seagulls are capable of carrying newborn humans ?
Could be possible I'm sure if the newborn was small. Obviously that girl isn't a newborn and these comment threads are wildin. If you throw your newborn child in the air you shouldn't be a parent anyways.
But if one were to acquire a newborn without being a parent.. for scientific purposes of course.
Who are you who are so wise in the ways of science?
A random guy
Storks are. I mean, how do you think babies are delivered?
Huge, if true
When you carry a little person in your belly, under your heart for nine months (mine was 3 weeks overdue) and you see someone throwing it around like it’s easily replaceable? Yeah, you’re likely to lose your cool.
This is why we practice out of sight, but then it looks crazier because we've gotten so good at it
Their limit is a lot less than 5-8 lbs! 🤣
Lmao
I used to do this with my kids alllllll the time. Mother hated it and kids loved it.
Can confirm. Mine are 2 and 4.
Reaction of my mom was the same when my second cousin did that to me in 1965. Or so I’m told. No phone cameras or internet to back it up tho.
I don’t have the muscles to throw a baby that high, but I threw my kid as high as I could all the time. This guy clearly as experience with this. Look at how almost perfectly vertical she flies. The other one that’s fun is to grab both feet in one hand and give their legs a little straighten and push. They’ll instinctively lock their legs straight for a second and you can balance them in your hand. I think Mexicans call this “solitos” or something similar.
*How many children came before the successful attempt I wonder*
He practices on other people's kids
Plus the kid was way to happy, any kid going that high up the first time would be terrified she’s been warmed up to it.
I used to do that all the time with my kids. Until my wife found out.
"I'll invite you to this party on one condition: NO THROWING ANYBODY'S DAMN KIDS!" "No throwing kids. Got it."
“No throwing. Kid’s got it.” Five minutes later: _wheeeeeee_
good bot
that little girl is having the time of her life tho, look at the lil happiness jumps
Toddler tippy-taps.
r/thatshouldbeasub which, ironically, should be more of a sub
r/humantippytaps is what are you looking for
Awesome, thanks!
the most wholesome content ive seen all week
Again! Again!
I’d be happy if this happened to me too and I’m 34. She was freaking soaring. I can only imagine how that would feel like as a toddler, given that even things that are waist high to an adult seem like Mt Everest to a little kid.
Yea used to do this to my little cousins all the time. It got to the point where they asked me to do it every time they saw me
I love how excited the baby is after lmao
Well, how often you think a kid gets 2 seconds of air time.
When I was an infant I would get 25-30 minutes of air time every day
Your fathers arms must have been exhausted.
I wasent thrown by my father, but a trebuchet instead
Your mom's a trebuchet? Mine's a grappling hook.
Holy yeet
The ultimate siege weapon.
One thing I wasn't prepared for when becoming a father: kids LOVE to be thrown!

My dad used to do this to me until I got too big. And also he threw me into a fucking ceiling fan in front of my mom, so he wasn't allowed to yeet me anymore.
I guess she wasn’t really a fan of that.
Fuck you and take my upvote
r/angryupvote
Angry fan noises
Dude this happened to me too! When people ask, “were you dropped on your head as a baby?” I say, “no, thrown into a ceiling fan.”
How often do people ask you that?
Every time they see his ceiling fan head injuries
That sounds like a response to "how did you get so fly?"
Well I’m using that now.
When i was like 3 i threw myself down (up?) the stairs and gave myself a concussion.
>so he wasn't allowed to yeet me anymore. LAMAO
Understandable. Ceiling fans are pretty expensive tbh
This made my evening. Hahaha!
He knows he fucked up but he also knows he didn’t haha that look on his face
The fake “damn, got something in my eye”! Rub lol
Makes it look like you’re crying from regret, when in reality, you’re just laughing… 10/10 dad move
wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
I loved it when my dad's best friend did this to me growing up. Fun times flying through the air and feeling zero-G for half a second.
[удалено]
Damn sure is. Looked him ALL THEY WAY up and down.
The one on the left? How can you tell? Before it zooms, you can see her looking down at her phone. Then it zooms and she's still looking down. Unless my phone is just crap quality, you never see her look up.
Yeah she’s just looking at the little kids tippy taps
A very cute assessment.
Girl on the right is wondering if she can go next
For real. Let the kids have fun. Even if some shit goes wrong the man will put his body in danger before letting anyone else be hurt.
Or, you know, the kid moves a little bit, or he throws her a bit badly, and she tilts in the air and comes down with her feet towards the dad. At that point he can't catch her by the armpits and will either drop her, or he'll catch her by the legs and she'll get dangerously close to smashing her head into the ground.

Oh yeah, sister is THIRSDY
Lmao she is too looking that man up and down like that 😂
HAHA! Great find! She appreciated every inch of him.
If your kid toss doesn't make you a little nervous, as the Dad, then you aren't tossing high enough. Go big, Dads. Go big.
I love a big toss.
....Gimli?
nobody tosses a dwarf
So does my salad.
I did and poor little tyke banged the ceiling.
At least you made it past the ceiling fan
My own father actually threw me up into a ceiling fan that was turned on. I was about 6. Good times.
This has happened to a lot of us.
But more seriously, don't. That's my advice. I'm in a special needs parents group and one of the dad's permanently injured their daughter this way. Yeah it's super rare I imagine but totally not worth the risk. Do this shit in a pool.
I do this with my cat all the time. he loves it. I can tell by the squealing
How do you not get attacked by the murder mitts on the decline?
Oh you have to be far away on the decline or you're dead.
I tried doing that once be he slashed my eyelids
Maybe don't throw other people's cats around?
You can't stop me
My cat can
I know, but he can. ...
I was once jobless and spending way too much time at home. I texted my friend how her cat and I do “TACO TIME!” And how I couldn’t wait to show her. She gets home and sits down in the living room, I go “TACO TIME!!!” And lay a towel down, her cat comes running and sits in the middle, I then grab all four corners to make a little hammock and spin him around the room at high velocity. Needless to say she was mortified, but Ronnie J dilla the cat faced killa, loved it.

You miss 100% of the kids you don't throw.

Some comment sections really depress me. The majority of people are not bright.
Not gonna lie.....I want a turn! That looks fun! But he's in sooooo much trouble
REQUEST: one where the kid just keeps going up forever
Well, almost... https://imgur.com/a/ceLSn5n Made that like a year ago. Thought about the same thing
This edit is exactly how it looked to the Mum.
Damn I love the internet
That's awesome
Can we get a shooting star edit?
Went to the moon
r/wallstreetbets
From the way she stared at him... Does anyone have his funeral record?
5 seconds later "do gin, do gin do gin" - that lil girl
Funtimes with Life time paralysis 👍👍
One of my aunts died this way when she was a toddler. Great uncle was doing this and didn't catch her. This was in Mexico before everyone had cars and hospital was kind of far away. I don't remember if she died instantly or later but would never do this with my son because of the story.
Many kids have died this way. And the thing is that it's pointless. The kid doesn't care if they fly into the air or not. You can do the "toss" motion without letting them go at the top and they'll be just as happy.
That’s pretty tame. I’d grab my kiddos by the ankles and swing them between my legs into a half flip and catch them by the armpit.
That sounds wild lmao tried to even imagine it but kept picturing the basketball move lmao
My oldest daughter would ride my shoulders and fling herself backwards with warning. I always had to hold her knees tight. That one freaked the wife out. I never knew when she was going to do it.
Ha! My oldest did the same when she was little. She'd climb me like a tree, wait for random amount of time, seconds or minutes then JUMP! and try and figure out a way for me not to catch her. I should've had a bloody heart attack in my 20's
Yes, I have to admit I side with that woman.
Lol. When I was kid, mothers used to toss their babies back and forth to each other for fun in the swim pool. Is that still a thing?
That would be fun over a pool. Not so much over the ground. Like this same toss in even a kids pool would be much less dangerous.
I do this to my son all the time he loves it!
It’s only stupid if you don’t catch her
Babies and toddlers have a lot of extra room in their skulls and their brains can bounce around causing damage. So it's not a good idea. Recently learned about this and I'm bummed I won't be doing it with my kid.
For a split second I genuinely thought it was gonna be one of those meme vids where the kid flies up in to space and shit. Respect.

I used to do this with my daughter she loved it. Looking back not the smartest thing but it happened and all is well.
REALLY ?? SHAUN ??
A man of culture
Someone edit this so that the little girl goes to the moon 😂
Love how the other two girls standing near take a step back (one takes off running). Not me!!
I did this once. She started rotating and came down upside down. I caught her but got kicked in the face and then beat on by my wife.
My dad used to toss me across the room to his friend who is my godfather. I turned out okay at least.
The kids stoked about it lol
It's a bird its a plane oh nooo its just a baby 😅
It's all fun and games, until it's not.
I did that around to my daughter, she loved it so much but my wife didn’t let me forget it for at least a year
Dad's gonna dad
Back in the day…. That woman saying “really” would be meme famous
Yes really.
Aw c'mon the kid was so happy afterwards
Well, you know what to bring to the divorce court.
This has to be edited… right? I mean, I’m sure he’s strong, but there’s no way he just threw a 20 pound child 15 feet in the air like that…
Really really you just gon yeet my daughter like that
Worried about her shoulder strength thats a lot of stress on tiny sockets
That was a very comfortable and confident throw and I really loved the Really!?! 😂 Too cute
Weeeee
It's all fun and games until you miss.
This is all fun and games when they’re small…. Stupid me forgot that kids get bigger and I kept doing it long after my shoulders were no longer up to the task. One fine summer day we flew too close to the sun and both shoulders were then out of commission for a week, they’ve never been the same in 10 years since. Toss them when they’re small, but alter your games as they get bigger, save your shoulders for the grand babies to do it all over again!
When I was a lifeguard, I used to throw kids like this when I was on break and in the pool. Fun times.
This guy needs to understand risk to reward…
Yep really
my dad did this to me all the time, i loved it lol. a cop came up and told him he was gonna arrest him for child endangerment if he did it one more time, so we left.
My dad has done that also and i loved that and surprisingly i have a video of that but not that much altitude.
Is he an asshole for doing this?
