Life lesson #235: Never joke about wanting a giant teddy for your baby

Donné Restom


See that speck? Perched atop the monolithic pile of soft toy? That, my friends, is a baby – and she is STOKED. *mum not so much.

 

Everyone, meet Sabrina Gonzalez. Sabrina lives in San Jose, California.

California: that’s in the US of A. It’s home to all the BIG things.

I’m not talking about Australia’s versions of BIG things (bananas, merinos, pineapples and other fruits), I’m talking about walking down your local supermarket aisle and praying to God the cereal boxes don’t tumble from the shelves because they will surely crush you. I’m also talking about stuffed animals so large, you need a second mortgage.

Now, Sabrina is a new mum to 5-month-old daughter, Madeleine.

This is them here:

Sabrina’s dad / Madeleine’s grandad works at Costco - AKA Where the Giant Things Are.

Last Friday he posted a pic of him, wallowing in said giant things:

And new mum Sabrina jokingly wrote beneath it: “Maddie needs one of those.”

Little did she know…

Grandad just had to take it that one step too far and BOUGHT HER THE GIANT THING.

He thought it was hilarious, writing, “LOL I got one”

(It was actually a little bit hilarious for his daughter to watch, as he documented his struggle with the giant beast, wrestling it down supermarket aisles and into his ute.)

It was hard work.

Because it’s a VERY BIG bear

And yes, OBVIOUSLY it is every child’s fantasy. And no, not even the most cold-hearted Gollum could help but smile at the snuggly charms of such a squishy pair.

I mean, look:

Its foot is bigger than Madeleine!

Needless to say, when Sabrina posted her pictures on Twitter, the internet exploded with the giantness and cuteness of the whole thing.

But quite frankly, the internet is a heartless fool. The internet thinks not of Sabrina at all.

Just wait till that kid is two and wants to take her favourite toy in the car.

 

But until then… Naw!!
