[@marcusamirite]

I appreciate that Angela mentioned feeding yourself is a vulnerable thing to do. Like she said he was hungry and waited and waited. Poor guy.

[@sydneygorelick7484]

I also appreciate that--especially when your food requirements are so different from the people around you, it definitely can be a lot

[@rebelscumcustomsweathering5584]

Waited longer than they even mentioned if you really listened he waited an hour before he was hungry then waited ANOTHER hour and a half. Until he grabbed the first half. Now only waiting another 10-15 after that to wipe out the rest after you just ate a foot and a half may have been a bit much

[@abimorrisonpossibleplantba9783]

yup he waited for a hour after the party started then waited another hour and half so the party has been going on for 2 and a half hours then 2:45 in he eats the rest then they freak out like the party has been going on for almost 3 hours like yes he should of announced anyone want more cause I’m gonna eat it and the fact they bullied him even worse after he offered to buy mor food is literally crazy but yeah he waited a long time

[@Janjones7735]

He’s still an AH. He had already eaten a portion of the sandwich so he likely ate 2/3 of it. As someone who has a huge appetite, if you know you’re going to eat out of proportion to the other guests you bring extra food for yourself.

[@Monster_sky_high]

think they’re made becaUe parties don’t end that early and he pretty much ended the party within the shortest amount of time possible, the fight hadn’t even ended. People are going to want to eat while they stand around after talking about the fight

[@lachlansmith7398]

There's absolutely nothing complicated about the boyfriend's penis story. He went along with it, explained in private why it makes him uncomfortable, explained the history about it and asked her not to make the joke again. Respect other peoples boundaries. He is not blowing it out of proportion and if anything, the OP was not taking her boyfriend seriously.

[@christopherscotts5797]

Yeah them saying it was so complicated was kinda weird and I think Angela kinda felt it too. It's not complicated. The OP was an asshole. There's not really an angle where she isn't

[@clara2368]

real, u should never ever make fun of something ur partner (or anyone) cant change in a room with other people.. especially since it's genitals

[@meowJACK]

Yup. I honestly think the whole thing was a No Assholes Here situation (like she was mildly an AH for mocking his penis in front of all his friends to begin with, but not a huge deal) until the point where she decides to post on Reddit about it and tack on that "is he overreacting? shouldn't he just take a joke??" like damn, all he did was express to her in private that it made him feel insecure because he doesn't enjoy being teased about it (who tf enjoys having your entire group of friends laughing at how small your dick is?!?) and expressed that he doesn't want her to do that anymore. People are allowed to have boundaries about their partner making fun of them to other people. If it makes them uncomfortable/insecure then you should just respect that. It's not an "overreaction" to not want your gf to make you the butt of the joke to the entire friend group, over something that is a touchy subject for you. Some people are OK with that, but lots of people aren't. He expressed it in a very reasonable and healthy way, he wasn't mad at her, they talked it out, that should be the end of the story. Why tf did she have to turn around and be like "OK BUT IS HE ACTUALLY AN ASSHOLE THO"

[@melly8318]

THISS. I was literally shouting to the screen. It's NOT complicated, she was being an asshole for the fact that she's even thinking he is blowing it out of proportion. Just because you don't understand the insecurity he feels, doesn't mean he's being dramatic what the hell...

[@SaysSamara]

He was saying all the different layers of why it's truamatic, hurtful and embarrassing are complicated. He even listed them out. The story is simple, all the different reasons it could be painful are not.

“In most situations, making fun of your partner’s genitals in front of a group of people is generally not good.” Words of Wisdom from Shayne

[@lunchbox3124]

Yet he said it was “complicated” imagine if the genders were reversed he would’ve gotten his sword and shield out so fast

[@cheesecakelasagna]

@@lunchbox3124 when people say complicated they usually mean there's a whole lot of conversation within that conversation to go over so everyone's on the same page everytime it's on topic but time and social eloquency makes it hard to distill it into a quick brief. Think of it like a long sigh when you know there's more to say but you're or your energy is simply not capable of navigating at that moment.

[@joshdunne8792]

Never insult your partner (especially publicly) to others because it is as much a reflection of you as it is them. If it's minor everyday things not if they're seriously abusive like physically. I don't understand people complaining about their spouse or insulting their spouse online or in public because WHY are you complaining? YOU picked them... what does that say about you? It really confuses me when comedians do it. Telling funny stories about your partner is fine but when people actively complain and insult their partner their partener isn't the problem

[@tayjet]

Another banger from Shayne from iCarly

[@Deedj1]

Honestly I think it’s pretty clear the gf was the AH. You don’t joke abt your partner’s physical attributes (esp. Something as personal as genitals) in front of others if you are not 1000% sure they’re ok with it. Yeah you might joke about it as couples, but that’s not a ticket to make it a punchline with other people he admires. That could have been SO awkward, and while everyone played it off in good fun, clearly boyfriend wasn’t comfortable with that. She is the AH bc she didn’t clear that with him first, it’s not “complicated”, and I can’t believe him expressing his feelings could be seen as “blowing it out of proportion”.

Poor Allan, they were waiting for him to do something like this to have this reaction, especially the girlfriend. I bet they always complain about him behind his back. They didn't let him buy more food, because they weren't really hungry, they just wanted to get their feelings out.

[@xpeachypie4133]

i watched this with my bf and that was the first thing i said. the way they let him make a "problem" out of himself while they just watched and pig rolled off of the gfs tongue so easily. like i could NEVER call someone that, especially when i basically set a trap for them. poor allan i hope he finds better friends.

[@Abzuzu]

⁠@@xpeachypie4133100% agree I would be upset too but I would stop being upset as soon as Allan offered to buy more food.

[@jacforswear18]

They are blatantly fatphobic. The girlfriend’s comments are out of bounds. He wasn’t even inconsiderate! He was going to buy more food, and if she wants a sandwich from her friends shop she can go tomorrow. It’s not like it’s the only food she can eat in that moment.

[@ShelbyZealand]

I agree. I also think this type of drama is "Cinderella drama," meaning once midnight hits, the day is over... let it go. What good is done to keep it going, in this case? I situation is over, learn what lessons are there to learn and move on.

[@janywill-cc7jc]

[@annareichert15]

About the twin story: Triplets are most often a set of identical twins and a fraternal triplet, so it is absolutely reasonable that one of them would not share all of the same traits. ADDITIONALLY, skin color is not a simple punnett square situation in the way something like eye color might be. Somewhere upwards of 300 different genetic expressions contribute to melanin production and skin color. Skin color can also change and develop until a child is around two. The range for phenotype variability when it comes to skin color, especially in biracial children, is very significant.

[@lina9535]

Thank you!! Finally someone who knows how things are! The punnet square isn't accurate to eye colors anymore either. I think there is like 20-ish different genes that can determine eye color. It was something like the BB, Bb, bb still works, but you can have a person with BB (brown) that has blue or green eyes, same with the other two. The percentage is low, but it happens.

[@ettinakitten5047]

@@lina9535 Yeah, for example both the OCA2 and HERC2 genes contain recessive alleles that can cause blue eyes. So if two blue eyed people with blue eyes due to the same gene have kids together, all the kids will be blue eyed, but if someone with HERC2 related blue eyes and someone with OCA2 related blue eyes get together, and neither of them carry an allele for blue eyes in the other gene, they will actually have 100% brown-eyed kids. However, most blue eyed people of European ancestry are all descended from the same person who had a HERC2 mutation, so that's why we thought it was a single gene trait for so long.

[@georgimarcus7103]

YESSSS

[@DavidSSabb]

That's funny, I never knew that was how it was usually because the only triplets I've ever known IRL are a set of them I went to high school with. Three blonde dudes, but they were all radically different heights. Like the shortest was 5'1" maybe and the tallest was well over 6 feet and on the basketball team. And then the third was average height

[@georgimarcus7103]

@@DavidSSabb that probably means that they were identical, but while in the uterus they were basically scrapping for nutrients, so the height aspect wasn’t fairly distributed, thats usually why you see identical twins but one of them is notably bigger than then other

[@emilyyy2002]

The first story hits so close to home to me, me and my siblings are all different skin shades and have different eye colors, hair colors but were undoubtedly 100% siblings My poor mother was constantly accused by neighbors and teachers that she cheated on my father. It was so frustrating and alienating as a child to have your familys existence constantly scrutinized and invalidated.

[@Just1Nora]

That is so incredibly rude and insulting! The fact that people don't understand that genetics goes farther back than the parents is crazy. There are 23 chromosomal pairs in the human genome; skin color, eye color, hair color and texture, height and build, etc are also determined by more than just one pair each. Plus, just because a certain trait is dominant it doesn't mean that the child can't receive a recessive trait. Less likely, sure, but not impossible. Like Chanse's hazel eyes. The more diverse that the parents' backgrounds are the more options are possible for the children. It could even be as far back or farther than a great grandparent of a different ethnicity or skin tone. It's so shitty that people thought that a) it was something your mother would do, b) thought it was something to think or discuss, and c) something they felt was appropriate in the slightest to say to her or you guys. Sometimes the stupid and hurtful things that come out of some people's mouths astound me.

[@tyriaxepheles7996]

The way they didn't say anything and then exploded at him makes me feel like they were waiting for a reason to bully him. They completely overreacted and calling someone a pig for eating food is just so vile. He even tried to apologize and buy a new sandwich and she kept being an asshole. I feel so bad for the guy.

[@pyrocholonic]

What gets to me is that none of his friends said anything, all the complaining and name calling was done by one person who roped her friends into siding with her. It seems like nobody else cared about it.

[@DragonbornMike-ym2er]

​@@s-s00Except it's clear the amount of food wasn't properly calculated, as they had no problem eating all of OPs wings without him getting one. And if this food was supposed to be reserved for someone specific, it probably should've been moved to the side or even the fridge by the host, especially if it's his girlfriend. OP literally brought his own food and was still hungry. This party didn't have enough food or snacks.

[@-roxanna9216]

​@sashathebee I see your point, but the op offered to buy more food and was turned down pretty harshly. At that point I think the person was more into trying to humiliate the op (called him a pig in FRONT of everyone) than focused about the food. And hey, shit happens. If there's not a lot of food left and people are hungry, get more fucking food? And if you have an issue with the money, tell the people you didn't expect to run out of food as quickly and if they could pitch in a bit?

as someone who’s birthday is almost always on thanksgiving, i feel for the COD guy a little bit. It’s hard bc he is a dad so it’s like, dude, sacrifice. But also, everyone deserves to celebrate their birthday.

[@DefectiveDictionary777]

Yeah. I feel like that might be one of the more complicated stories on here. As long as it's not an unreliable narrator situation, there's a lot of possible factors. On the one hand, having kids is (usually) a conscious choice, and so you have to expect to lose a lot of your free time to them, especially when they're that young. On the other hand, I feel like people are over-valuing the importance of Christmas being celebrated on the exact right day. If Christmas was really the first time in 3 years that all his old friends were going to be online together, I don't see the harm in possibly celebrating Christmas on Christmas Eve or the 26th, as it's probably going to be another number of months or years before those friends are all together again. And speaking as someone who most strongly connects and opens up to people while playing games with them (digital, tabletop, or otherwise), playing together with people can be something a lot more than just trying to rack up ranks for a few hours. Overall, I think the whole issue could be avoided by just having an open and honest conversation a week or so ahead of time to figure out the best way for everyone to be happy.

One of the things that really is commendable about the Boyfriend in the “making fun of my bf’s penis” story is that he very easily could’ve been the asshole if he went off on his girlfriend at the party itself. He waited until they were private and didn’t embarrass her in public, sorry gf that wasn’t him overreacting. That was proper boundary setting and communication skills.

[@sweetmother2406]

Very true! He handled it with the tact his girlfriend lacks

[@aveaoz]

Would he be the sole asshole tho? I think it'd be ESH at best. She's body shaming him in front of his friends. I was just thinking about that one reddit story they read a while back about the boyfriend who kept telling the gf that she needs a shower as a way to neg her to keep her to stay with him, and while the last part is probably not the case in this story, it doesn't feel totally dissimilar. She's regularly playing with his insecurity, and in this story she brings it up in an inappropriate context in front of his friends.

I'm so with you. My relationship with my parents is very different from yours, but even when my mom made cringey jokes, it was never that big of a deal.

If there's extra I just ask if everyone who wants some got some, ask how much they've had, and help dish it out or whatever before I finish the rest. If I didn't ask or do any of that I feel like the perfect response is to pay for how much I ate, get food, basically what he offered.

I cannot imagine having the nerve to demand money from a friend for something they already paid me for. That’s crazy entitled behavior that I feel like gets completely overlooked here. Also, it’s PRINTS of their work, not originals. I feel like Shayne Chanse and Angela all missed that part, because they made it seem like this big emotional thing for OP to even sell it in the first place rather than keep it because they “made it with their own hands”. No they didn’t, they clearly make a bunch of copies to sell of all their originals.

I just want to talk about part of someone's comment about Allan's food. They ate all of his food quickly and didn't leave a single wing for him, and he was gracious about it. He actually waited an hour and a half, cause he said he waited an hour and then another half hour, and then ate it, and offered to get more when they were extremely rude, even though they had other food. That just seems so messed up to me

It really reads like they were just waiting for him to slip up in any way to bully him, seems to me they are Allan's twin sister friends and not his sadly.

[@orcfaeries9227]

yeah, the absolute lack of empathy for the guy is insane to me the understanding when I hang out with other people is that if there is food on the table, it's up for grabs for anyone regardless of portion. I couldn't imagine food sitting on the table for over an hour

[@SiKedek]

Yeah, my general impression of the situation was that they had a "stereotypically mainstream American" party, with more drinks than food. Allan would be right at home at a Filipino party, where it's an unspoken obligation to have too much food, up to the point where not only everyone has had their fill 2x over, they have to bring a couple boxes home to take home for their families or leftovers for the next couple of days (at least). If any Filipino party were stingy (and people would gossip incessantly about it), word would get around so quickly that any family in their right mind would note to avoid that family for their next party...

[@Andrew-kr3vd]

[@trailblazer225]

I've heard this story several times, and I think I finally put my finger on why his friends clearly seem like the asshole to me here. There is one thing that you could maaaybe reasonably criticize Alan for, which is being inconsiderate of the fact that other people might want the food. You could also argue he was considerate by bringing food for everyone and also waiting for an hour before getting more, but there's at least some merit to the idea that eating more than your "fair share" is inconsiderate. But once Alan instantly acknowledges that he messed up, apologizes profusely, and offers to go get food to replace the food he ate, he's clearly shown that he regrets his possible lack of consideration and is trying to be considerate by doing anything he can to rectify the situation. If you continue to berate him as a pig beyond that without any regard for his feelings, then you're saying the problem wasn't that he was inconsiderate of you; you just don't like his eating habits and his body, and you have decided to make your opinion his problem. At that point, I feel pretty comfortable saying those "friends" are the assholes, and they can fuck off.

[@jitterz_]

The story about the guy eating the sandwich kinda hit me hard lol. I've struggled with body image issues for a long time and can't even begin to imagine how I'd react emotionally if someone said those things to me. On one hand, he probably should've asked if he could eat the remaining pieces but, on the other hand, the way they blew up in his face about it kind of broke my heart. He even acknowledged it himself at the beginning of the story saying that he's "the token fat guy". It just feels like the girl who blew up on him had an intrinsic sense of that and took that as an opportunity to (consciously or unconsciously) berate him and demean him. it just hurts to hear about something like that with little to no regard for any other factors that might have led him to do that.

With Allen eating the sandwich too, one of two things happened when the hostess asked where the sandwich went: either they all watched him eat it and said nothing, then proceeded to angrily mock him for eating it when they could've stopped him earlier, or, everyone was unaware of the sandwich being eaten and when she asked where it went, they IMMEDIATELY assumed he ate the whole thing instead of assuming the rest of the guests ate it. Both of which are messed up because either they watched and waited for him to walk into a trap, or they have this predetermined image in their head of "of course it's Allen that ate the whole thing."

[@GIRru11]

The sandwich story is easily the worst one for me. There are so many signs that everyone created an opening to trash on OP and his eating problem. They ate all yhe wings without even thinking of leaving any for him. They knew the sandwich was out and anyone with a brain knows that sandwiches wont be as good after an hour of being left out, but even then no one stopped him from eating it and let him do it.

Maybe Alan's sister has been complaining to her friend about Alan and the sister and her friend are just using this situation to try and shame him into correcting his eating issues.

The story about Alan always upsets me. His "friends" are the assholes in that story. I feel so bad for him. Up front he made a point of saying he thought he had a problem, meaning his eating habits and weight are already weighing him down and making him upset. Then to turn around and have people you thought cared about you stomp on you while you're already feeling low, over food no less, is insane to me. You should NEVER be denied food, you should never be punished for eating or have food used as a punishment/weapon against you, and to feel like you are compelled to "make this up to them" by buying more food is insane after they neglected to eat it for it that long. I really hope Alan has a better support system now.

[@shay5479]

yeah and like even if he was the asshole in the situation, it’s the friends’ responsibility to just casually communicate to him to not do something like it next time. that’s all they had to do, but they chose to rub it in his face and treat it like a crime. and he even offered to buy another sandwich and apologized, that’s such a good way to handle it

I find it strange that already from the get-go she’s kind of judging his body. I mean seriously she HAD TO bring up that he’s 7 inches and then say ‘its not huge or anything’, i mean come on. So strange, she thinks so lightly of the issue as if its crazy that someone could be insecure about body shaming. No way in hell could he get away with any body shaming about her, but when its his penis, probably the biggest source of physical insecurity to a man, its just some light joke he takes as an overreaction??

[@asnwolf4507]

I’m glad you brought up the art one again because there was something I missed the first time. 23:20 word got around? So he didn’t even tell her he sold her art at a gallery. He said he kept the money as “payment for showing her what the art was worth”, but never actually intended to show her he flipped it for profit. he definitely bragged about it to the wrong person how he used someone else’s art to make money, and they told the original artist.

the sandwich story made me tear up a bit i can’t lie, i can’t imagine making your friend feel that bad over eating a little bit more than his share at a party when the food had just been sitting around and he had the courtesy to wait a while before eating more. it’s okay to set the boundary that he can’t eat ALL of the leftovers but to be so cruel to him over a sandwich when he brought food himself (that he didn’t get any of) and waited a good amount of time before deciding to eat the food SO IT DIDNT GO TO WASTE! alan would be welcome at my gatherings any day, i love cooking for people and if i had a whole spread set up and no one else was eating it i’d be pretty bummed as a host.

[@T-51_]

One time my little brother was playing in the garden and he broke the lawn gnome and I told him they’re gonna come for revenge, I bought 10 garden gnomes, placed one outside his window, three in the backyard and the rest outside his bedroom door, as soon as he saw the lawn gnome peeping through his window all hell broke loose.

[@Forevanity]

Agreed. I don't think Allan should have eaten as much as he did without communicating it as a rule of basic social etiquette. There's a chance the hosts were looking forward to having extra for the following day, only to find out the hard way that at least half of it had been eaten by a single person. However, clearly people noticed and also didn't say anything--people that were sniffing out blood and waiting for an opportunity to pounce. Even after his so-called friends berated him and dog piled, he did the right thing: he offered to pay them back for it after it was made clear he wasn't meant to eat as much as he did, they said no, and that was that. I hope he finds better friends who don't put him down. They all just sound like pretty privilege brats who were looking for a reason to jump on the big guy.

Sorry, but the WAP mom sounds freaking AWESOME to me! Her daughter is just being overly uptight because she's still figuring herself out and has fragile self esteem. When you hear about all the crazy stuff moms commonly do to emotionally scar their kids, this mom seems like a dream mom compared to those others. I think her daughter is just at an age where she will always be mortified by anything her mom does, but hopefully she'll grow out of that soon.

The Sandwich story: as a large guy myself, SURE I can acknowledge that fact, and even make it seem like a super casual observation and that I’m “clearly” cool with it. I’m not. I hear myself in “Alan’s” voice. ANYTIME family/friends get together and put out a spread, I INTENTIONALLY “head to the bathroom” or do something that puts me in a situation where I’m ALWAYS last in line. I’m TERRIFIED of taking more than my share and potentially being shamed. I feel bad for Alan, but I DO see the point (but not the execution) of the friend’s criticism.

[@OsiriasWorld]

Honestly same. I’ve seen skinnier people eat more than someone of my size and they’re usually never told anything, but I watch how much I eat (which for the record because of having this kind of mindset I don’t eat much on a regular day) and yet I’m still on the bigger side. If I consume more that what others expect of me I’m easily called out and it’s frustrating.

The issue I have with the friends in Alan's story was how they ganged up on him and fat shamed him, and when he tried to reconcile, they just didn't let him. They could've been more civil about it because they had a good point, but their execution was over the top

I bet if Allan had an athletic build and ate a lot, they would have a different reaction. If they are really friends they should be able to have a conversation with him,

[@twigbranch4556]

55:13 I would be chill with it, It’s clear besides this he’s a supportive, caring and helpful dad, the 1 day besides fathers day, which tbh is also often more about the kids and being with the children is shared with this big important family day so he rarely gets free time to be with friends or have a social life outside his kids. I think it’s understandable and reasonable for him to want to do this one thing, especially when most of his childhood would have been about siblings or other people and he would rarely get a chance to have partys as friends would also be with family. Forcing him to have his birthday a different day also implies that your wants are invalid and less important. we also don’t get a timeline for how long, so if he wants to play for an hour or two then he could suggest his wife have time to do something for herself after while he looks after and plays with the kids.

[@thecraziestcrayon]

With the COD Christmas story, I agree with Shane that the magic of Christmas day ends around noon. He can spend the morning opening presents with his kids, then hop on COD with his boys in the afternoon after everything is cleaned up and the energy has died down. Maybe the wife wants to do a family dinner? Then play in the evening after the kids are asleep. There are ways to make both work.

[@BTLJKS]

His wife could have just gifted him his time with the boys as a birthday present. Clearly his birthday means a lot to him, because he never had any. He's being protective and I completely get that. And these friends are clearly very close to him, akin family. If anything she sound a bit control-freakish to me. Threatened to throw his XBOX away, doesn't like his friends. Even that part that she doesn't want him helping in the kitchen plays into that

[@new0news]

I kind of agree and kind of disagree. Don't Americans have christmas supper? How do you get a whole christmas dinner cooked for noon? (I guess it makes all those American christmas movies about being so stressed about the turkey make more sense lol). Also I think we need some info on what COD with the boys means because some people think playing online games for 8-12 hours is a "normal" amount of time for a gaming session. And sure that's great if you have no other responsibilities but the dude does have other responsibilities.

[@iulia.bianca.b]

​​@@new0news I think you're mixing up Christmas Eve dinner with Christmas day. Christmas Eve dinner happens on the 24th and Christmas is on the 25th, when you open the gifts in the morning, and nothing else happens usually, unless you have a Christmas lunch. He could've still played with his friends later in the afternoon. It sounds to me like she absolutely hates that he wants to spend some amount of time with his friends. That man is on a leash 24/7 (He also said that all he does is spend time with his kids, and that he hasn't seen his friends in 3 years, since his first child was born). My boyfriend of 10 years spends time playing online with his friends multiple times a week. It's the one things he loves to do and I think it's fair that he gets that alone time with the boys. That woman is cruel.

[@taeminislove]

​@@new0newsThe thing is though, just bc he's playing with the boys doesn't mean he can't take breaks. I play with friends and the guy friends I have would sometimes sit out some rounds to do things when they're asked to do stuff by people at home/partners. Also, idk about you but if my bf/husband asked to spend half of his bday with his friends, I'd let him. He's not asking for a whole week off of daddy duties and he mentioned that he's never hung out with those friends in years. Hell, if my partner hadn't seen a friend for even just a YEAR and only had ONE chance to do it bc of sched conflicts, I'd let him.

[@thecraziestcrayon]

@@new0news every family is different. My family does a brunch. Even so, like I said, OP could play after dinner when everything is cleaned up and his kid is asleep. The part of Christmas that a 3yr old would really care about is the presents, and that part is usually done in the morning. So, OP spends the morning opening presents with his kid, then plays COD after while his kid plays with his gifts. OR maybe he and his wife could negotiate out a time frame or limit. Like, he plays until dinner, or for a set amount of hours, or he doesn't play until everything's been cleaned up, or until the kid's asleep, or whatever. They just need to communicate and work out a way for him to have a good day

[@stitchedwithcolor]

Yup. A friend and their brothers have such similar facial structure but such different colorings (one is all dark brown eyes, dark brown hair, darker skin; one is a pale, blue eyed blonde, one is in the middle with auburn hair) that i used to joke that their parents sat down with a catalog, picked a good option, and just got one in every color. A college friend came from a family of white people and got all the dark genes so people mistake her for all sorts of ethnicities. Genetics are weird, and it's none of your business how your friend's kids came to be.

[@ttintagel]

My mom is a twin. When they were first born, my aunt had that thing some newborn babies get where their face is purple. By the time the babies came home it had started to fade, but her face still looked darker than my mother's. Their older brother told all the neighborhood kids that has mom had one white baby and one black baby, and they all wanted to come and see.

[@edenflynn2524]

This. My partner has much lighter skin than both of his parents and his older sister, who appears to be an even mix of their parents' skin tones. His sister has 4 sons, the first is even lighter than my bf, the twins are the same shade as their dad (who is much darker, he's of Caribbean descent), and the youngest is right in between mom and dad. Genetics are so cool but very unpredictable! That girl is the AH, she needs to learn more about genetics before she assumes the mom is a cheater. You'd think she'd know her friend better.
